Laptop running low on memory space because of all those photos or PDF's? Here is a cure for you. Mozy offers TWO GIGABYTES of free online data storage. Seriously, no credit card needed. Upgrades are reasonable, too. I find the free service just fine for most of my needs but you can go unlimited for a small fee.

Many of you know I co-host a show with Jason Crouch and now Mike Mueller and Jeremy Blanton have regular segments as well. What you may not know is we actually do (a little) planning! We use Google Docs to do our planning because we can share access and co-edit the notes. Google Docs is free and all you need is a free Google account.

This one may look like a shameless plug because it is! If you are not using LANDING PAGES to capture online (and offline) leads you are missing a huge opportunity. I have done ONLY online business for the last 20 years and lead capture and contact management is essential to my continuation in business - it should be yours as well. If you just give someone a link to your website how will you know they visited? What will they do when they get there? Landing pages capture information even when people don't enter it. For example you may have seen links in email that look something like http://ilandings.com/dp.php?acc=10421&vis=192892&camp=18
Broken down that tells me account holder 10421 had a visit from user 192892 regarding campaign 18
The database will tell me account 10421 belongs to Heartland Real Estate, Mortgage and Tire Care. It will also tell me visitor 192892 (entered into the database by Heartland) is Mary Smith (along with all of her details). Lastly it will tell me campaign 18 (also entered into the database by Heartland) is for information about an upcoming open house and all the related information. Behind the scenes the iLanding will also track time, date, geographic location (if resolvable) and other information passed to the server.
The landing page will store that information into a database so you know that user clicked that link in that email - then the page will capture any information you ask for and store it in the database: name, address, phone, whether they are buying - selling - or building (whatever you want) and then allow you to follow up with them either automatically or manually right through that page. It will even tell them when they responded and why you are contacting them - of course it also allows them to opt-out.
The data can be emailed to you, or downloaded in CSV format to be imported into your favorite offline CMS. Or you can have a fully functional online CMS developed exclusively for you.
Here is a sample custom landing page:

There are tons of online tools to convert Word docs to PDF but not so many to do the opposite. Have you ever received a PDF file that you wanted to incorporate into some other work? Now's your chance UNLESS the PDF file is secured.

Heatmapping of webpages is relatively new and something I am still experimenting with. The website I'm giving the link to will describe the purpose in more detail but essentially it looks for "visual hotspots" or eyecatching regions on your web pages. All you do is upload a screen shot and it will do the rest. Something like this:
The purpose of this tool is to help you maximize the first 5 seconds of your visitors time and make sure your message is getting into their eyes quickly!
