ConvertBox is a conversion optimization tool that empowers you to engage and convert your website visitors using personalized opt-in forms, surveys, and calls-to-action. It’s more than just a form builder though. With it’s integrations and conditional logic, you can easily create targeted campaigns that resonate with your audience.

Segment your visitors based on their behavior, preferences, and interests to deliver tailored offers from your website. You can even include or exclude pages or posts based on your specific conditions. The intuitive drag-and-drop builder and robust targeting options make it simple to create dynamic and eye-catching campaigns.

ConvertBox seamlessly integrates with popular email marketing platforms and affiliate networks, ensuring a smooth workflow. I like how you can group similar campaigns together, enable and disable and schedule start and end times so you all your campaigns on time and finish on time.

Namecheap is an ICANN accredited domain registrar that has been around since 2001. This is our favorite place to register and renew domain names for our clients. (Especially since Google Domains was acquired by SquareSpace in 2023 and the prices jumped.)

One of the biggest advantages is their clear and affordable pricing. Namecheap offers some of the lowest prices in the industry, making it an ideal choice for individuals and businesses on a budget.

At the time of this writing, .com renewals are $13.98/year. (See link below for discount on your first year.)

Additionally, Namecheap provides a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to manage your domain names, and they offer 24/7 customer support via Live Chat or through their ticketing system if you need assistance.

Another great feature of Namecheap is their free domain name privacy protection service. This service ensures that your personal information, such as your name, address, and email, is not publicly listed in the Whois database. This can help prevent spam and unwanted solicitation emails. Other registrars will charge extra for this service.

They also offer value-added services, such as website hosting, simple logo design and business cards, although we only use the domain registration services at Keith Dream.

Namecheap often has discount codes and periodic deals to help you get started. Just note that your price at registration will be cheaper than your renewal price. That said, their annual rates are reasonable compared to other registrars.

If you’re ready to register or transfer your domain name with Namecheap, use our referral link to get a special deal.

Namecheap offers more than just domain registrations.

WordPress managed hosting. The majority of the sites we build and look after on care plans are hosted on our WPMUDEV servers. We use WPMUDEV for all types of websites from single page “portfolio” websites to bigger membership and online course websites. They offer plans for any website size and performance requirement and you can easily scale up or down as your needs change.

Support goes above and beyond to help with all of your website based needs and they are staffed with actual experienced engineers that can help with just about any issue you might run into.

The Hub is their version of a control panel and you manage all of your sites for a central location, including accessing tools and logs for troubleshooting.

WPMUDEV is the creator of the very popular WP Smush Pro image compression plugin, along with others such as HummingBird Pro (caching/speed), Defender Pro (security/malware scans), Forminator Pro (form builder) and SmartCrawl Pro (SEO).

WordPress managed hosting. Our clients use FlyWheel for its easy to use setup and dashboard. Performance is great for most moderately sized websites and the server seems to run itself.

In our experience, if you require really heavy server resources such as busy memberships or eCommerce sites (online shops), we would recommend a mid to high tier hosting plan. We can help you choose the right hosting service for your needs.

WordPress managed hosting. We use Kinsta and recommend them especially for high performance, membership and learning websites. Support is amazing and it is easy for web developers/agencies to manage for the client. They are among the higher priced hosting services, but the time and effort saved with these pros is worth the investment.

This AI app can integrate with and join your online calls in Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams and creates the following for free after each meeting:

• a transcript
• a video recording
• AI summary
• Slack and Salesforce integration
• Auto-join meetings

You can install the app (which I recommend) or use the browser extension (required from Google Meet).

With the premium version, you get a variety of summaries based on the type of meeting. For example, the summary for a meeting with a client may be focused on next actions, while a discovery call summary will be focused on potential client needs.

Notable services included in the premium version include:

• Auto-Generate Action Items
• Automate sending Fathom content to almost any app via Zapier integration
• Advanced AI Summaries

I have found this to be an excellent tool to help me review meetings and it has certainly helped me create valuable project briefs and task lists based on the AI summaries and action items.

With Fathom on the call, I can focus on listening and participating fully in the conversation while knowing I won’t miss out on any key details. There’s a cool feature that allows you to click the “Needs Review” or “Feedback” buttons to create a timestamp so you can come back to review important parts of the conversation afterward.

Lastly, I really like how it shows you real time for what percentage of the call you are talking. It can be a good reminder to take a break and listen more often!
