Tynt Insight: Auto-Adds Your URL When People Copy Your Content
It’s free. It’s easy. It’s a must.
Tynt Insight is a company I found when searching for WordPress plugins. I was specifically searching for a plugin that automatically adds your URL to the copied content a visitor snatches. (No, I’m not an affiliate, just sharing a great tool.)
I’m all for someone sharing the goods. Some are not, and for you, there are plugins that don’t allow anyone to copy your content. They do this by disabling your visitor’s ability to right click, among other things. But, I’m all about sharing the wealth so feel free to share my content.
100+ Items to Look at When Evaluating Your Website
I couldn’t possibly list them all here… it’s 30 pages worth of high-quality training material! But you’ll want to read this anyway…
- Do you feel like using the Internet to attract leads or increase sales for your business is like a de-motivating game of Chutes and Ladders where it’s always “the other guy” that seems to effortlessly rise to the top?
- Have you been listening to the overnight success stories and realize it’s finally time for you to get involved?
- Maybe you have been using the Internet for years and you’ve simply reached a plateau and can’t seem to find the next step to take your business to new levels.

Download Free Cool Fonts
Maybe your a beginner designer, or you are an author and just came out with an eBook you need a cool cover for. How can you get your design to stand out? I suggest, downloading free fonts – gothic fonts, script fonts, word fonts, handwriting fonts, tattoo fonts – all free for you to download depending on where you go.
I’ve actually researched a bit, where you can go to get free but SAFE fonts. I found a website that I now use exclusively, www.UrbanFonts.com. You can search fonts by category and view the styles without having to go through a ton of hoops. I’ve probably download a few dozen fonts from their site without problem 1.
Step by Step Instructions: How to Take Screenshots and Free Software to Use
Ever want to take a screenshot of an image, logo, computer problem, of good find on the Internet or your computer? There is free easy-to-use software out there that will allow you to do this in 3 simple steps.
- Open the program.
- Click “Capture Now”.
- Select the area you want to capture.
The easiest to use (and install) software I’ve found, that is free, is called Screen Hunter. I personally use this program multiple times a day. Below I have written out step-by-step instructions to find this software, download it, initial setup, and conclude with a training video on how to use the software. Couldn’t be easier….
Jodi Torpey: A Master Gardener, Praised Author and Speaker To Listen To
Jodi Torpey, my #1 HereNextYear client and friend, has been an absolute joy to work with over the past year or more. Jodi is one of those people that works with passion, truly wants to make an impact in the world, and works hard every day to make that happen. With each conversation we have she inspires me.

What does she write about?
New WordPress Plugin, Scribe, Takes Bloggers to New SEO Level
This morning I got my usual ProBlogger blog post email. Inside were details about a new WordPress plugin called “Scribe“, a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) evaluator and booster. After doing research and taking the Scribe plugin tour, I bought it and am testing it out as we speak.
Here’s how it works… Scribe has a killer special right now to get their highest package for only $27 per month (that’s the same price as their smallest package!). You download the plugin, then upload into your website. The beauty of this package is that you can use this plugin on Unlimited websites…Imagine the possibilities. Then, activate the plugin and start a blog post. You’ll notice a new section in your Add Post page called “Scribe Content Optimizer”. As I do certain SEO tasks, I see green checkmarks appear that I am on track to having a highly optimized blog post.
