First and free

Hubspot free crm. The catch is that they lure you in with very decent software and then they want you to pay for mail automation. CRM is good and can be used without mail automation

I'm working on a list of logo creation tools to supplement those on the list already. If you use any logo creation or analysis tools that might be helpful, feel free to add them to this issue.

I can probably find info on the big players, but are there niche press release distribution tools out there? Do any of them actually work?

I included a short list of email list management and sending tools in the first iteration of the marketing checklist, but now I'm looking for suggestions to improve it.

So far the list is just:

• Buttondown
• Constant Contact
• FreshMail
• Mad Mimi
• Mailchimp
• Mailjet

What did I miss? Add your suggestions here so I can update the list of email marketing tools for side projects.

@karllhughes What do you think about extending your checklist with crowdfunding section too?
For me, getting funds for a small project is a headache too

Looking for a list of push notification related providers like the email marketing list.

Might be too simple for some, but Write.as is quick, free (or cheap to upgrade), does custom domains, custom CSS, and it's easy to create a bunch of blogs from one account if you upgrade. It's all we need, so we use it on all our small projects.

Problem

I love the checklist and wanted to print it off to add to my daily habit tracker, but the printable page contained the email list signup which is not ideal for printing in my opinion. I then went through a few hurdles and converted the checklist to a google doc, but that won't stay updated so I don't like it either.

Solution

Add a printing stylesheet that removes the email list and trims down any unnecessary text. I am willing to pull the repo down and do this work, but I wanted to confirm that it's worth doing in your opinion.

After @hengwoon suggested we add a section on live chat, I've been keeping an eye out for alternative tools and services.

So far I have:

• Autopilot
• Chatra
• Crisp.chat
• HelpCrunch
• Intercom
• Reamaze

What else have you tried? Any recommendations?

Several of the blog posts I've put together include lists of products in certain categories. I think these are a great resource for readers, but based on some previous discussion in another thread I think there's more we could do with them.

My initial feature wishlist includes:

• Pricing data (or at least a "lowest tier price") field
• Voting on products
• Allowing users to suggest new products with a simple form field

Anything else I should consider for this feature?

Sorry for making a mess on your issues, Karl.

But this is what is bothering me right now.
I find a section on your checklist related to user acquisition.
But I want more ;) would you interested to chat in this comments? there is no rush, btw, it can wait

A lot of SEO people recommend researching keywords and intentionally creating content that will help you rank for them. I'm compiling a list of these keyword research tools, but so far it's pretty short. If you know of any others, let me know!

One thing that I'm not very experienced in is modern link-building strategies. I added a few that I have seen or heard about, but I'd love to gather some more.

If you have blog posts or resources you'd recommend, I'd be interested in adding them to the checklist. Thanks!

I'd like to add a list of customer/prospect survey tools. I haven't done much of this, but I've heard of some:

• Google Consumer Surveys
• Google Forms
• Wufoo Forms
• SurveyMonkey

I welcome any additional suggestions here.

Based partly on feedback from readers and partly on my own assumptions, I'm thinking about creating a new checklist specifically for sales. Some thoughts/questions:

1. How would you differentiate between sales and marketing? (I think this is a pretty good resource, but what do you think?)

2. What tasks would you say are most crucial to sales?

3. Have you ever tried any unconventional sales tactics that worked?

4. What categories of tools are required for sales? Or is it just your own two feet?

The link in the footer for "Madebyoliver" leads to a 404.

I know there are hundreds if not thousands of free and low-cost options for building landing pages, but I've only tried a few. I'd like to include a more comprehensive list, but so far all I have is:

• Unbounce
• Squarespace
• Rocketpages
• Launchrock
• Github Pages and Jekyll
• Carrd

Please, include your suggestions here so we can add them to the Side Project Landing Page List. Thanks!

A few ideas were mentioned in this PR so I wanted to open a new issue to discuss improvements in voting and the data we include in lists of tools.

Feel free to add ideas here.

There are a lot of lists within this document, but mostly they're not in any sort of order.

This tool will help: http://alphabetizer.flap.tv/

It's in the readme, but it would be good to have in the site as well.

Hi @karllhughes just find this discuss and want to share it with you: https://www.producthunt.com/ask/127-what-s-the-best-business-and-domain-name-generator

Postagon — A minimalist tool, used mainly by individuals and simple product blogs.

I've got a short list on the checklist now, but would like to expand it.

What tools do you use to find or research your competition?
