End of Year Product Reviews

Well, it's the end of the year and this is my last newsletter
for 2009. Like many of you, I am eager to see this year end, and
I wish I could help push it out the door so 2010 and all of its
goodness could come rushing in. I have never been so happy to see
a year end, and it is indeed a cause for celebration!

I wanted to leave you with three reviews of three products that
recently crossed my desk. Some are free, and some you have to
buy, but all will help you with your online marketing efforts.

The first is a service from a friend called KnowEm. With this
service you can immediately search to see if your personal name,
product name or company name -- your brand -- is taken or
available across hundreds of social networks. Why is this
important to you? Well, there's a lot of unscrupulous identity
thieves out there, and you need to be careful. Part of this
service is free and the other part is a paid service but well worth
your consideration. Check out the review here:

The second product is a free software tool that enables you to
add video to your web site in a very cool and Web 2.0 kind of way
without any skills required. The free version is for
non-commercial use and a low cost version for business use is
also available. Learn more and see demos here:

The final product is a new collection of Photoshop Action
Scripts that offers 50 very unusual product image templates,
2 video tutorials, a collection of 2000 sales graphics plus 40
different professionally designed cover templates. If you create
your own products or create images for others, this is one of the
best deals I have seen in a long time. Hint: don't click their
buy link -- try to exit from the sales page and it will make you
a counter-offer for $30.00 less -- a steal! More info here:

OK, I hope you find these mini reviews helpful. Until the new
year (next week!), I wish you everything good in life -- happiness,
love, peace, health, prosperity, and clarity of vision.

All my best,

Steven
