Must Have Buisness Tools
I would like to share some great handy tools you may want to use for your business. These will help you save time and money.
- Organizers You will want to stay organized so you can access important information quickly. If you are spending several minutes several times a day looking for information you have stored on your computer it can really add up.
InfoMagic
InfoMagic is one of the best organizers I have ever seen. It is fasting loading and allows you to set up different categories for storing your information. Within those categories you can create more specific pages to help you quickly find your information.
For example, you might have a category for Advertising. Under this category, you might have sub categories of traffic Exchanges, Classifieds, and Safelists.
In the traffic Exchanges, you might want to store all of the information for the exchanges you use; login IDs, surf links, referral links, etc.

- Office Products
If you would like to have office products on your computer such as Microsoft Office, but don't have it yet, you don't need to spend the big bucks for it. There is a free program called Open Office. It is basically the same thing as MS Office; it has a spread sheet, database, word processor and more, but it's f.ree. You can get that at:

- Business Cards
Everyone in business needs business cards. Did you know you can get them free online? All you pay for is shipping and they are yours. Get your free business cards from Vista Print:

- Mail Washer
When you do business on the Internet, you can expect to get more than your share of emails. Many of these will be sp@m from people who came across you email address somewhere. You need a good program to sort these out. Mail Washer is great for this. It will download your emails for viewing without putting them on your computer. You can use it to blacklist email addresses and people, as well as filter out certain words.

- Instant Messaging
If you like to be available to people online, consider using an instant messaging system. While they can be distracting while you are trying to work, many people find them helpful to their online business. These are free and easily found. You can get one from Yahoo and Msn. Just go to one of those sites to get set up.
- Ad Wizard
If you place classified ads or ads on safelists, you will want to get this little gem. It will store the URL to the site and go there for you. Once you are there, you press a button and it will place your ad for you. You program it to save those ads, including subject, title and any other info it needs, then it walks right through for you. You can put in as many sites and ads as you like.

Sometimes the URL you are trying to put into a classified ad, safelist, email or is just too long. There is way to fix that. You can go to http://TinyURL.com and put that URL in. It will give you back a short URL that goes to the same place as your original URL. This is also good for hiding referral IDs from referral id thieves. It's free.
