Welcome to another edition of Growth Bites. Today we’re talking about my favorite WordPress Plugins.

Show Notes:

• One of my favorite app is the free Sumo Me app created by my buddy Noah Kagan of AppSumo. Sumo Me helps collect emails, put together a pop-up, record data over time and export list. [00:21]
• Sumo Me also allows your audience to highlight and Tweet directly from your pot so they don’t have to go through any extra steps. There’s also a new social sharing feature and new developments to check out. [00:51]
• I’ve found WordPress SEO by Yoast it’s the best SEO plugin by far. It connects with your webmaster tools and offers no index pages and redirects without having to have your developer come in to make changes. [1:41]
• Blogging Checklist is a good plugin to create static checklist for your post pages. This is really helpful if you use multiple writers on board and need a checklist to make sure they’re following your criteria and requirements. [2:19]
• Pretty Link helps you cloak your links or make them simplier. For example, www.levelingup.com/podcast isn’t actually a link I created, it’s just a pretty link used to redirect to my iTunes page to subscribe to my podcast. [3:04]
•  Blubrry PowerPress plugin simplifies the podcast process and automatically puts on play button. [4:13]
•  I use Gravity Forms for both Growth Everywhere and my company Single Grain to help capture leads through different forms. It also integrates with Zapier to connect with each other or can send it to your sales team that’s hanging out on HipChat. [4:40]
• Maintainn is a solid plugin for ongoing WordPress support. Maintaainn costs $99 a month and will monitor your website and installations to make sure everything is okay, do new installs and look for anything malicious going on in your website. [6:06]
