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.

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 Purchase

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!

GoDaddy: I have purchased all of my domains through them...too many that I might be a domain addict! We are talking custom names that are easier to grab peoples attention. If you can, be sure to grab YOURNAME.com (unfortunately I have a very common name) or something very similar to this.

NameCheap: While I have not used this domain name and hosting seller it is a top competitor and has options from $0.99 domains to VPN services needed to help get your business up and running.

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.

NameCheap: Also offers Hosting in addition to domain names and starts with low price shared hosting (many websites on the same IP address) or you can try out higher levels as well. Feel free to contact support to see what would work best for your business and goals.

Host Monster: This is another service that is very competitive with the previous two 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.

GVO/Host Then Profits: They have a complete marketers package. This is who I have all my lists with and run my email marketing through. I have tested out a few others and this company has been around for over 20 years and has provided consistent service and support.

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.

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!

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.

Gimp: Free software to get you making your own images with multiple layers that you can easily copy and change as needed. I have used this for many images over the years but this has a big learning curve to it.

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.

Instant Banner Creator: FREE to start...Use available templates for easy click and go banners, buttons, headers and footers for your advertising needs, sales pages and more.

Fiverr: where you can get lots of graphics and other jobs done for you rather inexpensively. This is if you want to have someone do it for you and pay them to do it.

Membership Site Software

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.

Wishlist Member: This is where you can control who has what membership levels to be able to access certain content or be denied it if they do not have the appropriate upgraded level.

WP Profit Builder: This is the theme/tool I have installed on this blog and it drag, drop and create. Pretty easy overall and can be used for great layouts, or to make simple opt in pages and funnels to grow your brand.

Click Funnels: If you want another drag and drop software to create a funnel, you can test this out for 14 days for free by clicking on the link. No need to have a website when you can just run it all here, though it would be wise to have the autoresponder which I mentioned above to integrate and capture lead details to build your list or follow up with.

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.

Viduber: Paid service competitive with Vimeo and Wistia though with a much better fee schedule as well as an affiliate compensation plan paying up to 60% commissions on two tiers. This service is AD FREE and perfect for your business sales pages, blogs and personal sites you own where you do not want the visitor to see things for a competitor

Youtube: You can upload/post free videos and help to build your subscriber base on this platform though they will always show recommended videos at the end as well as ads during your videos which can be distracting to your viewers and take them away from your content. You can also place your sales videos here so people can find them (if you do not want them private) though do not embed these ones on sales pages if you do not want your viewers to see other peoples content.

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.

Traffic Authority: Clicks here are high quality but can be a little more on the expensive end and also include an affiliate and team building program

Traffic For me: Clicks are less expensive here than Traffic Authority and also have an affiliate program but not a team building one.

Udimi:Clicks here can be the least expensive of these three but also can be lists that are used over and over

MLM Gateway - Helping network marketers build their business

MLM Gateway: If you are involved in any network marketing business, this is a huge place to connect with other like minded individuals where you can make business connections, create ads and write business announcements to help grow your team or business.

Profit Leads University: This is a system where you can get telephone interviewed leads (up to 5000/month) delivered to your account and be able to follow up with them in regards to your own programs and business.

My Lead Gen System: This is a way to get 100 leads per day that are delivered to your account and you can email them offers in regards to anything by sending out one email a day.

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.

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!
