Internet Marketing Tools (FREE) – The Top 12 (Part 2)

In my last post, I shared with you the first part of the top 12 Internet marketing tools I use in my business.

In this post, let’s finish where we left off from the first post and give you the second part of the top 12 Internet marketing tools.

Stock Xchng

This is a great resource where you can obtain free graphics to use in your website/blog. Though the image resolution for the graphics is limited (meaning if you’re looking for high resolution images you may have a problem getting them here), you have to keep in mind that it’s free.

Fortunately, if you need graphics only for web purposes without actually printing them, this is an excellent place to grab your free graphics.

Almost all the images I’ve used in this blog are taken from here.

VLC Media Player

This is an awesome player that plays all kind of media files. Want to play mp3s and flv files? No problem. Want to play other audio and video formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, or MPEG-1? This player can play it all.

No more downloading and installing multiple video programs just to be able to watch the different video files on your PC. No more headaches!

Just get VLC Media Player and you’re all set.

FileZilla

This useful piece of software allows you to upload, download, and transfer files to and from your PC and your server (hosting).

FileZilla is pretty easy to use and its menu is intuitive, making it relatively easy to use. Even if you’re a beginner trying to use this software, you should be able to get yourself up and running fast.

DownThemAll

DownThemAll is a Firefox plugin that downloads all your files in one, easy-to-read and easy-to-manage location.

In addition, with this plugin you’ll be able to increase your download speed. According to DownThemAll, this software can increase your download speed at up to 400%.

Last but not least, you can also pause and resume downloads with the simple click of a button.

I hope by now you see how powerful Firefox is, and the almost infinite number of plugins available, all aiming to make our lives easier and get things done faster in a more efficient manner.

Still not using Firefox as your default browser? You SHOULD NOW.

Skype

This is a free chat program, much like Yahoo Messenger and MSN Messenger. You can chat via instant text messaging and Skype phone.

When you have a lot of things you want to convey to your business partners or team members, and you want to communicate to them FAST, then you can use Skype phone to call them on their PCs (free), or call their landlines (for a low tariff).

Furthermore, for an affordable fee, you can also get a landline number. When people call this number, they’ll be directed to your Skype account.

With Skye, communication becomes EASY and fast.

Copyscape

Copyscape is an online tool designed to check if your website content has been illegally copied or plagiarized by unscrupulous people.

How can you use this in your online business?

Let me give you one good example.

Suppose you outsource article writing to freelancers. After you’ve got your articles from them, upload your articles to your server. Then go to Copyscape and check to see if there are any duplicate results. If there are, chances are that your freelance writer is plagiarizing other people’s content, which is NOT good.

So there it is the top 12 FREE Internet marketing tools that I use in my business. Thanks to these tools, I’ve been able to save a lot of time and effort. I really can’t imagine running my business without these tools.
