While looking for a quick and easy online appointment scheduler for a client of mine, Elizabeth Marshall of AuthorTeleseminars.com, I remembered that another client, Sarah Robinson, aka The Maverick Mom, had told me about a cool online scheduler she found and wanted to try out, called Time Driver.
Elizabeth was looking for something that would allow us to actually set the time she was available – opposed to the times she was not available. Let me tell you, not too easy to do with some of the other online schedulers out there. Remembering Sarah’s suggestion a few months back, I decided to give Time Driver a try.
Wowzer! This system was a piece of cake!!! Love it. It allowed me to quickly and easily set up a specific group of times for Elizabeth that she is available for coaching – and then assigns a url for us to use in sending out to her clients for them to schedule. And, they offer a 90-day trial and does not require a credit card. Who does that anymore? Not 30 but 90 days…nice! And, get this. If you like it, after 90 days the cost is only $29.95 for an entire year!
The only thing I found a bit confusing at first was that Time Driver tries to be “smart” and uses the timezone that is set in your computer settings. So for me, as a VA, I wanted to set these times up for Elizabeth as Eastern, but I am in the pacific time zone. Once I figured out how it worked, I simply adjusted the times I entered to be pacific – and made a note to her clients that the times shown on the calendar were specific to those set up in their own computer system.
So far so good. I will continue to use it during the 90 day trial and continue to evaluate. If you use this, I would love to hear your comments and reviews!

I’m in love…and it is with a wordpress theme! I have had a few opportunities to work with one of my terrific clients customizing a wordpress blog using the Thesis theme. All I can say is…this theme is amazing! The possibilities are endless.
The Thesis Theme has the most customizations I have seen in a wordpress theme. And what I love about it most – is that you can customize each site using the Thesis theme and not one of them will look the same…love that! I love that you can take a blog theme and make it look different than another blog that is using the Thesis theme.
Thesis also contains additional options that allow you to fine-tune each page of your blog site. The days of worrying about your SEO are over!
I have already suggested 2 of my other fabulous clients make the switch 🙂
Happy Friday!

Aweber announced yesterday that you have the option to have more CONTROL over the days/times your autoresponders are delivered. How cool is that? It used to be that you were at the mercy of when you lead signed up as to when they would receive your follow up autoresponders.
Now…you can select the days and times that autoresponders go out – therefore avoiding days such as Saturday or Friday night. I love that!!!
Keep it up aWeber…

In the Internet marketing world, one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish is effectively managing your time with your day to day tasks. By using a bit of creativity however, you can use an autoresponder to your advantage and drastically reduce your work load.
There are several ways that you can use an autoresponder to your advantage, resulting in big money and more time for your business so you tend to other things or simply sit back and spend more time with your family.
Here are a few other ways you can make your autoresponders work for you 🙂
- If you lack the room on your site to add your testimonials to your ad copy, you can add them to your autoresponder. If you choose to add them to your responder you should always be sure to include all of them. It will look more professional, and let others know more about your products.
- You can also choose to use your entire website in autoresponder format. Although this may sound silly to some, it’s actually an innovative idea that really works. Not all visitors will have the time to read your website; often times having to leave before they can really read what you have to offer. If you put your website in autoresponder format, you can email bits and pieces from your site to potential customers so they can continue to read when they have time.
- Another innovative way to use your autoresponder is by including your terms and conditions. Often times, potential customers and clients simply don’t have enough time to read through your terms and conditions. The terms and conditions are very important, which is why it never hurts to include them with an email. Your terms and conditions that you email could include the exact copy from your website, or detailed information about your return policies, purchases, refunds, and anything else you think a potential customer would like to know.
There are many other ways that you can use your autoresponder. All you need to do is put a little bit of creativity and thought into it, and you’ll probably find yourself amazed with all the things you can do with autoresponders. They are very popular with Internet marketing and online businesses these days, and for good reason. If you’ve grown tired of having to manage every aspect of your online business – now is the time to invest in an autoresponder. They are user friendly and very affordable – making them something that no business should ever be without.

I have tried several project management systems within the last few years. I had heard of Wrike.com about a year ago, but it wasn’t the right time to swtich 🙂
But now is! I love this cool email feature it has. You can email wrike with your email (including attachments) and it will create a task for you. I love that! Many of my tasks come in from emails from my clients and now – I can simply forward them to wrike and it will add it. LOVE that!
Anyone else using Wrike.com?

I had a chance yesterday and today to really play with the Wishlist Plugin for WordPress. This nifty plugin works with wordpress blogs to manage and allow you to use wordpress as your membership platform.
Now, I have been doing this for several clients using aMember with a blog, but I have to tell you – Wishlist is AMAZING! I love it. The setup proceed does take a few hours – but actually much faster than aMember.
Here are a few features I really liked:
- IP Address limit: How cool, you can limit the unique number of IP addresses that attempt to login with the same user login. This prevents those from passing around their login details.
- There is a login widgit you can use on the homepage of your blog. Very cool.
- Integrates with 1shopping Cart – wohoooo! Anyone wanna try it? Contact me…:)
- Also will allow you to integrate with aWeber.
- A feature inside the blog post that allows you to say whether it is a protected post or not.
- Much more!
Are you using Wishlist? I’d love to know your thoughts!
