Top Online Business and Marketing Tools

So many "Online Gurus" put together lists of top online business and marketing tools, even though they haven't ever used them.

Not me!

This is my personal rolodex of resources that I use in my own business... I'll continue to add more resources and tools as my rolodex continues to expand.

If you have any questions or comments about the resources below or you'd like to make a suggestion for a resource that I haven't included here, just let me know.

My Top Tool

Site Build It! (commonly called SBI) - If you can only afford to purchase one tool for starting your online business, this is the one I recommend hands down.

Why? Because I can almost 100% guarantee that you will be successful in your online venture if you follow the step-by-step plan that Site Build It! provides...

And I don't make that claim lightly.

I still own the website that I build with SBI when they first developed their product many years ago and it still generates a strong five figure income for me with very little attention on my part. In other words, I rarely do anything with the site and it still generates a great income month after month after month... that's the power of SBI!

It's a process that works with a complete set of integrated tools that seemlessly make it happen behind the scenes... whether you're just starting out or already have an online business... it just plain works. In fact... this website that you're at right now is an SBI website!

The folks over at SBI do a much better job explaining their product, how it works, and what you can expect, so I highly encourage you to take a look at them before you do anything else. Site Build It! gets my all time HIGHEST Recommendation.

Beginner/Intermediate Marketing Courses

"The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet" - This is the first individual internet marketing course that I bought over eight years ago... and it just keeps getting better every time it's revised. The original course was created by marketing guru Corey Rudl (who died in a tragic accident a couple of years ago), but now his business partner Derek Gehl has taken up the reigns and made the course even more comprehensive and informative.

It doesn't matter if you're just starting out in your online business or if you're a seasoned online professional, I guarantee that you'll find tons of information you can use in "The Insider Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet." It gets my highest recommendation!

Advanced Marketing Courses

Affiliate Classroom - Whether you're new to the idea of affiliate marketing or you've been making money with affiliate programs for awhile, you'll definitely find some great tips and tricks at Affiliate Classroom. Not only that, but they also offer you step-by-step tutorials in both basic and advanced affiliate marketing strategies so that you can take your affiliate revenue to the next level. You can get an idea about the quality you can expect from Affiliate Classroom by taking a look at their free newsletter here. They are the leader in affiliate marketing and I highly recommend them.

The Amazing Article Formula - My amazingly simple, step-by-step exclusive formula is unlike anything you've ever seen... Now you can write high demand articles starting today... Even if you're a total beginner, or if you can't write worth squat. This course will show you the nuts and bolts of how to write a wildly successful article and propel your article marketing to the next level.

Business Services/Tools

Article Marketer - If you write articles as part of your website marketing plan (and you should), then you have to distribute them to as many publishers as possible... That's where Article Marketer comes in. They will distribute your articles to thousands of publishers in a wide range of categories with one simple push of a button. It's completely on autopilot... in fact, you can even schedule several articles to go out at different times in the future and Article Marketer will take care of it all for you. It's a great service!

AWeber - Autoresponders are a great way to follow up with customers, capture contact information, distribute ebooks, and automate email courses. There are lots of different autoresponder services available, but the one I've always used in AWeber. I've stuck with them all these years because they are reliable and they continue to add new functionality to keep up with internet technology and capabilities. If you're interested in seeing how autoresponders work for yourself, you can subscribe to any one of my free courses, subscribe to Answers eMagazine, or test drive them with the form to the left.
