Free Mailing List Tool
If you don’t have an eMailed Newsletter for your Business, do you really have a Business?
This is the one I use. I pay a yearly subscription… BUT … if you have a niche market you can get a FREE trial account that does everything! You can use it for as long as you like, as long as you keep the subscribers to under 500 people. So, you could easily cover – all the Kindergartens within a 3 hour drive, every wedding venue or organiser in Sydney, every Booker, Agent, Speaker Bureau, all your past clients etc. You can also have multiple lists or groups within that 500 person limit.
Once your numbers creep up towards 500, you can cull people who never open any newsletter or move to a paid account. Follow the link to see the features and then go to the Pricing Page to find the Free option : )
You can make Signup Forms, Fancy Newsletters and a whole lot more.

Free Planning, Management and List Tool
Trello is a visual work management tool that uses a system of boards, lists, and cards to help organize tasks and projects. It functions like a digital whiteboard with “cards” representing tasks or groups of ideas that can be moved between “lists” to track progress, such as from “To Do” to “In Progress” to “Done”. Users can add details like descriptions, checklists, due dates, and attachments to individual cards and customize their workspace with different backgrounds and features. You can also use different automations if you want to get fancy.
Once again you can get a paid version but the Free version is perfect for me and I use it a lot.
You could create different Boards for – Show packing Lists, Routines, Practice lists, Projects you are working on, Idea lists, Possible Clients/Bookings etc . There are a huge number of YouTube Tutorials on how to use it. It also syncs perfectly between Phone/iPad/Computer, so works well as a note keeping device.
Testimonial Tool
This is really good! Testimonials have been a core of my business growth for 45 years. This is easiest way for anyone to gather social proof, build trust, and display testimonials that drive results, all in one place.
It offers easy ways to collect Testimonials, either written or video, store them and then repurpose them into Graphic, Galleries, Social Media Posts etc with just a couple of clicks.
Here’s a couple of examples …
Once again there is a Free Trial! Try it out and see how powerful it is.

My Preferred Website Host
I run multiple websites for my own business and interests, as well as for Lynda and her Art Business.
Over the years I’ve tried all the major Web Hosts like – Go Daddy & Blue Host. For the last 15 years I have been very happy with this one and would never go anywhere else now. They are fast, relatively cheap in comparison to others, have great support and very powerful security.
Even More Tools
If you visit my ExpertMC.com site I have an even longer list of recommended tools,
including my favourite Website Host and the Tool that helped me get 32,000 subscribers on YouTube.

The Secret Notebook of Mr Hyde Volume 2 – Magazine Memory – One of Mentalism’s Great Effects
The Secret Notebook Volume 2 explores the reputation making Magazine Memory effect. This was my preferred closer on Luxury Cruise Ships for over 25 years!
Performers such as Harry Lorayne, Marc Salem, Alain Nu, Barrie Richardson, Bill Larsen and Bill Tadlock all featured the routine at some time in their acts, yet this is the first book to focus just on this effect since Bernard Zufall wrote his pamphlet about it in 1940.
