Internet Marketing Weekly Roundup http://imweeklyroundup.com A weekly look at free resources to help you in your business Wed, 25 Jan 2012 17:48:09 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Getting Social http://imweeklyroundup.com/p/getting-social http://imweeklyroundup.com/p/getting-social#comments Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:57:04 +0000 IMWR http://imweeklyroundup.com/?p=506 Social marketing is on the rise. From Facebook to Twitter to the network du jour, connecting with others helps you in many more ways than just finding customers. Letting your site visitors know where they can find you on various social networks is extremely important—and now you can do it with style!

Iconshock sells professional stock icons for websites, with over 1,000,000 images available in 260+ sets, and they’re offering their Social Icons Set completely free. 150+ sites, 9 sizes, multiple formats and styles…even a Christmas version is included in this set (with more holidays to follow).

No one really needs a favicon for their website. A favicon is the little icon you see to the left of a website  address in the location bar of your browser; your browser will display a default image if your site doesn’t supply a favicon.

However, you should consider adding a favicon to your site, since visitors who bookmark your site will see the icon saved with the bookmark. This makes your site stand out in their bookmarks and makes it more likely to be visited. Dynamic Drive’s FavIcon Generator makes it easy to create a favicon from an image you supply. Or use favicon.cc to create a favicon completely from scratch.

InternetSeer is a website monitoring service that checks your site every hour and sends email alerts when it’s down.

The standard plan is free and monitors one domain, with weekly performance reports and immediate notification of a website outage. Don’t let your site go down without notice!

In fact, it’s the easiest way to profit online—hands-down. Using the methods outlined in Write That Report!, you can learn a quick-and-easy method for creating high-quality reports in no time—and how to build an army of affiliates to sell it for you.

Once you’ve let the methods in $7 Secrets settle into your mind, it’s time to actually create the info product you’re going to offer. This low-cost, step-by-step formula isn’t the only way, but it is the fastest route to get started as an information publisher.

Jonathan Leger has a proven track record for producing low-cost, information-packed reports and you can be sure that the $7 you spend on this report will be well worth it.

I’ve found yet another.

With 500 styles available, XHeader lets you create amazing header graphics in minutes—with no previous knowledge of graphic design. 50 styles are yours with the free trial, the remainder are unlocked when you register (also free). Now you have no reason to have a boring website!

Max Banner Ads PRO usually sells for $47, but you can get it for free. The catch that you have to write a review of it on your blog, but, hey, you generate content for your website and score a cool plugin. And if you miss the offer, the non-pro version is still available for free.

How about you? If you need articles written and you can’t do it yourself, you’ll need to pay someone to write them for you… unless you want them for free.

An interesting twist on PLR (Private Label Rights) comes to us in the form of 3LR — Limited Label License Rights. Here are quality articles you can put your name on; all you have to do to freely use them is keep intact the single link they contain.

Many websites publish information through RSS feeds: information streams that you can subscribe to and have the latest news delivered automatically in one place. You’ll save loads of time!

To access feeds, you need a feed reader, which will allow you to read them much like you read email. NewsGator offers readers for Windows, Macintosh, and iPhones—all of which sync with Google Reader (a web-based reader) and all for free!

Oh, you don’t know where to start? You don’t know how to design a site?

One of the quickest ways to put up a website (once you’ve purchased a domain and arranged for hosting, of course) is to install WordPress. It needn’t be difficult; if your hosting company offers cPanel to manage your site, the software is easily installed by using the Fantastico installer. And you’ll find that the recent release of version 3 is very easy to use to keep your site up-to-date.
