Jigsaw Box – is a fabulous tool for sharing your training program, coaching, mentoring, or even what you deliver as an ebook.
Here's my review of Jigsaw Box
You can create modules that you then can mix and match to formulate packages that you sell.
and watch this demo in which I take an article plus a video and make a teaching module out of it.…
Unbelievably, this is only $67/month for unlimited clients, unlimited packages. AND you get a 2–week free trial.

Other tools
CopyTalk – record 4–mminute audios which get transcribed. This was one of Gina's favs but is probably not something she'll use with the new pen available.
HootSuite – helps you manage Twitter so you can see your replies, DMs, stream all on one screen.
Dial2Do – by phone you can do all sorts of things like check the weather, read and reply to your email and tweets, and more. It's FREE.
Instant Teleseminar – offer teleseminars and webinars that become evergreen (they never come down) products.
