Note: As of May 2019, Circleboom is no longer offering any follow / unfollow tools, and this article is no longer relevant. However, I have left it up for legacy purposes. My recommended replacement tool for Twitter management is Tweepi.

It’s been a difficult few years for Twitter tools.

With Twitter getting stricter with what functionalities these tools are able to utilize, we’ve seen many of the greats get practically shut down overnight.

Manageflitter. Crowdfire. Statusbrew. All a shell of what they once were.

After all, it looked like Twitter has been looking to get rid of follow / unfollow tools for good. In an effort to combat spammers, even the tools that survived have been subject to strict limits.

One of these tools that still exist today is called Circleboom. I’ve had the opportunity to use it for a couple of months now, migrating after my previous tool (Manageflitter) was rendered practically useless.

Is Circleboom a good Manageflitter alternative, and should you sign up? In this article, we’re going to cover these questions and more.

Update November 2021 – Due to massive price increases, I no longer use HootSuite Pro as my main social media scheduler – opting for Later.com instead.

If you want to scale your business, it’s imperative that you do something that can save you time.

After all, regardless of how hard we work, we only have 24 hours in a day to get things done.

In the past, this meant hiring employees to take on projects for us so we could allocate our resources elsewhere. However, for those of us who work online, we’ve also been granted some amazing tools that can save us hours of time each day – at a much cheaper price as well.

HootSuite Pro is one of those tools.

If you do any social media marketing at all (which you should be if you’re running any sort of business) then read on – the way you manage your social profiles may be about to change forever. Here is my ultimate review for HootSuite Pro.

Note: This plugin seems to no longer be available, but I’ve left this up for historical purposes.

If you want to make more money quickly, you only need to do one of two things.

You need to either expand your reach and increase your traffic, or you need to do more with the traffic you’ve already got.

Now I think it goes without saying that more traffic is always a good thing, but if that traffic isn’t making you any money then it doesn’t help much.

Improving your conversion rate and doing more with the traffic you’ve already got is the best way to develop a profitable system that will serve you well over the long-term. Today, I’d like to share with you a plugin that will help you achieve that.

It’s called CTA Skin.

When it comes to choosing an email marketing service for your business, it almost always comes down to two choices:

“Should I sign up to Aweber or GetResponse?”

The truth is that very few if any other companies come close at all to the extensive number of features and fantastic functionality that these two companies provide with their email marketing services.

However, we all want to get the best bang for our buck, and when it comes to something as important as our email lists, we want to make sure the choice we make is the right one for us. And when two companies are both so fantastic, making that choice can be hard.

In this article, I’d like to explain some of the differences between Aweber and GetResponse, and help you decide which email marketing service is the best choice for you and your business.

I recently stumbled upon a new WordPress plugin called MemberPress that would end up becoming an integral part of my website.

This plugin would not only provide the basis of my future membership website, but is also being currently used to host both of my products – my book, and my video course.

I have spent a lot of time with the plugin so far and while I still have a lot to learn, I know enough to give a fair review of MemberPress.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence with MemberPress or you just want to know more about it, read on. There’s a lot to cover!
