Dreamweaver Tutorials

Dreamweaver Help, FAQ, and User Forums

 

FTP Resources

My Preferred FTP Client is AceFTP Pro. It's cheap and does not have all the annoying quirks that the free versions have.

 

Shopping Carts
Begin with a PayPal shopping cart. Once you are making several sales per day, here is my suggestion:

Hosting
For your first site, nothing beats HostGator for cost and service.

http://www.hostgator.com

 

Domain Registration
GoDaddy is the worlds largest registrar and where I register my domains.

$7.49.com sale at GoDaddy.com 336x280

 

Build Your List
I use aWeber as my autoresponder service.

Article Submission Tool
Jet Spinner is Free. The one-time offer with it is for Jet Submitter. I use Jet Submitter and LOVE it! I can easily submit my spun articles to hundreds of directories with just a few clicks!

Your Own Personal Transcriber
CopyTalk is so COOL! I simply call them on my cell phone, dictate an article or email to them, and they transcribe
it and email it to me the same day! They have a $1 trial too!

My AdWords Mentor
Without Perry, I'd still be losing money with Adwords Advertising.

Check Your Back Links
(Note: Neither of these methods show all the links. Yahoo does a better job however.)

Yahoo Back links

In Google, type this into a search using your domain:

link: www.yoursite.com

 

Check For Duplicate Content

http://www.CopyScape.com

Checking a URL is free. However, the premium version allows you to paste in your text without publishing the content. This is very handy and costs only 5 cents per search.

 

Working With Images/Banners
Photoshop or Photoshop Elements allow you to work with images

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Plus -

In the interest of full disclosure, you should know that I do suggest products on this site for which I am an affiliate for (I receive a commission if you buy them). HOWEVER, always remember that I NEVER suggest a product unless I use it myself and approve of it 100%. All the products and services I suggest are ones I also use in my own business.
