Power Link Generator
Have you ever noticed those really ugly and hard to remember affiliate links or tracking links that people use? Until I got Power Link Generator I had to use them myself.
Rather than use something really ugly like

I now just use something cool like this:

Aweber AutoResponder
I recommend three autoresponders as they are all good and its really up to you which you like best. Autoresponders allow you to effortlessly email thousands of leads every day. You simply rent a system from Aweber, write some email messages and import your list of leads. Too easy!! The system will email them for you. Hows that for easy prospecting?
RoyalResponders.com
I've been using autoresponders for years now and find most of them are difficult to use. I knew I just had to find a good one and searched through Google. any that looked promising I emailed and asked a few questions, like how many leads could I import per day and how many emails could I send per month. Most autoresponder sites took a day or so to answer. Mostly the answers were vague and wary. I understand why this is as so many of them have been burnt by irresponsible marketers or downright spammers. I really liked RoyalResponders answers and the system is a joy to use. Very simple, espeically for a beginner. There is lots of help. They also have an excellent affiliate program. Anyone building an online business needs to automate it as much as possible. RoyalResponders offers follow up marketing systems that keep your business automated with built in ad tracking.This lets me follow up with my customers, and convert more visitors into buyers. Other autoresponder systems are getresponse.com and aweber.com, but you'll get more "bang for your buck" with RoyalResponders. Even if you only use the free service, or even end up using someone else's service, you NEED to use autoresponders.For more info about how to use RoyalResponders.com to it's maximum potential, please go to the site and check them out.
Openoffice.org this is an amazing program that does pretty much everything that Microsoft Office does except its FREE Thats right, FREE. You can use it to open your leads files, write leters, reports etc etc.
HostGator.com
There are thousands of hosting sites and over the years I have used quite a few. If you have ever been frustrated by bad customer service, slow speeds, and hassles then I know exactly how you feel. What I found was that there really are only a few hosting services worth being with. HostGator is definitely one of them. I love the prices and the service. By moving to HostGator I save nearly $400 a month, I get exactly the same space but a faster server and mind blowing service. They have a plan to suit any size business and you can easily expand it as your business grows. Check them out if you need hosting

Mining Gold On The Internet
This is a little e-book by an excellent "guerilla internet marketer" named Shawn Casey. Shawn makes abnoxious amounts of money using strange little techniques that you would never think of. His site has a great free course availabe too.Before I read Shawn's book, I thought I knew all there was to know about Internet Marketing. I used one little technique from his book and raked in over $3,700.00 in 6 days as a result.Needless to say...I read the book again and again after that!
