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.

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

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.
