Hi from SueC here at Six Figure Writing! As a new reader, be sure to subscribe to my email list, and my RSS feed to get the most out of SFW. Thanks for stopping by!
Here are a couple things I’ve run across recently and am starting to have trouble living without:
- Jott. This is FREE. You set it up so you can call and leave yourself or anyone else a message, and you get a text and/or email reminder. I’m on the road a lot so I can’t always put a post-it on my desk. I can also Jott my virtual admin, partners, anyone else - Addictive!
- CrazyEgg: creates a “heatmap” of visitors to your site. Are they looking at the book covers and leaving? Are they going to the audio link first? Free limited access.
- FreeMind mind mapping software. This freeware lets you create “mind maps” or concept maps, which can be incredibly helpful in putting your ideas on paper in a (more) coherent way. Or the graphics are just fun to play with. I plan to post a video here soon showing how to use this, I use it for sites, books, articles, great for storyboarding too.
- Joe’s Goals. If you don’t already have something you use to goal-set, this might help. I liked it for the tag cloud too - a little insight into what people are obsessing about today!
- Twitter. OK it seems idiotic at first. Why not just use RSS? Because even THAT can be time consuming. Twitter lets you read quick hits from people you follow, or send out your own. Just fun to read sometimes if you read everything being posted at once… I’ve been using it a while and still trying to decide if it’s useful, fun, or just a waste of time. Send me a tweet at 6figurewriting and let me know what you think.
What apps are you using we need to have right away?
