Magic Combinations
Normally I would recommend taking each free trial one after the other in order to get the most benefit. However I realize that some of these offers might end soon – and not everyone has enough time to fully experiment with each. As a result I will propose a few combinations that can give you some great results and best bang for your buck (which is to say a whole lot of bang and no buck at all)
Ultimate Keyword Targeting
Trials: SEM Rush or Wordtracker & SEOMoz
This combination is great for businesses who are just launching their sites. You can use SEM Rush or Wordtracker to discover new keywords you should be targeting – and then use SEOMoz’s keyword difficulty tool to prioritize and decide which ones to go after first.
The Primate Delight
Trials: Constant Contact or Mail Chimp & Survey Monkey (both primate named services offer free options – but not technically trials)
Create your own surveys using Constant Contact or Survey Monkey and then use Mail Chimp to send the survey links in an email blast to your customers for tons of free data (make sure you offer something in return like a discount or chance to win a prize)
Free Adwords Credits & Click Tale
Take advantage of the extra traffic gained from free PPC credits to increase the amount of data you get from ClickTale. *Note – ClickTale puts a limit on the number of pageviews offered in its free trial – however with a little negotiating you might be able to pull off a couple days of unlimited pageviews for free (we did!).
There are tons of other free trials out there too –
Unbounce
HubSpot
Viralheat
Wordstream
Visual Website Optimizer
Streamsend
Optimizely
User Voice
IContact
Vertical Response
Trackur
Vmix
…and the list could go on and on
I just want to call attention to the fact that I am not encouraging you to simply take these free trials and bolt. I have personally tried each of these services and am a paid subscriber to a few as well. All of these products and services are extremely valuable to your online marketing efforts and are well worth the money charged. Please show some support to these awesome companies who are confident enough in their products to offer free trials to (hopefully appreciative) marketing professionals like you and me. Great job guys…keep it up!
