Resources

This is a no-brainer… If you have a business and your business has a website, you need an autoresponder. No question about it.

• Aweber
• Get Response

• BlueHost – Most internet marketers that I have studied from recommend BlueHost.
• HostGator
• GoDaddy – Personally, I use GoDaddy. It’s where I started and it’s what I know.
• Fat Cow – awesome name, nice user interface

Here is a list of some of the affiliate sites and directories for adding income streams to your businesses:

• Amazon
• Commission Junction
• ClickBank
• Click 2 Sell
• LinkShare
• PayDotCom
• The Second Tier

Here are some recommended resources for having others do your work for you:

• Elance
• oDesk
• Outsource Force

Here are some of the POD services that Dr. Tori recommends:

• Cafepress – Easily make your own t-shirts, hats, mugs, and other gifts
• Zazzle – similar to what Cafepress offers, but without the price fixing and has some different merchandise
• LuLu – great for self-publishing books
• Ask PressFoo.com a question about using Cafepress, Zazzle or LuLu
• PressFoo.com – starting and marketing your print-on-demand store

Here’s what I use:

• 1ShoppingCart
• ClickBank

Any digital products that you have must be protected. Otherwise, people will be able to access them through means other than what you intended. Having a script that protects those folders, files, and info is absolutely essential:

• Kajabi – The best membership site stuff out there, without question. Also, it incorporates a lot of social media elements without you having to do a thing. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Check it out.
• WishList Member – Awesome membership plugin for WordPress.
• DL Guard – a little technical, but great customer support who will set it all up for you for a small additional fee.
• Amember
• ClickBank – solves the affiliate program and payment processing for you, too.

• Traffic Geyser – If you publish enough videos, this service is the best thing going. If I had to start over from scratch, this is the first thing I’d purchase after setting up my autoresponder.
• SEO Tool for WordPress – You don’t need to learn SEO if you have this tool. It prompts you for what to tweak and tells you how optimized your page is. Only for WordPress, though.

• The Live Scribe Pen – An amazing tool for several aspects of your business and personal life.
• MacSpeech Scribe – Drop your MP3 file in and out comes text. Pretty sweet – but requires Mac with Snow Leopard or higher.
• Instant Article Wizard – Create articles fast… real fast
• Getting Joint Venture Partners and Affiliates to Promote Your Stuff – this is an expensive course, but JV partners are a way to drive traffic without ever needing the search engines.
