Internet
Marketing Overview |
If you want to begin to understand all the various pieces of
Internet Marketing, I would highly recommend Armand Morrin’s
audio series. You can listen to him explain Internet
Marketing. He has a great formula for autoresponders that
he shares, which I still use today. |
Protege Program |
If you are serious about starting an Internet business, then you
need resources, advice and accountability. The best
protege/coaching program that I know of is Rhea’s Proteges.
You will learn,,, you will be held accountable,,, and you will
have unbelievable opportunities! |
Keyword Research |
Wordtracker |
Wordtracker has been around for quite awhile. It is a good basic
keyword tool. Here is a link for a
free trial. |
Keyword
Secrets
|
What I love best about Keyword Secrets is how easy this tool
is to use! I can get a lot of the same information from
Google but this tool provides a nice and easy file for me. |
Nichebot |
I have been using Nichebot for several years and love the wide
range of searches you can perform. The drawback of
Nichebot is it can be overwhelming to newbies. You can get
$1 trial to check it out.
HINT: Sign up for the $1 trial and watch the videos. You will
learn a lot! |
Website Hosting |
Host Gator |
My favorite hosting company. They have terrific service
and great uptime. If you are starting out, I would go for
the “Baby” package. You get a lot of space and bandwidth
and UNLIMITED number of domains. |
Blue Host |
Blue Host is a good starting place for hosting. If you
aren’t sure how many websites you are going to have, they
provide all you need to start with and more.
(I continue to have an account with them for all my videos.) |
HTML Editors/Web Page Designers |
NVu |
A nice, functional HTML editor – FREE |
Frontpage
|
A great editor with a lot of functionality/Find
It on eBay (This is where I bought a legal version for
around $70-$100) |
Dreamweaver
 |
The pro HTML editor. Only the older MX version is
available on eBay. Since they have very tight software
control, buy through
Adobe Dreamweaver
|
Design Dashboard |
After you learn HTML, and you don’t want to spend time on
web design, I would recommend
Design Dashboard. This software is very easy to learn.
Graphics are included. This software will allow you to
build sites quickly. |
xSite Pro |
Another excellent piece of software for building web sites.
This is more complex than Design Dashboard, but also has a lot
more features. If you are throwing up multiple adsense
sites or types of sites,
xSite Pro will make it a breeze. (There is a learning
curve.) |
Graphic Software |
GIMP |
Free graphics software. Gimp is an open
source software that is packed full of features. The best
feature: Gimp can open psd files!! (PSD files are
generated by Adobe PhotoShop. If you have bought any
templates or graphics you have noticed that they usually contain
psd files. In order to modify them you need Adobe
PhotoShop. Not any more!! Gimp can open psd files
and allows you to manipulate the layers. (for a free video

Screen Capture Video |
CamStudioPro |
The best deal for those wanting to try screen
capture video. This really is a ‘no brainer’! At
this price and functionality, it is a steal! A great tool
to learn on. |
Camtasia |
The best screen capture video software available. This is
the Cadillac of screen capture video. The editing and
producing capabilities are awesome. If you plan to make a
lot of videos, go ahead and invest in this software. |
Google Adwords |
Adwords |
Perry Marshall is an established expert and
reliable resource for Google Adwords. At a minimum, take
his
five day free course. |
Adwords Cash |
I have not read his ebook. I have read several reviews
from trusted sources and they highly recommend his book.
He take you through all the steps. |
Google Adsense |
Adsense Cash |
This book by Joel
Comm is without a doubt, the best source for information on
making money with Google Adsense. Joel is an honest guy
who has been making money with Adsense and shares his secrets in
his book. Just look at the long list of testimonials and you
know you are looking at a winner!! At a minimum, give him you
name and email for a free report. |
| Adsense Signup |
|
Autoresponders |
aWeber |
aWeber
is the best stand alone autoresponder. It is a service
versus a program you load on your server. The owner
focuses on getting emails through to the email clients. I
use aWeber and am quite happy with it! |
Shopping Cart |
This is a ‘total’ solution.
Shopping cart integrates your shopping cart, your
autoresponder and your affiliate program. If you can
afford it and plan on building your Internet business, then
start here. |
