How do I open the file?

When you press download in an email from me, it normally saves to your Downloads folder.

So go there first to find the file.

I normally have to ZIP the file so it will work with SaaS automation systems.

So get WinZip, WinRAR, or use whatever Mac/PC offers these days. Unzip the file (Right click and press “uncompress” etc). If you don’t know how to do this, then use Google.

Once you uncompress, the ZIP file will remain, and you will see a new file (sort the download folder by date modified if confused).

I assure you that everything I provide works, so if you can’t access it, it’s a ‘you’ problem.

Can I sell / share your tools?

No.

You can share a link to this page, which would be much appreciated!

Can I share your tools on social media?

Please share the link to this page. It would be super-appreciated, but only if you like it!

If you don’t like it, then leave a comment or shoot me an email first so I can take your feedback on board first and see if I can improve!
