3. Forget Email – Offline AutoResponders Is Where It’s At In 2010…

Our latest iPhone Application is now live in the Apple iTunes App Store – it’s a project we did with the author of the New York Times Bestseller, ‘The Game’ – Neil Strauss (alias Style) who was named the World’s Greatest Pick Up Artist.

StyleLife is the first iPhone app from Neils academy for dating, pick-up and attraction – StyleLife Academy.

We’ve assembled some of the most successful openers, pebbles and attraction lines in this ’swipe-file’ style iPhone Application.

Simply open the app in a bar, club or mall and you are presented a selection of great PUA style openers that you can use in your approach… You no longer have to do what Neil once did when he was learning the game- pulling out bits of folded up notepaper in the club.

In version 1.0 of the StyleLife App, along with all the swipe file content, you can have the opener appear on your phone as a ‘Fake SMS’, so if you’re out sarging by yourself, you can approach someone and start a conversation by asking for ‘help responding to the sms’… Plus, there is a series of video tips direct from Neil Strauss himself, to help you refine your game.

We’ve also got some really cool functionality planned for future updates including; global voting on the best lines, ability to add your own openers to the database, along with the ability to update/purchase additional openers direct from Neil and the team.

3. Building On Other People’s Ideas

Firstly, my good pal Brent Hodgson has seen the light and made the jump from PC to Mac. (come to think of it Brent ‘kinda’ looks a little like the MAC guy).

Secondly, I’ve implemented a few changes in the way I manage my time and the way I get things done… which has resulted in some amazing results… and these changes have primarily come from threes sources: David Allen’s book ‘Getting Things Done’, Eben Pagan’s ‘Wake up Productive‘ Course and the book ‘Power Of Full Engagement’

And thirdly it’s largely thanks to some MAC software I am using to implement the ‘lessons and actions’ drawn from the above resources, that’s resulted in my ability to get more done, and I wanted to share some those Mac programs with everyone.

So here is my list of the top productivity tools and Mac Software for getting things done.

1.MailTags

Apple’s Mail application offers some pretty powerful tools for organizing your email, but it could do so much more….

Que Drumroll.

And thanks to indev software’s MailTags, it does. MailTags is a plug-in for MacMail that lets users attach metadata (multiple tags) to messages, which can be anything you want: Your own custom keywords, project names, or anything else you can think of to help organize your email and your life… I use tags such as @reply @discuss @phone @pay @dispatch, to donate the action I need to do regarding the particular email.

…and if you want to add notes to an email, that’s not a problem. MailTags adds a notes field to each message which I find invaluable, and those notes can even replace the subject line in the summary section of Mail..

Once you start adding your own tags to messages, you’ll want to take advantage of Mail’s Smart Mailbox feature. The keyword data MailTags adds to your messages is fully searchable, so it’s easy to create smart-mailboxes that automatically fill with just the messages you need… For example you can create a ‘@Phone’ mailbox (or simply use the search function) to only include/show the emails that require a follow-up phone call allowing you to dedicate uniterupted blocks of time to particular actions.

You can even set priorities for messages, and even set due dates for responding (which appear in iCal and your iPhone as To Do items ). This can be really helpful when you get a message you don’t want to reply to right away, but you know you need to handle by, say, next Tuesday.

All in all, it’s been such a powerful tool for getting my inbox organized and under control.

You can find MailTags at http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html

2. AudioBook Format on iTunes & iPods

Cookies are to the CookieMonster, what AudioBooks are to Me… Even to the point, where Fleur (my girlfriend who doesn’t have an entrepreneurial bone in her body) is ‘forced’ to fall asleep a couple of nights a week to some type of business recording or podcast.

And something I have been doing at lately, is listening to my audiobooks at double speed… I can get through content in half the time without any loss in comprehension – Studies show the average person speaks 125-150 words per minute yet you can comprehend up to 600 + words per-minute.

I do a lot of my listening to business audio visa my iPod, which has the feature of playing audiobooks at a ‘faster speed‘

The catch is that you can only increase the speed of audiobooks, and until recently it was almost impossible to convert a standard mp3 audio file or ‘music track’ to an audiobook inside iTunes.

But, with the release of iTunes 8 you can now quickly and easily tag any file in your iTunes library as an audiobook and move it into the Audiobooks section of iTunes and your iPod.

Just right-click a track and select Get Info, head to the Options tab, and then select Audiobook from the Media Kind drop-down menu. The file will instantly leave your Music library and head straight for your Audiobook library, where you can listen at twice the speed. The only remaining step is to tick the Remember Position checkbox if you haven’t already, and your tracks should now have easily found their way to your Audiobooks section, and even better, they should work like an audiobook.

As a side note, if anyone knows of a program, or wants to create a program, for the mac that will replicate http://www.fasteraudio.com/vip/index.php please let me know.

3. Evernote

It took me awhile to really ‘GET’ the benefits of Evernote, but now I am experiencing the same feeling that Britney Spears would be… “what the hell was I thinking”

Evernote boasts a variety of features that make it a super-cool application, including automatic synchronization between your computer, the web and your other devices such as iPhones, tagging and sorting features, an online client that makes it accessible from anywhere via the web, and a search feature that can even search text stored within images.

The one thing that I have found Evernote great for is an always-accessible idea file… As ‘LifeHacker’ points out “It can be hard to think of new ideas constantly, and when you do come up with one, it tends to happen in a very strange, awkward spot. Evernote means that you’ll almost never be caught without a way to capture it and compile an idea file – once that list starts filling up you’ll never be short on something to write about.”

And it’s because of Evernote I have really been able to start pumping out blog posts again… Ever time I get an idea for a post, I simply create a new ‘note’ inside Evernote and then as inspiration hits (no matter where I am) I can add to the notes stored inside Evernote – via my laptop, and internet cafe or iPhone.

You can find Evernote at http://evernote.com/

4. Things

Things is a task management applications based on the Getting Things Done process created by David Allen.

I am in the process of putting together a longer blog post on the ‘GTD’ process, which will be up in a day or two…

… but for now, the main premise of GTD and Things, is organizing all the ‘tasks’ that need to ‘actioned’ in order to complete a project.

The software has been built entirely around the GTD model and has an ‘inbox’ where you can do regular brain dumps of everything you need to do… You can then organize and sort these actions into their relevant project.

And give these ‘actions’ a context in the same manner as mentioned in MailTags: @Phone for a phone call action, @Online for a action I need the internet for, @Pay for an action that requires me to pay something etc etc etc

This then allows you to focus solely on the ‘next action’ that you must do to move your project forward… and it’s the focus on ‘cumulative actions‘ rather then ‘goals’ and the ability to easily focus solid blocks of time on a particular context, that has really changed my approach to time management.

You can find Things at: http://www.culturedcode.com/things/

5. QuickSilver

Now Quicksilver is something I haven’t quite mastered (or really looked into yet), but it’s a tool that is very widely spoken about and used… so I thought I should atleast mention it here.

I should really read Merlin Manns guide ‘Quicksilver: Grab a copy and play along at home‘ but if I can’t listen to it as an audiobook at 2x speed I won’t get to it soon.

Can someone please ‘pitch’ this too me and tell me why I should be using Quicksilver.

And while you’re at it… What other Mac Software do you use to ‘Get Things Done’ & Be More Productive?”

Now, the thing I didn’t test before putting it all together is if it would work when you embed the video on a blog etc… Well the result is a big fat NO.

I tried to embed the video here for you to watch, but the annotations didn’t appear… which sucks more then Amy Wino-house.

Anyway, check out the video directly on YouTube here – http://youtube.com/watch?v=vdHgC4Ek7rI

It was all about the blogging platform Wordpress, which is what this site/blog is built on. Now, I am not a coder by any means so a lot of the content went well over my head, but one particular presentation by ProBlogger Darren Rowse was right up my alley – Making Money With Wordpress.

Alister’s presentation was again, a little over my head, but his passion and goal to evangelise the sandbox theme for wordpress is very captivating.

Ok, so today we are here to talk about the wonderful world of Facebook Pages.

Facebook Pages are one of the newest features the team over in Palo Alto, Calif. have recently launched, along side Social Ads and Facebook Beacon (more to come).

So What Exactly is a Facebook Page ?

A Facebook Page is simply a modified facebook profile designed purely for businesses, bands, no-profits or even celebrities to interact with their ‘fans’.

Other Facebook users can express their support by adding themselves as a fan, as opposed to becoming a ‘friend’.

Basically, on the surface it appears no different to a typical profile, which is why it’s been launched without much fan-fare (pardon the bad punn) from the blogosphere… but from a marketing perspective it’s a whole lot more powerful.

Here’s why…

1. You Can Send Updates To Your Fans Regularly

See, unlike facebook profiles where it can be a royal pain in the rear trying to community with all your friends at once, sending ‘email’ blasts to all your fans is a breeze.

Having a tonne of fans, is exactly the same as having a traditional email database you do blasts too… But inside Faceboook there is no spam or no junk mail to contend with and with internet users opting for communication services like facebook over hotmail and traditional email its where the web is headed people.

In the current landscape of the web, deliverability is one of the biggest issues facing marketers.. but here inside Facebook it’s not an issue at all – your messages go straight to their facebook-inbox and their news feed (I think)

2. You Can Add STUFF to your Facebook Page

Just like a facebook profile, but in a much ‘cleaner’ way, you can engage/interact with your fans via videos, reviews, flash content, and much more.

For example, one of the biggest Facebooks Pages to date is that of the great band – The Dave Matthews Band – where they have added a tonne of this cool STUFF to their page… such as a discography, a bunch of pics, and online music player plus an online shop where fans can buy sh*t.

Ed Dale has done this really well on his Facebook Profile aswell – Here he has added a small number of videos, a few disucssion topics for his fans to gather and communicate (it’s basically a mini-social-network) plus he has already started to use the point above to communicate to his already 991+ fans.

3. Your Fans Love You, and their friends will know it too.

When your fans interact with your Facebook Page, the actions they take are automatically generated into social stories and added to thier News Feed, which their friends will see the next time they log into Facebook.

So when they become a fan, it’s link back to their Facebook profiles news feed, which in turn virally invites more people to interact with your page, which generates more social stories and drives even more traffic to your Page – it’s viral marketing on steroids.

As they say “Think of it as word-of-mouth marketing, only completely free and happening online.”

4. Link It All Together With Social Ads

Some of the feedback I’ve got from my original post on Facebooks social ads, was on the fact that Facebook will not allow you to send traffic to a squeeze page… and savvy marketers kept asking ‘what’s the point if I can’t capture names for a database’ – Well this is the answer…

Send them to a Facebook page about you particular niche topic and encourage them to become fans with videos and content (described in section 2). This way, their whole experience is inside Facebook, they will feel more comfortable and thus increase your conversion rates…

Here’s The Plug: As I meantioned the other day, Ed Dale and the crew at the Immediate Edge are creating a stella ‘how to’ course on using Facebook for internet marketing… and releasing the content for FREE to Immediate Edge members. They actually just realeased the first two videos of the series today and I must tell you it’s going to be amazing. Now, I haven’t spoken to Ed in the last day or so, so I don’t know what the course will cost when it’s actually launched to the general internet marketing community, but if Ed’s recent Dominiche course is anything to go by, the $97 to get into the Immediate Edge is an absolute bargin and you’d be mad not to join today.

P.S. Ed just released a short video on his Tubby Nerd blog you may be interested in – Check it out here.

P.P.S. If for some reason you are still not convinced joining the Edge is going to help you make bazillions online, i’ve got permission from Dan and Ed to create an ‘exclusive inside video tour’ of the Edge which I will post on the blog in a few days… Make sure you subscribe to the RSS Feed so you don’t miss that one.

P.P.P.S. Before you rush off to join the Edge, you may want to check out my “currently lame” Facebook Page and become a fan here… Please excuse the WannaBe America’s Next Top Model photo – I blame Fleur.
