The following are a few resources that I find invaluable in my business. Disclosure: All links are affiliate links and I will earn commissions if you buy the products on this page.

Want to be the first to know when I publish some new resources? Just fill in your email below:

Email Marketing

  • Aweber – This email marketing company makes my life a lot easier. All the optin forms on this site were super easy to make and I didn’t need a developer. Creating lists and auto-responders couldn’t be any easier.

Hosting

  • HostGator – A very high quality host with plans that starts about about $5/month per site.
  • Bluehost – Another very high quality host with affordable plans.

Outsourcing

  • oDesk – This is an amazing resource site for finding contractor talent from around the globe. I use it extensively.

Keyword Research

  • SECockpit – Prior to finding this tool, I used to use Market Samurai. SECockpit is MUCH more expensive, however, it is also MUCH faster and allows me to find keywords extremely easily. This business would be a lot more difficult without SECockpit.
  • Long Tail Pro – If SECockit is too expensive for you, my next best choice is Long Tail Pro as it is a very capable tool. Its just a little slower than SEcockpit because it is not a web-based application like SECockpit is.

Link Building

  • Backlink Battleplan – This is a product from Shane Melaugh, co-founder of SECockpit. As with all of Shane’s products, this product is extremely comprehensive in the are of link building and by purchasing it, you will be arming yourself with all of Shane’s latest (and well tested) theories for link building.
  • The Best Spinner – This is the article spinning software that I use to generate all the articles that I use to get all the backlinks for my niche sites. To use it, all I have to do is write one article and it allows me to spin that one article into dozens of unique articles. Suffice to say, it saves me a TON of time.
  • Instant Article Wizard – This tool makes writing articles incredibly easy. Check out this post to see a video that shows how simple it is.
  • Unique Article Wizard – This is another product that I use to get backlinks. UAW allows me to easily created multiple versions of an article (I used it in conjunction with The Best Spinner) and then it uploads these articles to hundreds of article directories – all automatically.
  • SocialAdr – This is a tool that I use to automate my social bookmarking, which greatly increases the number of backlinks to my niche sites. its very easy to use and saves me a TON of time.
  • My Article Network – This tool is one of the fastest and easiest to use tools for article marketing. It takes about 5 minutes to create a new campaign; especially if you are also using SimplyPLR for pre-spun content.

Training

Niche Site Mastery - I built the website as a training portal for my team of virtual assistants so that they would know how to do every part of the niche site business. Obviously, for new Internet Marketers, having access to this type of information could takes months and months off the learning curve. There are seven modules in the site:

  • Research
  • Content
  • Site
  • Traffic
  • Outsourcing
  • Leverage
  • Forum

You can actually get a free membership to all of the training within Niche Site Mastery by clicking here and following the instructions.

Niche Video Tycoon – This training course was created by my friend Nate Rivers. If you haven’t heard of Nate or this course, be sure to check out my podcast where he was my guest. I was blown away by Nate’s method for building niche sites and since learning of his course, have started to build my own video tycoon sites. I HIGHLY recommend you check it out.

WordPress Plugins

  • WPZonBuilder – This is the best plugin I’ve ever seen (and used) for creating Amazon affiliate sites. It allows me to create gorgeous product posts with a few clicks of the mouse. It also lets me drip posts on the site, or backdate them. Go to the sales page and watch the video and you’ll see how powerful it is. SEO Pressor – This plugin makes optimizing your pages as simple as following a checklist. Great if you use a VA.

WordPress Premium Themes

  • Studiopress - The Genesis Framework empowers you to quickly and easily build incredible websites with WordPress. Whether you’re a novice or advanced developer, Genesis provides the secure and search-engine-optimized foundation that takes WordPress to places you never thought it could go.
  • ProfitsTheme – This is the theme that I use for my membership site. It is absolutely killer and makes it extremely easy for me to create/manage every aspect of my membership site. Watch the sales video and you’ll see what I mean.
  • Thesis – Widely recognized as some of the best WordPress themes available.
  • OptimizePress – Need to make a killer sales or squeeze page? This is THE theme to use.

Domain Registration

  • NameCheap – This is the only site I use for fast and cheap domain name registration.

eBook Cover Creation

  • eBook Cover Wizard – This is the most awesome little graphics creation tool ever if you need to create gorgeous 3d images of your ebook covers. Best of all, its only ten bucks!

Video Hosting

  • Wistia – When it comes to hosting sales videos, I prefer to use Wistia because I want to see the extensive array of analytics that Wistia provides. Without these analytics, I would have no way of knowing how long people are watching my sales videos.
