Toolbox
The Marketers Tool Box
Are you wondering how the heck to get everything done online, especially if you are new to the online world and marketing? Well rest assured while you do not have to learn everything all at once, there ‘can be’ a lot to learn.
To help out anyone looking to expand their business or learn about online marketing, I have created a page dedicated to the tools and resources I personally use that have brought me to where I am today. Just scroll below to see everything…from what I use to host my sites to where I have my autoresponder, how I get website traffic and how I create some of my images, to name a few that might help you build your business.
Disclosure: Some of the links and/or banners in this post are ‘affiliate links.’ This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission.
I have also included some of the awesome marketers I look up to as mentors/coaches and have helped me in my path to success and you should consider looking into and following as well.
Be sure to leave a comment below on any questions you have about any of these resources!
Let’s do this!!
Domain Name Purchases
If you want to be online you want a website that is tied to you as your home address online that is easier to share in general conversation and/or looks more appealing on a business card. For example it’s a lot easier to tell someone to go to “7MinuteMuscles.com” than to “https://davegardner.nowlifestyle.com/pb/7minutemuscles” when you have having drinks at a bar or posting online!
Web Hosting
The domain name you purchase does you no good by itself. You need a company to provide space to store and host your content. Now while you can use GoDaddy (see above) if you want, I find that they have had some limits to what they offer in regards to your ability to make your site how you want it.
For example you might just want to get your own (ONE) website up and running and be able to start creating a foundation to your business with that, turn it into a blog and be up and running within a couple hours. Be sure to check reviews on support and services offered like cPanel, WordPress and others depending on what your needs are.
GVO/Host Then Profits: I host most of my domains through GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities) with the Titanium Package as I have many domains and websites running, though they have other sized packages as well dependent upon your needs though starting out small with the ability to host a few sites is likely all you need.
Host Monster: This is another service that is very competitive which you can check out to compare and analyze options in regards to available software, services, support and costs.
Email Autoresponder/Email Marketing
This piece of the pie is crucial to go along with an opt in form if you are going to have a list of subscribers to promote your products (or those you are affiliated with) and be able to let them know about updates, training, new launches and much more. I focus on a few which belong to the same parent company though have used others over the years.
Get Response: Had to add this as I am on many marketers lists and see this all the time. I had previously used it as well and was easy to use overall with some experience, though I decided I did not want to have multiple autoresponders. You can try it free for 30 days by clicking the link provided and see if this fits your business or test the others as well and compare them all!
Send Shark: This is the sister company of GVO and has an updated email autoresponder platform. This also has an additional business opportunity attached to it, with a much better compensation plan if you are interested in being a reseller of the tools.
Image creator/Graphic Editing
When you want to save on designer expensive fees (and if you have a little patience) these are some ways you can easily get high quality looking banners and ads made.
Canva: This is a free software (with paid upgrade options) to make images of any size and you can import your own images to edit or create from scratch and is great for making images for social media posts and Youtube Thumbnails!
Ecover Maker: I have used this to create digital product covers for reports, dvd’s, books and more…super cool to use and pretty cheap if you create a bunch over the course of the year. You can try it for free and also order a la carte as well if you think you will only do a couple a year.
Membership Site Software and WordPress Themes
If you want to have a membership site, if you need to drip content or have a place where members can get exclusive access to content then take a look at these three services I currently am a member of and have been using for my sites and products.
Video Hosting
Video Hosting can be both free or paid and you need to be careful when using free services as they often will put ads of competitors right on your videos as well as show recommended videos of other people if you do not set up your account right. I would recommend having a mix between these two.
Website Traffic and Paid advertising
Once you have your website or a program you are going to promote you obviously need eyes on those offers. Getting traffic can come one of two ways which is free organic traffic as well as paid traffic. Keep in mind sometimes with paid traffic you get what you pay for. Be sure to research your providers and see their reviews. Opt-ins do not always mean sales so also be sure to check their conversion rates or how often their leads turn into buyers, but keep in mind someone else’s offer might convert better than yours.
Website Analytics and Tracking
Getting clicks and traffic to your website and/or offers is one thing. Knowing where those clicks are coming from and/or verifying you are getting legitimate clicks is totally another ball game! You having a link tracker and rotator is just one piece of software to help with your ROI in terms if lead generation.
ROI Panel: ROI Panel is the perfect software to track your clicks and links when you are doing any kind of paid advertising. You can also add html code to allow tracking and see who hit that thank you page. Need a team share or split testing option, then the rotator capability will get you squared away quickly.
Google Analytics: Want more in-depth details on where your traffic is coming from to website, how they they stick around and what they are clicking on, then be sure to add this plugin to your blogs ASAP.
Marketers I know, Like and Trust
There is a lot of information out there these days and you might as well listen to those who have tested over and over online. This is just a small representation of some of those I have been following for many years and continue to find value from or use their training to improve my business day after day. Some I have even had the pleasure of meeting, hanging out and learning from in person.

Marketing Incentives

Health/Wellness and Fitness
One of the worse things that happens to most people trying to build a business online is that they do not continue to maintain their health. Long hours sitting at a chair or in front of a computer or on the couch on their phones and tablets leads to weight gain, posture issues and likely sleep problems. I can confirm as I have gone through it all over the years and thus I am also involved in a few opportunities that help alleviate those issues which I would recommend checking out!
