For the last few months I've been trying to figure out the "best" way to automate as much as possible.

The problem is, each of us have different skills and budgets. So I want this system to work for most of us. It's not perfect, but it takes into consideration things like easy to learn, low cost, etc.

I've tried 6+ different macro programs. Too much of a learning curve for our purpose. By the time you learn how to use the macro program, you probably could have done the work "by hand".

I've tried Pete's programs for creating accounts. They are too undependable.

SENuke is too expensive, at $100 per month.

Here's what you'll need for this system:
1. Multiple clipboard utility. If you have one, use your's. If you don't know what they are, use and REALLY LEARN this one:

There's a free trial for "200 uses". Be prepared to pay $20 for it.

2. Directory Submitter - I bought rights for it...Download it FREE from the "Downloads" thread.

3. Google email "verifier" program. These will log into a gmail account, open all your email, and click the "verification" links automatically for you. Of course, you can do this "by hand", but for those that would rather pay for a program there are options.

It's essential that you really learn each of these programs.

Our goal is to be able to quickly and easily be able to create VARIOUS accounts for VARIOUS services as quickly and efficiently as possible.

For example, you want to create blogs on third party sites, or create accounts for bookmarking, or video submission accounts, etc.

We want to make this as fast and painless as possible, without a huge learning curve.

Directory Submitter can do a lot of this for us, but it's not perfect. I'll post lists of services that you can easily add to Directory Submitter in the future so you can semi-automate signing up for various types of resources.

This will extend the power of Directory Submitter from being used to submit your URLs to various directories, to helping you create blog accounts, bookmarking accounts, etc.
