Repetitive emails, email signatures and repeated visits to the same website oh my! Know the feeling? There’s a tool I use that can help with all of the above. It’s called Active Words.
Active Words:
Active Words is a small software which resides in the background, and is activated when you type in your “Active Word”. You can do many things with it: substitute text, navigate to a website or open specific folders. You simply tell Active Words what to recognize, and in a few keystrokes, it does all the work for you. Here’s what I use it for frequently:
- Navigating to my Wordpress Admin or “Add Post” page so I can quickly and easily accomplish tasks
- Open a folder I use almost all day
- Email signatures: I use Gmail (& Google Apps) for email, and I can’t get the email signature to work the way I want it to (I have three, so it’s a little tricky). So, I have an Active Word for each signature.
- Launching programs I use over and over
There’s so many uses for this little program, but I think what’s best about it is I get some time back!

Great post! I agree, ActiveWords is a great solution for webpreneurs. Also, I’ll like to add, I’ve noticed a people are starting to use video email I found this out on http://www.24conference.com. I think I may give ActiveWords a try.
