RESOURCES
I thought it would be rather nice if we will have here a ‘Resources’ page in which I will write down all the products and services that I am currently using in my business.
The links below are affiliate links, meaning, If you buy a product / service after clicking one of them I will get a certain commission from the sale from the owner of the product / service you bought.
Yet, I will never put here a product / service that I am not using myself with great success.
Outsourcing
Replace Myself - I have been a member of Replace Myself for years now, and I am just so happy that I found this site. Inside this site you will get access to the resumes of high quality and honest workers from the Philippines, and you will also get access to a members area which is just full with training content that you can use to train your workers.
Freelancer - This is an amazing freelancers site that I have been using for years. I hired graphic designers, article writers, and even a voice actor from this site. I highly recommend that you check out this site if you are looking to outsource your tasks.
Graphic Designer - I have been using one graphic designer who has created the graphics for 99.9% of my websites. His name is Steve, and you can click the link above to access his website. His prices are probably the best in the industry, and the same goes for the quality of his designs, and his delivery time.
Domain Registrar
Namecheap - Probably one of the best, if not THE best, domain registrars on the entire Internet. I have registered all my domains with this company, and my plan is to register all my future domains with them as well. Namecheap is simply amazing. They have 24/7 live text support which is just so friendly and professional, their site interface is very easy to master, and they make it super easy for website sellers like me to transfer our domains to our buyers in just a few clicks of the mouse.
Hosting
Hostgator – I host ALL my websites with Hostgator, and I recommend this hosting company to everyone I know. Hostgator is selling inexpensive yet very high quality hosting packages, and their site interface is extremely easy to use. Moreover they provide 24/7 live text support which is just superb. I have purchased their ‘Baby’ hosting package, and it’ is just amazing. In this package I can add as many domains as I want for no extra charge, and I also get unlimited disk space for all my site files. As a blogger, website flipper, website owner, and affiliate marketer those features are super important .
Autoresponder
Aweber - I always say that you should invest in an autoresponder from the second you start building a business online. An autoresponder is one of those services that are simply a must. I have always used Aweber as my autoresponder because Aweber is simply the best in the business. Their site interface is so easy to use, their tech and customer support are outstanding, and my emails are always sent to my subscribers on time.
Digital Products Marketplace & Shopping Cart
Clickbank – I always say that you must not put all your eggs in one basket, and thus you need to create for yourself many streams of passive incomes. One of the best ways to achieve just that is to sell your products on Clickbank, the leading retailer of digital products, I have been selling products on Clickbank for years now, and I am very happy with their service. It is super easy to use Clickbank’s interface, their support is excellent, and I always get paid on time.
Paypal – I have been using Paypal since 2003, and I am still using it today for sending and receiving payments. Paypal doesn’t have a marketplace or an affiliate program like Clickbank does, but if you are vendor and you want to have a product up for sale fast without paying setup fees (which Clickbank charges for) or wait for your product to be approved (it takes 3-5 business days for Clickbank to approve your product, and they may not approve it) Paypal is surely a good way.
Resell Rights Packages
Master Resell Rights – The great thing about buying resell rights packages from membership sites is that in many times those membership sites give you access to their past packages. Meaning, after you sign up for their service, you don’t only get access to the current month’s content, but also to past months content, so you can actually get access to hundreds or thousands of products for one single payment. The great thing about staying a member is that you always get the latest resell rights packages that hit the market. Some membership sites charge $197 per month or more for access, but some, like the Master Resell Rights site, have amazing packages, yet charge much less.
Master-Resell-Rights – This site has amazing resell rights packages, and sometimes you even get bonus packages inside the packages you purchase. The price of the packages in my opinion is a little bit high, so I usually only buy rare packages on this site when I can’t find those rare pacakges anywhere else.
Tradebit - I understand that some people will not want to buy resell rights packages from a membership site which bills them monthly, but instead prefer to be billed per every package they buy. One of the best solutions for this is to buy a resell right package from a site like Tradebit. In this site you will find the most sought after resell rights packages for the lowest prices online.
Training Programs And Membership Sites -
WSO Domination – I will be the first to admit that most of the training programs you will find online are not very good, yet this is one of the training programs that is. After following this video course I was able to list my first ever WSO, and make more than $2000 in only a few days. I highly suggest that you try this amazing course by the great marketer from the UK – John Thornhill.
John Thornhill’s Masterclass – All the video courses I have created are a direct result of John Thornhill’s Masterclass. In his masterclass video training program John teaches you everything you need to know about creating a real Internet Business that will make you money for years to come. I have made more than $20,000 NET from following his trainings.
My Silent Team – if you have read my blog’s about page you already know that I have attributed my first success online to Jim Cockrum, and his great website ‘My Silent Team’. I have been a member on Jim’s membership site for years now, and I am constantly amazed at how much content Jim shares with his members.
Create Minisite Graphics – I have to admit that I am very bad in graphic design, but this fact didn’t prevent me from selling websites with graphics that I have created myself. I learned how to design graphics from a very good step by step video course that you can access by clicking the link above.
Blogging
The Thesis Theme – This is the theme of my blog. I am so happy that I have decided to purchase this theme. It has so many options that enable me to implement all my ideas for my blog, yet it is so easy to use. Moreover, the level of support I get from the community of the ‘Thesis Forum’ is just out of this world. Whenever I am not sure about something I want to implement in my blog, I just post a message on the ‘Thesis Forum’ and within a few hours (sometimes a few minutes) I get an answer.
Increase Website Response
Exit Splash – Go to each one of the sales pages of my online courses, and then try to leave / refersh the page. If you do, you will see a window that asks you to enter your name and email address to get a free gift. This is Exit Splash – a very smart script that increases your site’s visitors response. You don’t have to use this script to capture email addresses like I do, but you can also offer a discount on your product. I did just that when I first installed this script on my first website in 2009. Ten seconds later I got two sales.
Article Submitter
Submit Your Article - Instead of submitting your articles to article directories one by one, you can use this amazing service which will just do all the article submission for you. This tool can really create many backlinks to your site, and it a is really a time saver.
Business Books
Conversations With Millionaires – This is the first book that got me thinking about making money outside of my 9 to 5 job, and it is one of the best books that I have ever read. This book is really a collection of interviews that were made between the radio show host Mike Litman, and a series of great people in the personal development, and wealth building industry. I must admit that Mike Litman was (and still is) a kind of idol to me, so you may understand that I was on the top of the world when his brother Brian contact me on Flippa years after I read Mike’s book (and listened to his audios) to buy websites from me (and as a result I talked with Mike on Skype, small world!).
Multiple Streams of Internet Income – Shortly after buying “Conversations With Millionaires” by Mike Limtan I have bought another outstanding book “Multiple Streams of Internet Income” by Robert G. Allen (who was one of the guests on Mike’s radio show). If Mike’s book got me thinking about making money outside of my 9 to 5 job then Robert G. Allen got me thinking about making money outside of my 9 to 5 job by using the INTERNET. I have bought Robert’s book years ago in its first edition, and I saw that a second, probably more updated, edition has come out. The second edition was released in 2006, so please notice that it may be outdated, yet probably still an amazing book to read for the lifetime concepts it holds.
Business Audios
The Millionaire Mind Intensive – one of the people Mike interviewed on his show was T Harv Eker. I guess that Harv’s aim in this interview was to change people’s financial future by making them examine their current pattern of thinking regarding making money. I don’t think that I have changed my perception regarding money due to this interview, but I surely changed my perception regarding my pattern of thought. Up until that time I was sure that I was the master of my thought, and Harv was the person who had planted a small seed in my brain that got me thinking that I may be wrong. Shortly after listening to Harv’s interview I have bought Harv’s ’Millionaire Mind Intensive’ 16 cds program that back then sold for $397. I still remember how thrilled I was when this program arrived to my house.
Philosophy Books
The Four Agreements – After studying T Harv Eker’s Philosophy on the nature of thought I have decided to find more books on the same subject, and really all the “Philosophy” books I have read since buying the ‘Millionare Mind Intensive’ were a direct result of T Harv Eker’s teaching. One of the best philosophy books I have bought was ‘The Four Agreements’ by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book had such a huge impact on my life that I later bought all of Don Miguel Ruiz’s books. All of Don Miguel Ruiz’s books really go deeper into the analysis of how our thinking works which is a subject that just fascinates me.
