Some great resources

by Keiron on June 16, 2005

What looks like a list of great resources, that I’ve been meaning to look at for some time - I’ll store them here until I get a chance!

Software:
Nvu - http://www.nvu.com/ - Free
A Dreamweaver-like web authoring suite. Part of the Mozilla project.

KeePass - http://keepass.sourceforge.net/ - Free
An encrypted password database. Let’s face it, we all have WAY too many passwords to remember.

FileZilla - http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ - Free
FTP software that works really well.

Clipomatic - http://www.mlin.net/Clipomatic.shtml - Free
Caches Clipboard text for later reuse.

PrimoPDF - http://www.primopdf.com/ - Free
A print driver that will convert to PDF. Similar to Adobe Distiller.

Crimson Editor - http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ - Free
IMHO, the best freeware text editor. To many features to list here, so check out the site.

WinKey - http://www.copernic.com/winkey/ - Free
Assign hotkeys to open programs.

TUGZip - http://www.tugzip.com/ - Free
A free WinZip alternative that opens nearly all compression formats (7z, ACE, RAR, etc.).

Pimmy - http://www.geminisoft.com/en/pimmy/ - Free
Combination E-mail/Usenet/Media player software that’s tiny and fast. Probably won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s worth pointing out.

Craig’s Affiliate Link Redirector - http://www.bitbucketheaven.com/calr/ - $9.95
An affiliate link encoder. This is my favorite for (what should be) obvious reasons.

G-Lock Spam Combat - http://www.glocksoft.com/sc/ - Free/$35
Similar to MailWasher, but I personally like this one better. The free version only lets you use one account.

Online Utilities:
Furl - http://www.furl.net/ - Free
Save bookmarks and copies of pages. I like to use it as an electronic “swipe file” for good web copy I find.

Bloglines - http://www.bloglines.com/ - Free
Bloglines is an RSS viewing site. Just give them your favorite RSS feeds, and you can keep up-to-date with your favorite sites from any Internet-enabled computer.

Yahoo! - http://www.yahoo.com/ - Most services free
I can’t count how much I use the Notepad and Briefcase when on the road. You can also get e-mail, instant messaging, and several other tools as well.

eBooks:
(Note: most of these are affiliate/reseller links, but they ARE books I paid for myself.)

Write a Book in 14 Days or Less - http://www.bitbucketheaven.com/misc/writeabooknow.html - $39-up
Steve Manning’s formula and guide to quickly punch out a best-selling book in about 30 hours’ time.

Super Affliate Handbook - http://www.bitbucketheaven.com/misc/sah.html - $39
Considered by some to be the “bible” of affiliate marketing. May be too much hand-holding for experienced marketers, but perfect for newbies.

Info Millionaire - http://web.archive.org/web….ire.pdf - Free
This was the precurser to Frank Kern and Ed Dale’s “Underachiever Mastery Course”. Although slightly dated, the core information is as valuable as it ever was.

Autopilot Income Streams - http://www.bitbucketheaven.com/ais/ - $20
Jimmy Brown’s system for writing an autoresponder eCourse.

30 Days To Internet Marketing Success - http://www.bitbucketheaven.com/misc/30days.html - $97
While it might be pricey for some, I found this collection of plans and ideas to be very useful, just from an idea-generation point of view.
