5 Resources, 5 Tags
August 1st, 2007 by Cristina Favreau
Can you imagine? I’ve been tagged again. This time by Denise Willms of WAHM-Articles.com, where I’m resident Coaching Expert and author.
I like this tag, because I get to share 5 links. They can be business links, favorite sites, affiliate links, whatever…
However, instead of using this as a post for a few shameless plugs, as most others have, I’m using this opportunity to share super-useful links to sites I think you’ll love (well, I do).
There are Five Rules:
- MUST be clean. No R rated sites.
- Only FIVE links.
- MUST tell 5 people.
- A link back to the person who tagged you
- Lara’s Place is the meme originator
So, here are my 5 links:
- Advanced Marketing Institute: Headline Analyzer — This is such a cool tool and I use it almost daily. I use this site to create titles for blog posts and articles. Oh yeah, and it’s free.
- I’m InTouch (aff): Remote access software — When running my VA business, I used I’m InTouch en masse to access my home office PC when working on site. Easy to install and use. Their customer service is amazing. Try the fully functioning free trial and you’ll see why I think it’s so great. If you like it, it’s $135/year or $13.50/month.
- Project Honey Pot: Avoid Spambots — This links you directly to a page showing you how to avoid email harvesting. What’s best is that all the info and tools are free.
- Visual Thesaurus: Interactive dictionary and thesaurus — Warning: This program is highly addictive. To try it once is to be hooked for life!! This is the coolest program ever. I use it MANY times a day to help me brainstorm and generate new words when writing. This is a paid service, but it’s well worth the $20/year. Go to the Home page to test it out.
- HitTail: Discover search hits and keywords — HitTail reveals, in real time, which keywords people use to find your website. I use the Basic plan (it’s free) for my blog. It’s so neat to see what keywords people use to find my blog.
Alright, it’s my turn to tag (I hope they don’t hate me for this):
- A.C. Riley, my fave copywriter
- Linda Dessau, awesome editor
- Alicia M. Forest, the no-nonsense and super-friendly info products guru
- Jenn Givler, my inspiration and biggest blog fan
- Matt Huggins, internet entrepreneur and blogger whom I highly resonate with
Whew! That was a lot of work, but I had fun. I hope it was worth it, and you find these links to be helpful.
What link did you like best? Had you been tagged, what would you have put as your 5 links? Do you participate in tags? Why/Why not?
[...] Christina Favreau, The Savvy Entrepreneur, shared five links after being tagged by someone else. I know this is called a "meme" but I have avoided using that word to date, because I wasn’t sure what it meant or the proper way to use it. People close to me know that I’m "the word lady" so I have just looked it up on Wikipedia, which says that: Generally speaking, an Internet meme is any faddish popular phenomenon on the Internet. The term may refer to the content itself, the subject of the content, or the phenomenon of its spread. It is discrete, identifiable content as opposed to more general things like a philosophy or a trend. It is spread voluntarily, rather than by trickery, compulsion, predetermined path, or completely automated means. Some people liken Internet memes to a form of art, and digital art on the net to a form of meme. An Internet meme may stay the same over time or it may mutate over time, by chance or by the aggregation of commentary, alternate and parody versions, and news about the meme. [...]
[...] As promised last time, today I’m going to share five links. I learned about this meme (that’s 2) from Cristina Favreau, and I’m going to follow her lead and post links to five sites that I find useful in my work. [...]
