E-Junkie Has A Simple No Mess Setup (http://www.e-junkie.com/?r=40178) has the ability to sound digital downloads via a buy now or a add to cart button. For $5 a month you get unlimited transactions and you can store up to 200 MB. As the typical Paypal fees are 2.9% +.30 cents per transaction. If we through out the 30 cents, it would be 1$172 to pay $5 to paypal (depending on how many transactions that would be lower cause 30 cents a pop will eventuality add up). You can have up to 10 products. The 200 mb is what causes me concern. If you're selling videos that could chew up space (even zipped up). Selz.com Slick Flexible Shopping (http://www.selz.com) is a slick format that charges. They have cool tools that will stamp a pdf for those selling ebooks. They have tools to put your store on Facebook and other social media. For free you pay 4.9% + 30 cents for 5 products. If you go up to $12.99 you get unlimited products and you can customize your design. If you want a shopping cart it's $4.99 a m

The true power isn't the theme but a Divi (http://www.elegantthemes.com/affiliates/idevaffiliate.php?id=4473&url=18932

I stumbled across two tool that you can use to create screencasts. The first one is called Screencast-o-matic and the other is Jing. Screencast-o-matic allows you to record 15 minutes of video. You can record your screen and webcam, save the file and publish to YouTube. The free version will put a watermark on your video. I also found Jing which is from the same people who make Camtasia. This software allows you to create 5 minute videos. The files is a swf file. They used to have a pro version which allowed files of mp4, but that has been discontinued. So if you are looking for a free solution screencast-o-matic might be something to look at. If you want to go pro to allowed you to make longer recordings, perform edits, and remove the watermark, the price is $15/yr Scarcity Product Provides Live Stats to Customers Social Pop is a great idea. It works with sites like JVZoo, Click bank, Deal Guardian and others to give you real time statistics on sales. For example if you have a deal for the first 100 sa

I've seen a few programs that help you create logos. This is great, but sometimes you are in a hurry, and that is where logaster (https://www.logaster.com/ref/podcastcoach.html) comes in handy (for the record, I think its a dumb name). You put in the name of your company, or lead magnet (or whatever you're making a logo for) and an optional slogan. (https://www.logaster.com/ref/podcastcoach.html) spits out hundreds of potential logos that you can tweak. You can add key words to help you find and create the right logo for you. When you are done you can but a kit of the logo for $35 or just an online version. For screen 1024px (png, jpeg)$9.99 For screen 5000px (png, jpeg)$19.99 For print and screen (svg, pdf, png, jpeg)$24.99 Watch how easy it is to create a cool looking logo WATCH VIDEO (https://schoolofpodcasting.wistia.com/medias/59h0aztn3b)

I just discovered Here is a quick tutorial from the founder (http://intelliplayer.com/watch/8d76716i6) .

Yes I used this tool to make today’s post title. Previously I was playing with Headlinr as a tool for creating headlines. I like it. It’s a browser extension. This is an actual piece of software and it seems to have a bit more teeth. You can add words and additional functionality. It also has features to let you import and export Headlines. Builder The builder is where you type in a subject and it comes up with an insane number of headlines. If you like it you can copy it and paste it and use it in your blog post, video post, YouTube Video, etc. If you want to, you can add it to the “My Titles” tab and later come back and enter notes about how it worked. SwipeFile There is a swipefile tab which has over 3,000 headlines that are used to create a customized headline based on your subject. News Headlines I liked this tool to see what is happening in the news. You type in a subject and it searches Google and Bing for that subject. You can select what countries to use. Again, you can copy/add the title

I've used Aweber (http://podcastcoach.aweber.com/) makes you pay for people who have unsubscribed (but you've never removed - according toe convertkit.com's site). Until recently, you could not add a list to aweber without doing a double opt-in. In some cases (without using the list automation) you could easily have the same person on multiple lists and be paying for them. For me, I've been paing $15 a month ($180/yr) so it did what I wanted it to do - send email, and convert an RSS feed to an email.  I've wanted to start doing more strategies to build my list. I purchased Lead Pages, and purchased Optin Monster, and when I saw videos on Aweber (http://podcastcoach.aweber.com/) , part lead pages, part optin monster. The price seems a bit hit at $29 a month for 1000 subscribers (you can send 10X the number of subscribers). But then, if you're paying for unsubscribers it may be cheaper.  The cool thing is you can EASILY create segments of your list and just send (or exclude) them.

I currently use Appointlet. It's fine. It's simple, and it does what I wants. However, when I saw the The plugin is $46 (http://codecanyon.net/item/bookly-responsive-wordpress-appointment-booking-and-scheduling-plugin/7226091?ref=jammindave) .

In the past we've mentioned tools like Long Tail Pro, and Marketing Samurai, but there is a new tool on the scene called P1 Tartgeting App (http://jvz6.com/c/59893/181427) . It's a pretty cool keyword app. It does the following: You type in one word and it looks up tons of keywords You can then look at the competition around such words You can check domains that are available You can sort by profitability You can filter out the keywords that are less profitable The pricing starts at $29 (up to $99), and once you sign up there will be an upsell for a content app, and (BUT WAIT THERE's MORE) there will be one last upsell for a targeting app.  WATCH VIDEO (http://intelliplayer.com/watch/4c989tif9)

I was using Polldaddy to do polls. Its very robust, but if you use the free version you can't export the results. When I found FSQM Pro, it seemed to do everything that poll daddy did, AND it let your export your results. The plugin is pretty easy to use, I made a form, it looks great, and it has tons of options. When I went to export, I could export the questions - not the results. This is handy in the event you made a survey on one website and you wanted to duplicate it on another, but not what I was looking for. For $29 I expected more. Here is a video. It's a great plugin, but for me I think an additional $10 for the exporting option is too much. Their support has me jumping through hoops to get their attention. There is plenty of documentation and videos. Here is a link to a video (http://intelliplayer.com/watch/24531tg9u)

A new episode

(http://weeklywebtools.com/canvakala) is a new plugin that allows you to do serious editing to your images without leaving wordpress. You can add effects like those in instagram, add text, brighten, sharpen, etc. There are even layers like in Photoshop. There are hundreds of images to pick from (you are pulling from sites that have legal images).  As I record this episode its $17 with a promise of the price going up (to what I'm not sure - you know the old internet marketing thing). They do have a link to support which goes to a ticketing system, so without craeting a ticket, they have at least taken a step towards being legit. The plugin looks really cool. Here is the video demo (http://weeklywebtools.com/canvakala) .

I hear about this plugin on my friend  Social Warfare plugin (http://weeklywebtools.com/socialwarfare)  unique in a few ways. (http://weeklywebtools.com/socialwarfare) It only focuses on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and LinkedIn. (but really, do you use others?) You can dictate what image is shared on FaceBook You can completel control what is tweeted out including hastags, mentions, etc The retweet button looks awesome (pull quote) Customize the description and picture of Pinterest. The price is $24/yr for one website.  I have not purchased this plugin yet, but probably will be in the future.  Also, I recently moved Weekly Web Tools to BlueHost just to try them out. I'll keep you posted. For more information visit  Social Warfare  (http://weeklywebtools.com/socialwarfare)

Monarch is a great tool for spreading your message on the Internet via social media. This is from the people at elegant themes.
