Tools

I was creating and testing some UTM links and used two main tools, one to test the link format and one to help me test the analytics.

Looking for a list of websites which will convert tweets to images? Look no further, we’ve found the best free web apps for you.

Video marketing is often thought of as a very general approach, with a broadcast message to as many people as possible. But it doesn’t have to be, I use tools for customised personalised video marketing and I’ll explain how in this blog post.

I managed to get my static site publishing workflow working using StoryChief. Next, I needed to get my blogger workflow working. At the moment you can’t use Blogger as a primary channel, but I can use my stub api to allow me to publish ‘as if’ Blogger was a primary channel and control the canonical URL of the StoryChief posts so that Blogger is the Canonical post.

Pushing content to multiple platforms is a real pain. What software can help with that?

I’m currently experimenting with StoryChief

We might be using social media to market, and we might value followers on those platforms, but there is still a lot of power in having a mailing list.

I have been incrementally building the web site: building content, adding a few pages, and now it is time to add a “Contact Us” page. For a first quick and easy MVP, I use Google Docs.

I looked around at a few podcasting services before settling on PodBean and in this post I’ll provide a quick overview and review of the PodBean Service.

For my consultancy site I’ve been using Buffer to schedule content in advance. For this site and associated social media accounts I’ve been experimenting with PromoRepublic. In this post I’ll outline the differences and specifically some of the features I prefer in PromoRepublic.

Many people do not optimise their images for online publishing which can make their sites slow to load and doesn’t help you attract people on mobile devices, slower connections, or who have to pay per MB for their connection. On MS Windows, I use RIOT to convert and compress my images.

I’ve started up a tools page on the site, but thought I’d document the first tranche of tools that I use regularly when creating and promoting content.

• MissingLettr
• Buffer
• Stencil
• TubeBuddy
• StickerMule

I’ve never managed to get the snagit “convert to animated gif” feature to work well for me.
