I came across an excellent resource providing information on 100 different online resources and tools for freelancers.

I wanted to internalize the information in a way that I could rapidly work with in multiple settings in the future if I ever needed to find the right tool for the job. So of course I mindmapped out the tools listed, plus I added in the tools suggested in the comments and I added a bunch of my own.

Now I have a great starting point for the future whenever I need to build up the list or find something I need quickly. I linked back to the original article from my MindMap Central topic and I created sub maps for each of the categories identified. This kept each category of items viewable at a single glance.

I’ve provided snapshots of these maps below. For more details about each of the tools I suggest a quick visit over to the site yourself as it really does have a great deal of information.

In the meantime, I did this experiment in part to internalize the info as I mentioned, but also in part to find a more rapid way of mindmapping this type of information from primary sources on the web. I hope to find more efficient ways to achieve this goal in the future.

Pulling in leads off the internet and turning them into sales is no easy task if you do not have the right technology.  More often than not this technology is sold at an enterprise level and is cooked into a server solution that drives the cost up into the 5 digit price range.

AIM Promote is one of our newest sponsors.  They offer a full service functionality with a price level charged at a per user basis of just $33 per user.  Their lead management is setup in a package that does not give their customers less functionality for a lower price.  Instead it gives full functionality for the same price and then leverages that against the number of users that a customer needs to equip.  At a price of $33 per user, that price point is very affordable and the functionality they provide is comparatively very high.
