Deliver Smarter Autoresponders on Days and Times You Choose

Author: admin  //  Category: Smart Business Computing

 

A New Way to Deliver Autoresponders

Ever wondered: “what’s the ‘best’ day and time to send an email?”

If so, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most popular questions about email marketing.

There’s just one problem:

The Answer Isn’t The Same For Everyone - Or Every Message!

> The best day for you might not be the best day for the next guy.
> The best day changes from month to month and from report to report
> The best time can be different for subscribers in different parts of the world.
> Not all messages necessarily “work” on the same day or at the same time.

To create a better-timed autoresponder campaign, you need smarter autoresponders - ones that know what times are (and are not) OK to deliver themselves.

And Now They’re Here http://smartautoresponder.aweber.com

Everything You Need to Know to Turn Raw Digital Footage into High Quality Film.

Author: admin  //  Category: smart computing

 

Apple’s iMovie ‘09 is more accessible and comprehensive than iMovie ‘08-and impressive right out of the box. The one thing not in the box is a user’s guide, and that’s where this book comes in. You’ll make the most out of the applications if you get help from the experts. iMovie ‘09 and iDVD: The Missing Manual explains everything you need to know to turn raw digital footage into high quality film.

You get crystal-clear, jargon-free explanations of iMovie’s new video effects, slow & fast motion, advanced drag & drop, video stabilization, and more. Author and New York Times tech columnist David Pogue uses an objective lens to scrutinize every step of process, including how to:

# Organize your videos just like your photos, and precisely edit with ease
# Work on multiple iMovie projects at once and drag & drop clips among them
# Integrate with other iLife programs to use songs, photos, and an original sound track
# Output your creation to a blog, its own web page, or as a video podcast with iWeb
# Understand basic film techniques to improve the quality of the video you bring to iMovie

From choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the finished work onto DVDs, posting it online, or creating versions for iPod and iPhone, iMovie ‘09 & iDVD: The Missing Manual helps you zoom right in on the details.

New Site Review: Traffic Python

Author: admin  //  Category: Smart Business Computing

Traffic Python video

 

Traffic Python is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost.  So I decided to put it to the test…

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel.  It is easy to read and understand.  Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

 

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up & running in less than 5 minutes.  Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Python” links.  You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Python Ad Generator, which is very easy to use.  You can create as many links and as many ads as you like.  And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference.  Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login.  Very smart!

After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic.  Just use and promote the new Python link instead of the original source link you had.  Every time the Python link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom.  It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Python.  So if anyone clicks the Python image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral.  It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Python links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked.  So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into Python (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Python image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks.  And this works up to 5 levels deep.  So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to TTraffic Python also.

I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed.  Python even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays.  That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing.  You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Python really shines.  They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline.  But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again.  Now THAT’s cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Traffic Python.  It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises.  Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.
