Mark Sent Me!

Unlike a lot of recommendations you'll find on the internet,
I actually USE the things I recommend.

They wont appear here if I'm not getting productive use out of them
or if they havent helped either a client, or myself at one time or another.

Jim Rohn One Year Success Plan
Spectacular Personal Development System. Plain-spoken, yet brilliant.

I cannot recommend this course enough, as I've used it (and am in the followup years) but Dan Kennedy also told me "I have every Jim Rohn product. You should too."

NOTE: This service allows you to turn OFF double opt-in for those list members who have already opted in or bought something from you. This is important because moving a list and forcing yet another set of opt-ins frequently causes a lot of lost members because people get confused and just dont re-opt in.

Audio Postcards - Very cool service ($19.95 a month at the time I added it to this page). You can send anyone an email containing a link to a voice recording. Nicest thing about it is that you can do it on the road when you have no email access and it requires NO geek-knowhow. You simply call a number, record the email addresses that it will go to, record your message and they get an email with a link in it. DONT think its just limited to email. There are a ton of things you can do with this. You can also record using an inexpensive microphone headset. Audio Postcards via Email

Custom Cards and Postcards, automated, but with a personal touch

This vendor has an interesting system. They have all sorts of professionally designed cards online, both postcards and regular greeting cards. You choose the outside, and (here's the cool part), you type up what you want to say, just like an email - except that they take that and print it on the postcard or greeting card IN YOUR HANDWRITING and then you choose the signature - which is YOUR SIGNATURE and it all prints on the card, which they stuff, address and mail. Its great for automating touches to prospects in particular. IE: people you want to stay in contact with, but may not need a super personal touch from a real handwritten card. Give it a try. Send yourself one using the free trial on the link at right.
