Resources

This is a page full of all the resources I have personally bought and/or used. Some will be free, some are paid. However, they’re all incredibly useful. This page will be updated any time I try out something new or remember something I use that I forgot to put on here, so check back every once in awhile!

Testing And Tracking Sales Pages/Lead Generation (AKA  Squeeze Pages) etc.

Google Analytics – Absolutely 100% free software to track your conversions, visitors, and pretty much anything else you want. I personally use this for everything I do – http://www.google.com/analytics/

Google Website Optimizer (www.google.com/websiteoptimizer/) – Website Optimizer allows you to split-test your campaigns to maximize profits! Again, 100% free and easy to set up and use.

Clicktale - I freaking LOVE clicktale. This amazing tool allows you to literally watch people as they browse around your website. I personally use this for both my client-getting salesletter, my own side-projects, as well as client salesletters. Best thing is – click here and you can try it out for free

Productivity

RescueTime – I LOVE this tool. For some ridiculously low price like $10 per month it tracks your computer and shows you exactly where you’re spending the bulk of your time. When I first started with it – I was about as productive as the average business professional. Since I started using it… I’ve DOUBLED my productivity by using this alone. Is it worth $10 per month to double your productivity? Well, as long as you’re making more than $5 per year right now… I’d say so

Social Media Marketing

Twitter – Twitter is a great resource to use for networking. In essence, you send sentences of text (under 140 characters) and anybody who follows you can see what you’re up to. My recommended resource for using twitter is TweetDeck – which has so many options I can’t even describe…just check it out, it’s completely free and very fun!

You can also follow me by going to www.Twitter.com/JeremyReeves

Facebook – Connect with your friends, network with business partners and just have a little fun in your spare time. I’m sure you know what Facebook is so I won’t get into it.

You can “like” and join my Facebook Fan Page here

LinkedIn – This is a group where business professionals gather to chat and connect. Almost like a Facebook strictly for professionals You can checkout my profile and add me as a connection at my Linkedin page.

Keyword Research

Google Keyword Tool – This is an absolutely FREE tool that you can use to dig up some great keywords. I like this keyword tool better than 90% of the other one’s I’ve tried, even the paid keyword tools. The only problem with this is that it doesn’t show you the competition. It gives you the Adwords competition, but not for SEO. You can grab this at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Audio

Audacity – Audacity is probably THE BEST audio editing program out there..plus it’s completely 100% free! This is the same program I use to personally edit, create, and publish anything I do that’s audio. I also use it to put marketing/copywriting MP3′s from other copywriters and marketers onto audio CD’s so I can listen to it in my car.

Plus, it can speed up or slow down audios so if it only holds 80 minutes and your audio is 88 minutes, you can speed it up 10% and shave 8 minutes off your time.

Grab this at www.Audacity.com

Ben Settle – You can  listen to an interview I did with Ben talking about how important research is to copy and how he does his research that makes his ads sizzle and sell like crazy by checking out this copywriting research post (the audio link is on that page).

Blue Yeti Microphone - My absolute, 100% FAVORITE microphone on Earth. It’s expensive, but well-worth it if you ever talk to clients, do interviews, record any kind of audio, etc. with a microphone. I did an actual test comparing this microphone to an older one I bought which was around $30… and the Blue Yeti absolutely crushed it in terms of quality and richness. It also took away a horrible “raspy” sound the other microphone gave me.

I recommend getting the blue yeti microphone from Amazon.

Swipe Files

Hard To Find Ads – Another one by Michael Senoff is his website at www.HardToFindAds.com – this website contains dozens (maybe even hundreds) of different ads you can swipe..absolutely free.
