UBot Studio 5: Watch This.

UBot Studio 5 is almost out. I’ve saved the announcements for what I think are some of the coolest features for last. Here’s one:

While we love the ability to drag-and-drop elements inside your browser into the script window, automatically creating an a “click” command, or a “type text” command, and something like over 100,000 bots have been built like that, we know sometimes it would be easier to just click the links, type the text, and have the bot built automatically for you.

Watch this: 

“The Good ol’ Days”

Some people say it was better back in the old days. “People had manners!” “Summers weren’t so hot!” “UBot had sockets!”

Thanks to popular demand, we’ve brought back this advanced feature from UBot Studio 3.5 for UBot Studio 5.

Here’s why: After asking just a few users how sockets would help them, I got this answer:“I can scrape 1000 results from Google, Yahoo and Bing in about 20 seconds …And I never seem to get cut off.”

Using the socket container command is like opening a new browser window, except there’s no visual representation–it’s pure text. It’s like connecting directly to The Matrix. There’s a way to do this in UBot Studio inside of a hidden browser window, but that often uses extra resources. While using sockets isn’t for everyone, and is definitely an advanced tool, you should consider them for some applications because

1. Sockets are lightweight. 
2. They are extremely fast.
3. You can scale them up a lot. 

You can multithread more easily, complete more tasks at once, and generally build more powerful tools that are as effective as anything a programmer could create. It’s not exactly the same feature from UBot Studio 3.5–we’ve made it more stable. But be warned — it takes a bit more programming knowledge. You’ll want to use this one with caution.

Hope you enjoy.

With UBot Studio 5, Fight Back Against Big Data

On the internet, there’s 500,000,000,000 GB of data. When you distill down the data you need, chances are that it won’t fit into a CSV.

But somewhere in that data is the secret of the universe, and also, every dollar you’ll ever make online. See, databases are boring in the same way that sports statistics are boring. But what they represent is amazing. Facebook and Google became internet giants by dissecting, digesting, and dominating incomprehensible amounts of data.

To truly take advantage of how much incredible free information there is, and even to manage your own data, you’re going to need to be smart and use every tool available to your advantage. To compare customers, the products they bought, and purchase dates, or websites you own and keywords you’re trying to rank for, or competitor URLs, pricing, and scan dates, you’re going to have to go beyond the Excel spreadsheet. For instant data connectivity, for updates that you can see immediately on a server, for running comparisons of tables together, and for uncovering the secrets inside all that data, you’re going to have to become a data guru.

And for that, a SQL database is like a magic wand.

When you wave it in the right pattern, gold comes out.

We got several requests for additional SQL server interactivity beyond the MySQL that’s already in UBot Studio, so we’ll be adding SQL Server and SQLite to UBot Studio 5.

Hope you enjoy.

UBot Studio 5: So Easy You Can Use It In Your Sleep

A while ago I had a poll on our forum. I asked what features our users would like to see added to UBot Studio. Not only did a built-in scheduling system win handily, but people were VERY excited about it – of all the features, “the most important is the scheduler” and “Every bot user likes a scheduling system in their bot,” said to longtime customers.

We thought this might happen, because one of the keys to automation is being able to use what you build anytime–weekly, daily, 3am, whatever works best. Of course, while it’s nice to be able for your scripts to run anytime, we also thought it would be great if anyone who uses your programs can schedule bots as well. So in the new UBot Studio 5, you’ll be able to schedule your programs — or commands within those programs — to run any time, or to recur, AND if you simply turn on the scheduling feature before compiling a script, anyone you send it to will also be able to use it on their own, customized schedule.

Scheduling your bots to run will now be as simple as choosing a time on a built-in calendar!

We’ve been working hard to make sure that UBot Studio 5 is the most advanced, and easiest to use automation software on the market – and we’ve been hearing positive things about what we’re adding. We’ve still got several features left to reveal. You’re going to love them!

The Secret to Building an Online Business

We put together an infographic about online entrepreneurs here on our blog about a month ago. When Entrepreneur.com picked it up, everyone from Virgin to The US Chamber of Commerce linked back to it. We’ve even been asked to translate it into other languages!

Thousands of people liked it, shared it, tweeted it, etc, which sends a clear message: Becoming an online entrepreneur is a popular goal, and the number who are attempting it continues to grow.

Of course you know this — that’s why you’ve already taken the step of purchasing UBot Studio! There’s just no quicker way to build an online business than automating your marketing ideas and building software out of them that you can sell.

While we prepare for the upcoming release of UBot Studio 5, I just wanted to say how excited and pleased we were that so many others share our vision for online success. We didn’t expect to strike a nerve, but apparently we did.

But then, that’s why we’re in this business – to help you build the best online business that you can. UBot Studio is still a bit of a secret, even though we continue to expand.

So right now, if you’re reading this, you should consider yourself lucky – you’re one of the smart ones who “got in before everyone else!”

Good luck in your continued success as an E-preneur. Here’s the link to the infographic on our blog one more time, in case you haven’t checked it out!
