PLUGINS: Unless you are building your website yourself, this term may be unfamiliar to you. If you are building your website yourself, plugins are essential. In another issue, I will go into specific plugins and their benefits, but in a nutshell, plugins are website enhancers that move the site from being just an online brochure to an interactive, lead generating machine. Plugins allow you to insert a pop-up box for subscriptions, import automatic feed from a podcast or newsfeed, or simply include your social media activity inside your website. Many are free.
AUTORESPONDERS: Autoresponders are a must have for your online business. Some are free or free for a limited time but this is NOT something to be without. I use GetResponse because I can seamlessly include landing pages, forms and more. For
example, there is
good chance you
saw a pop-up
subscription form
on the site for this
magazine. If you
want to get the
next issue, you
would need to
complete that FREE
subscription sign
up. The GR
autoresponder will
automate future
delivery of issues.
EASY!
