Bullet Waits

Are you still coding links by hand? How much is that costing you?

If your time is worth at least $500 a hour, doesn’t it make sense to automate even the little things that you do often?

I know that Facebook can be a great place to put your best articles. You can create engagement and traffic that way… and your friends can pass your note along to their friends, getting you new subscribers.

Me Up A Tree

The tool I have for you today will speed up the process of posting articles as Facebook notes by automatically inserting HTML code to create hyperlinks.

You can try it out right now. I’ve made it a free download and after you unzip it, you can use it immediately. It requires no installation. It comes with a short sample article, so you can test it out right away.

Download Hyperlinker now. It will be yours to use forever. And I could start charging for it at any time.

Here’s to taking out the tedium!

This is why I create productivity tools: to have more time to spend enjoying nature.

This is my great dog Bullet…

Bullet Bites A Stick By The Similkameen

Hey my friend, how’s your marketing going?

I have a free tool here that will instantly make neat-looking redirect links for you, as many as you’d like, such as these:

http://YourDomain.com/aweber/
http://YourDomain.com/loves/rap/
http://YourDomain.com/trafficsecrets/
http://YourDomain.com/masscontrol/
http://YourDomain.com/launchformula/
http://YourDomain.com/flatabs/

You can download the tool right now and be using it in about a minute!

Do you use redirects to cloak your affiliate links? If you don’t, you should.

By using redirects, you’ll avoid mailing to their spam folder by not linking to blacklisted domains. If a domain gets blacklisted due to spammy promotion practices (not your fault!), your efforts could go to waste.

Also, affiliate links are often long, ugly, and people who see them might see a sales pitch coming and decide not to click. Whereas you can make your links as friendly as you want.

Also, if you use a link shortener such as Bitly, you miss out on branding opportunities you’d have if you made shortened links on your own domain.

When I first started using 301 redirects, on the recommendation of Willie Crawford, I did them manually with the file manager in my cpanel. That took a few minutes every time. I would create a folder, create an index.php file, edit it, paste in the code for the redirect, add my affiliate link, save it, and test my new link. Since I made this tool, I no longer have to do all that and I spend my time more productively.

Now I can churn out as many neatlinks as I want… at a moment’s notice. Then I FTP them to my server (with FileZilla), test, and I’m good to go!

Download this tool now. I could start charging for it at any time.

It requires no installation and is ready-to-use as soon as you unzip it. (I use WinRAR.)

Here’s a diagram showing how to use it…

So, how do you like it?

Imagine this for a moment. You just got an e-mail from Willie Crawford. He wrote you an excellent letter promoting an affiliate product you can promote too. You love the copy and want to rip it off so you can make more sales. Of course, you’re going to put it in your own voice before you send it out.

But his lines, the way he formatted the e-mail, are shorter than the length you want to use. And you want your e-mail to look uniform.

It takes too much time to reverse the word-wrap or Text Tidy effect by hand. You have to put a space at the end of each line and remove all the line-endings. What a waste of time!

Here’s where Expand My Text comes in handy. It removes the line-endings for you. You can copy the output to Text Tidy or whatever you use to format your e-mails neatly. Or you can copy it to Word and create an e-book right away.

It reformats old newsletters instantly.

If you’ve ever wanted to reuse or repurpose e-mail newsletters, now you can much more quickly!

Last night I came up with this idea and decided to make a utility for the IM community. In the middle of the night I created Expand My Text while I was in bed. It’s here to serve you now… to lengthen your lines, as Lucy Pinder does for something else.

Download Expand My Text now and try it out! Just unzip it and double-click “Expand My Text” and it’ll do its magic on the sample input I’m providing. (Windows users only.)

The text on the left turns into the text on the right with Expand My Text

You have to see it in action. Once you do, you’ll find plenty of uses for it… and it’s going to save you time. Download it now.

A Facebook trick to select all your friends at once

Before I tell you how to get the Toggle all button, I’ll show you a code you can use to quickly select them all. Then I’ll tell you how to use it. You might already know, that’s why I put the code first.

javascript:var x=document.getElementsByTagName("input");for(var i=0;i<x.length;i++) {if (x[i].type == 'checkbox') {x[i].click();}}; alert('Done, all your friends have been selected');

1. Login to Facebook and then go to any event, your page, or group you want to invite people to.

2. After you indicate whether you’re attending or maybe attending, the “Invite friends” button appears and then you have to click it.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of that window, so all your friends load. You might have to scroll multiple times. You can’t select friends who don’t appear in the window.

4. Copy the code above and paste it into the address bar of your browser (where it says www.facebook.com/event…) and then BEFORE you hit the Enter key: Press the HOME key or scroll back to the beginning of the code you pasted in the address bar. Make sure it starts with “javascript:…” – it may not! It might start with “var x=…” Retype javascript: manually at the beginning.

Once again, if you paste the code and press Enter and it goes to a Google search results page… you’ve got to add javascript: to the beginning… then hit Enter.

5. Wait until all the visible friends are selected (this might take a little while.)

6. You can also add a personal message before you click the “Send Invitations” button, if you’d like.

7. Click “Submit”

Toggle All Button - Another Facebook trick to select all your friends at once

1. You need the Google Chrome browser to get the button. This is the browser I recommend using anyway since it’s so fast. If you don’t have it yet, download it from http://www.google.com/chrome

2. Open Google Chrome and download the add on called “Extensions” here https://chrome.google.com/extensions

3. Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore and search for “Toggle all” or “Facebook Inviter”

4. Click the “ADD TO CHROME” button beside Facebook Inviter.

5. Click Install.

6. Once it’s installed, login to Facebook using Google Chrome and then go to any event, your page, or group you want to invite people to.

7. After you indicate whether you’re attending or maybe attending, the “Invite friends” button appears and then you have to click that button.

8. You’ll notice that a “Toggle all” button appears with the Submit and Cancel buttons. Click the “Toggle all” button and it will automatically select all your friends for you. It may take a few moments to process.

9. Click “Submit”

NOTE: You only have to install the “Toggle all” button once. After that, it’ll always be there for you to use.

Hope that helps!
