You know, there are just so many times when Jacob and I are working on marketing campaigns when we wish there was an automated tool to help us do this or that.
Thankfully, Jacob and I have been able to find a tool or make one that does what we need. Here a couple of the top tools we use. Some are free and some are not but regardless of price, these tools will save you tons of time. Time... you know, that one resource you can't buy more of (oh wait, resveratrol?)... 
- SpeedPPC - This is one tool Jacob and I used a lot. In fact, MOST of the campaigns we have made this year have been built using this. It just saves so much time and take your campaign quality scores to another level.
- Workspace Macro Pro - This is a great tool where you can create macros and have them repeated over and over automatically. For this, you essentially record yourself doing a set of actions and can play it back whenever. Can save a ton of time for repetitive tasks.
- Adwords Editor - If you're not using Adwords editor to edit your campaigns, you can be wasting a lot of time. This and other desktop tools are really useful at increasing efficiency.
- Xobni - Xobni is a tool I use every single day of the week, 365 days a year. It's an outlook plugin that I seriously can't live without. It indexes emails for extremely quick searching, links email to linked in profiles, facebook, etc. This way you can see a face with each email if they have a profile. It shows the persons telephone number if they have ever sent it to you via email, etc. If you have a lot of emails, this is a great tool to have.
- iPhone... Nuff said.
Really, there are probably hundreds of tools out there that could probably replicate or do something similar to the tools above. Those are just the ones I have found to work best for me.
In a small business environment, it's easy for us to do the long repetitive tasks over and over and feel good about us having worked for 8 hours straight on getting that campaign up. If there is a way to automate it and it costs $500 bucks, we shy away from it because we want to save money. In all honesty, you can make a lot more by being more efficient and working on multiple things.
There are also some tools I did not mention simply due to their nature. I put them in my "do not share" folder. You can find them around if you search for a need you have when creating campaigns.
There is also Elance. Elance is a great place to find programmers who are willing to code projects for you cheaply and efficiently. If you find a tool that might help you out, think about having it created.
After all, we only have so much time!
I love the Xobni , Great Tool !

Darn.
Good tool list, thanks for sharing.
Hehe thanks.
I have never heard of these tools before, maybe because they are not free ones. I prefer to use free tools then paid ones.
oDesk.com is a better outsourcing tool than elance. You can hire by the hour and see screenshots every 10 minutes while your workers are on the clock.
Started a new Twitter hashtag, of course I’m the only one who seems to have used it right now: #imreference
Share your tool ideas on Twitter so everyone can see it. Just put #imreference and then name what Internet Marketing tool you use.
Nice post none-the-less Jonathan. Good luck with the upcoming wedding man. Don’t forget some footage for all of us who can’t attend.
One tool I have recently discovered is needanarticle.com
I used to waste SO MUCH time looking for good writers. Now I just post an opportunity, and it’s gobbled up quickly. Seriously, I’ve had loads of articles written, and have modified maybe a couple of sentences at most from the finished products!
Sup Jon,
These tools are all really good, especially Adwords Editor. But what about tracking202?!?
If God were a free keyword conversion tracking tool, that would be it.
I loved Xobni and used it for awhile last year, but it didn’t work well with Business Contact Manager. I contacted them and seems like it will work with BCM now, so using it once again.
Xobni- i’ll need to check that out
SpeedPPC – I know man, it’s so fast to create create full campaigns in a half hour instead of hours
Iphone – checking how much money i earned online n on the go, never gets old
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

These look like tools I’ll have to advance towards in the future. Right now, since I’m still starting out, I’m trying to spend as little money as possible.
when I’m more seeasoned, or at least know I’m making the right moves, I’ll start paying for tools such as these.
they do look really useful, though…
we kill it with speedppc too. willl have to check out some of the others suggested.
