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!
Marketing Dashboard
If you're tired of reading reams of pages in ebooks then something I stumbled across might help you, by a guy you've probably heard of named Marlon Sanders.
He's very well known on the net. What it is, is a Marketing Dashboard. The concept is you point, click and follow the steps. So it's literally "point and click marketing".The Marketing Dashboard is divided into 6 steps, with 6 steps each, which makes it a 6 week program with actions you take -- 6 days per week. The best thing is to see a screen capture of the marketing dashboard, and you'll instantly understand how it will help you.Click here for a picture and to read more:
Dynamic Pop Ups
This may comes as a surprise to you but, if you're using popups on your website (which you should), then chances are you're using them all wrong. Almost everybody is.
Did you know, for example, that top marketers are using HIDDEN techniques that make any given popup VASTLY more effective on their sites than the VERY SAME popup would be on yours! 
In fact, Stephen Pierce has actually admitted that one of these hidden popup techniques increased his profits by a whopping 50%!
Here's how that technique works...
Let's say Joe Bloggs has visited your site but has decided (for whatever reason) not to order just yet. He closes his browser (or clicks to another site) and then BAM!
Up jumps a window that makes Joe a special offer he just CAN'T refuse. On top of that, Joe has only got x number of minutes to make up his mind. There's a countdown happening right before his eyes. If he doesn't react before the time
expires,he loses out on the special deal -- forever.
Suddenly Joe is back on your site and placing his order.
I call these 'Pressure Popups' because they really put your visitors' backs to the wall and practically force them to take you up on your offer.
For pressure popups to be completely effective they have to be 'conditional'. In other words, they should only pop up when certain conditions are met.
You don't, for example, want the pressure popup to show if your visitor is about to order your product. After all, the idea behind pressure popups is to pull back those visitors that were leaving your site WITHOUT ordering.
In short, if your visitor is ordering, leave him/her alone. However, if your visitor is clicking away, hit him/her with an offer that's too good to resist (like a special discount, an extra bonus, etc.)
Make sure there's a live countdown on your popup. Remind your visitor that, once the countdown has ended, the popup will disappear and will never be displayed again.
It's easy to see how this kind of popup will make the visitor seriously reconsider your offer. This is particularly effective with those visitors who like your
product but decided to order later (and usually never come back). This is the incentive they need to place the order instantly -- and guarantees you a sale that would otherwise have been lost.
In the four months since I first added a conditional pressure popup to one of my sites, sales have increased by just over 20%. It's a good feeling to know that every single extra 'pressure' sale I've made is one that would never have happened otherwise.
Adding conditional pressure popups to your is simply a question of placing a piece of javascript on your pages. You could go to a site like ScriptLance.com and hire a
programmer to create the code. Or, you could download point and click software like Dynamic Popup Generator to make them for you.
Whichever approach you decide to use, go ahead and add these powerful popups to your website today and start putting your visitors under pressure!
