Author’s note:
Assuming you own a website, you should be aware of how important AB testing is. This time it’s available for mobile applications – perfect for improving your app.
3. Onalytica
Find Influencers With Your Content
“Brands create a lot of content and post it on their owned media channels be it their website, blog or content hub. This is great but often it does not cut through all the noise out there to drive real impact with your target audience.
Knowing the most relevant digital influencers for your content gives you a competitive advantage to influence their sizeable networks. You can share your content with them safe in the knowledge that they are posting very similar content and are therefore more likely to share your content with their social media following.
Onalytica matches the proportional usage of nouns in your content against an aggregate of what an influencer has posted on Twitter over the past 12 months to return the most relevant influencers. This will identify many more relevant influencers than keyword searching across social media listening tools.”
Author’s note:
Influencer reach outs are one of the most popular forms of content marketing available. With Onalytica you can promote your content with the help of carefully picked influencers, but you may also use them as experts in your future posts.
4. Instapage
Create a Landing Page in Just 3 Minutes.
“You’re Only 4 Steps Away from Higher Conversions. From choosing a template to tracking your success, we keep things simple.
Build- Within minutes, you can build complex layouts with our drag and drop interface without touching a single line of code.
Integrate – We provide seamless integration with CRM, email marketing, social, and optimization tools with no programming required.
Deploy – Instapage lets you build and publish landing pages that work exactly like they’re part of your website.
Improve – Our A/B testing tool lets you track visitor behavior, compare conversion rates, and pick the best-performing landing page.”
Author’s note:
Instapage is a fascinating landing page creator that allows you to quickly set up a landing page for your product or promotional content such as ebook or white papers. Smooth, slick, and attractive in design.
5. Exit Monitor
Turn Your Abandoning Visitors Into Customers
“When a visitor lands on your website, Exit Monitor begins tracking that visitor’s mouse movement and velocity to determine their exact position on your page.
Our custom-built visitor behavior learning algorithm and exit intent technology allow Exit Monitor to determine the exact millisecond a visitor leaves your page.
Once an exit intent has been triggered, Exit Monitor displays a targeted offer to your visitor. This gives you the ability to either capture a new lead or gain a sale.
Exit Monitor gives you the ability to drive more revenue to your business by leveraging customer data to capture more leads and turn visitors into paying customers.”
Author’s note:
There is nothing worse than bringing a lot of traffic to your website only to see it bounce, hard. Exit Monitor helps you convert some of the visitors with an exit-intent into sign-ups or whatever another conversion goal you want. A pretty good alternative to worn-out staples.
6. Sigstr
Smart Marketing through Email Signatures
“Sigstr ensures that company branding is consistent, and the most relevant campaign is highlighted in every email sent.
Sigstr makes adding campaigns to your employees’ email signatures simple. After the initial setup, signature campaigns update automatically across your entire organization anytime a new campaign is activated.
Updating employee signatures is notoriously time-consuming and unpredictable. Sigstr provides companies with a powerful tool to maintain consistent branding, manage contact information and ensure compliance.”
Author’s note:
Put your coworkers’ emails to use. Personal emails are most trusted and you can leverage that fact in your marketing activities. A well-composed e-mail signature will increase brand awareness and might be a starting point in your conversion funnel.
7. Narrow
Grow Your Twitter Following
“Narrow helps you build a targeted Twitter following by making it effortless for you to interact with users who are likely interested in your product, service, cause or business. It’s quick and easy to use.
Simply enter keywords or hashtags and we’ll identify a relevant audience for you and start building your following.”
Author’s note:
Twitter is one of the major promotional networks, if not the biggest one. Promoting your content and brand is not easy with a small group of followers, and growing it takes a lot of time.
This is where Narrow steps in – with a targeted audience, your content and brand message will be more visible than ever.
8. Quuu

“See how it works… In 3 simple steps

9. LeadIN
EMAIL INTRODUCTIONS. REIMAGINED.
“Automate your personalized double opt-in intros, so you respect everyone’s time, including your own.
Monitor the status of your intros, so you don’t waste time searching through your inbox. Get automatic follow-ups to better understand how your intros have helped.”
Author’s note:
If you have a large network of connections but you do not have the time to benefit from it when preparing marketing campaigns or blog posts, use LeadIN to introduce your contacts to your co-workers or colleagues who can lead the project for you. Useful for any managers.
10. Trim
Not all the subscriptions on your credit card bill should be there.
“Register your primary credit cards. We use bank-level security to keep your information safe.
Our algorithms scan your transaction history to find recurring payments you could be saving money on.
We ask you for permission to cancel or find discounts on those payments. Then we do the work for you.”
Author’s note:
A marketer’s / growth hacker’s life is a life full of subscriptions. Sometimes they are draining our budget even though we happen to use them less than we should. Trim is the perfect option to weed out needless subscriptions and save some buck.
“Hey, I’m paying for that?”
11. Clearbit Connect
Give your inbox super powers
“Find out who’s behind an Email – Connect displays information on the person and company behind an email. Immediately uncover social handles, titles, company size, funding, and more.
Fresh Intel – Our data is never more than 30 days old, so you’ll never have to worry about stale data again.
Data from the Source – We search over 200 data sources for every contact, so you get the most comprehensive profile available.”
Author’s note:
Rapportive’s causing. If you know that addon, you should know Clearbit – it’s Rapportive on steroids. Learn everything about your contacts right from your inbox – useful if during a huge outreach you forgot someone’s data.
12. Medium Editor
The dead simple inline editor toolbar.
Author’s note:
Rather simple tool – if you are a fan of a Medium style editor, this is a script you can install for free to get an inline editor like that. Handy, cool, awesome.
13. Throttle
Control who can send you email.
“Spam, newsletters, coupons… it never ends. But what if it could? The problem is every time you give out your email address online, it’s like giving out the key to your house. They can put anything in your inbox they want, and often they sell your address to others who do the same.
9 out of 10 emails people mark as “spam” are ones they once subscribed to.
Some we subscribed to but never read because it interrupts our work and clutters our inbox, some we get after a purchase made online, and some after a company sold our email address.
Right now, you have no way to control who can access your inbox. The best you can do is request to be unsubscribed. But it’s your inbox. You should have the home-field advantage.”
Author’s note:
A newsletter slave no more. Managing all subscriptions is rather arduous, that is why trottle helps us with our mailings and arranges them in a digestible form. Useful for anyone who is swamped with emails in their inbox.
14. Wootric
Win customers for life.
“Runs inside your web and native mobile apps – Still doing NPS by email? Wootric’s surveys run inside your Web and native iOS/Android mobile apps for off-the-charts response rates and statistical rigor.
Aligns your teams around customer happiness – Run “A/B happiness” tests for product feedback, reduce churn for customer success, and identify and activate promoters in marketing.

Author’s note:
Businesses run on customer happiness – no one wants to be hated like one of the telecom companies from the States. Wootric is a remarkable tool for measuring your NPS and managing customer feedback and impressions.

Author’s note:
Incredibly useful when launching new projects, for example, side-products that will aid your marketing initiative. Market analysis and competitor overview made it easy for everyone arming themselves with a plan for the future of their product.

18. Crazy Egg Session Recording
Don’t just analyze user behavior. Understand it.

Navigating in Google Analytics is a pain. Everyone knows it. Audience data is in one tab while behavior data is on another page. In Picnic Metrics, it’s simple: everything is in one place.”
Author’s note:
Metrics are difficult to understand, especially for novice marketers. Even if you do get them, it is difficult to explain them to the rest of your team. Instead of educating them on “guys, this is how to understand what I’m talking about”, Picnic transforms data from your webpage into a digestible form.
