Internet Marketing software for Mac OS?

mrenish · 11-01-2009, 01:36 AM

I'am a newbiee looking to venture into Internet marketing domain. Before I start marketing online I want to familarize with softwares that are available to make things online easy for IM.

I had a chance to go through some softwares but as I am a Mac user finding it hard to move between windows to load these softwares.

Can anyone suggest me softwares related to IM on Mac platform?

Your best option would be to get Parallels 4 as most progs that are out for IM are done on pc not mac. Hate to break it to you but i am in the same boat as you. I have a mac and have found out that most pieces of software for IM are on PC only so either get yourself bootcamp and install windows on that or parallels 4 and do it that way...

Suggest either waiting for parallels 5 or using Vmware Fusion 3, which just came out.

I just got Fusion 3 and am finding it very convenient to use the windows-based tools.

Two or three days ago someone posted a big list of tools he uses on his OS X IM machine.

So far I found Market Samurai the best on Mac OSX

I suppose my first question would be...What sort of software are you looking to use on your Mac?

I use a Mac every day and - so far - have not encountered any sort of overwhelming need for specialized software to run on it.

Text editors, Site creators, Keyword tools, Word processing -- all have equivalents on the Mac platform.

Which program are you needing that can't be duplicated on the Mac?

If you have windows to install, might I suggest trying virtualbox (virtualbox.org) as a VM system first? I use it and it's fine - saved me the $80 or so on vmware. Annoying as all get out cause the equivalents are free on linux/windows - they're just 'practicing good business' on the mac market, and (imo) gouging them. You might have a specialized need for vmware, but i run win7 just fine in it on my osx snow leopard.
