Six Sites for Productivity, Speed, and Awesomeness
I just got back from an awesome Internet Marketing seminar in Austin, TX and I’m heading to another one this weekend in San Diego.
(if you’re in San Diego this weekend leave me a comment below… I may do an unofficial free one hour “in the lobby” client getting mini seminar)
Speaking of Internet if you have an idea for a fitness info product like an ebook, DVD, CD, or membership site then check out Fitness Info Summit.
And speaking of Internet…
It’s amazing the things you’ll find online that will help you get more organized, productive, and efficient.
Here are six killer online tools that help me give me the cutting edge and help me get a crap load done.
1. Google desktop side bar: This is one of the BEST tools for keeping links, notes, passwords, and to do lists and stuff that you need at your finger tips handy. It just hangs out on the side of your screen waiting to make your life easier.
2. Web Site Grader: If you want to know how your website compares against your competitors and how well its optimized for search engines then you gotta try this free service. (plus you can get all the stats on your competitors.)
3. Pandora: If music helps you get in the zone then you’re going to love this site. Basically you can choose an artist or song and it will start playing songs that are similar to that song and or artist. But here’s where it gets REALLY good. Each song played has a little thumbs up/down icon that allows you to rate the songs and that helps drill the music down to EXACTLY the kind you like.
4. Amazon Android Product Finder: Okay, if you buy a ton of books or whatever on Amazon then you’re going to love this. You just download this app to your phone and start snapping pics and bar codes of books and stuff and it will find it on Amazon for cheaper.
5. Mind Jet: If you have ever had an idea that you wanted to dump out on paper this is the app to get. It’s one of the best and EASIEST mind mapping tools ever. Really helps me go from idea to final product faster than ever.
6. Life Hacker: If you’re really into productivity and funky apps that do about anything you can imagine then this site is for you.
What sites, applications or tools do you use that I missed? Let me know below.

Would love to attend a mini seminar here in San Diego…
Bedros,
I love this crap!
Here’s more I found useful.. I don’t seem to sleep at night and I use my Iphone for everything.
NOZBE.com.. If you like GTD (Getting Things Done) this is awesome. You can print out your Next Actions, it’s web based.. love it…
Box.net.. allows you to collaborate MindMaps online and then upload on Iphone or allow others to collaborate with you by web..
BlogPress.com allows you to easily upload and get things to blog fast by phone, web, etc..
Photobucket.com.. stores all of your photos online, and also gives you the HTML codes for all the Facebook, emails, websites..
Evernote.com another web based application based on GTD. Allows you to take voice notes, written notes, pictures, etc.. stores everything and gets it organized. Again,use on the computer or Iphone.
HiTech.. yeah, pretty cool site… I got Free Boot Camp Rent for the next 12 months because of HiTech… Can we get an Iphone app for HiTech??

Hey Bedros,
Thanks for the sites, those will be helpful. I use pandora all the time and I love it, because it gets me pumped up and in the right mindset. I live in San Diego, so hit me up if you have a seminar.
Thanks,
Israel
Cool Sites there Bedros.
Not sure about including Pendora though. I have enough distractions to begin with.
You never stop kicking ass with your ideas!
Thanks brother!

Which marketing event were you attending big guy?
We sell out of the Fitness Info Summit? I’m predicting it’ll be sold out within the next two weeks tops!
You owe me a cold one (maybe a few) if I’m right.

Yess, I’ll make sure to get down to San Diego - sounds awesome!
Not only for the mini-seminar - but it’s also where we first met…so romantic!

I use CentralDesktop.com to work with online project collaboration & sharing with my VA’s & instructors. Microsoft MESH is also a good one (and is Free)
OneNote is a notebbook set up which helps me track everything!
And of course my white board when I am actually in my office. I try to keep it simple
I like the mind jet tool. I love Pandora too. Use it all the time, in the car, at the gym, best app going in my mind.
You are such a help with our industry…..

Jeff Osborne @ 11:29 pm
Hey Bedros,
Love your stuff man! All your tips and info has helped my websites get tonns of traffic. In Australia we now rank higher than all our competitors!

I haven’t tried Pandora but I think I will check it out. Like music going but get tired of the same stuff all the time.
I also like http://www.myvolo.com for online scheduling and billing software to keep track of everything going on with my clients, schedules and running all my billing.
