Tools & Resources
These are some of the tools and resources I use every day in my Internet Marketing business.
Full Disclosure: On some of them I’m an affiliate and, therefore, I earn a commission for referring new customers to them.
However, I use everything that’s referred to on this page and I’ve done so, in all cases, for some time – 2 years in the case of one of them. They not only work for me, I rely on them. And I have no hesitation in recommending them to you.
If you’d like some more information on any of them don’t hesitate to ask!
Free Internet Marketing Report
Diversification is one of the keys to success in business. And in investing. Having all your eggs in one basket is, most times, not smart.
The same applies to your income – especially in uncertain times. The world economy is changing as new technologies, the move towards greener energy sources and longer life expectancy all bring changes to the way we earn money and the length of time we need to be able to provide for ourselves and our family.
So it makes sense to diversify your skills.
Learning Internet Marketing and how to work online will not only broaden your skill base, it opens up a range of different earning opportunities. Which will give you more options and strengthen your financial security.

As a member of Wealthy Affiliate you’ll learn how to make money as an Affiliate Marketer – and launch yourself into a whole new career.
I found Wealthy Affiliate quite soon after I started working online and the help and guidance I got from Kyle and Carson (the owners), as well as from the people in the forums, was what enabled me to create my first profitable Google Adwords campaign.
It’s fair to say that if it wasn’t for Wealthy Affiliate I wouldn’t be doing this today. It taught me how to market online.
And that’s brought me both money and enjoyment, as well as opening up a whole new career opportunity and enabling me to create financial security.
The training, support and resources in WA is comprehensive and thorough. It’s heavily focused on Pay Per Click advertising (majoring on Google Adwords) and the knowledge you’ll get there will enable you to establish a sustainable, profitable business.
A while ago I wrote a more detailed review of WA. To see the review click here.
After you join hop over to the forum and leave me a Personal Message so I can hook up with you there and help you find your way around.

Social Marketing and Blogging Training
Back to my point about diversification – relying on one promotion channel for your Internet business is not smart! Social Marketing and Blogging are very closely interlinked and the Blog Success Membership site provides leading edge training for both.
Plus – once you get your blogging and social marketing activities going this is the cheapest way to get traffic (and very targetted traffic) to your sites, since it doesn’t involve using paid advertising.
In addition to a wide array of training videos and packs, there’s a range of software tools which help to automate and ease the process of writing blog posts, publishing your posts and articles as widely as possible, and generating links back to your site.
This deals with one of the main concerns I hear expressed against social network marketing: that it all takes too much time. That time requirement is hugely reduced with the tools available in Blog Success.
I joined the initial version of Blog Success (it was called Social Power Linking back then) at the beginning of 2008 and it introduced me to a completely different side of Marketing Online. And it perfectly complemented (still does) what I had learned at Wealthy Affiliate.
Again – if you do join, hop over to the forum and leave me a Personal Message to let me know you came from here.
As a free taster of the kind of support you can find in Blog Success why not download the Authority Black book?
This is the book that really turned me onto blogging and how powerful it can be as a source of free traffic.
If you’re using a self-hosted Wordpress blog there’s even more reason to pick up a copy of ABB: it deals at length with how to optimise your Wordpress blog for the search engines – which will enable you to attract more readers, more quickly.
It’s absolutely free of charge and contains 67 pages packed with information on how to start building a powerful web presence and attracting high volumes of visitor traffic through blogging.

Special Offer - Free Installation and Customisation of Thesis
The theme I'm using on this blog is the Thesis theme.It's a highly customisable theme. For some examples of sites that are built on Thesis check out this page and scroll down a bit to see the gallery.
A couple more examples: my travel in Asia site, my personal site, my development site and my second development site, which contain the last designs I did for someone.
I've also written 2 reviews of Thesis, the most recent of which is here.
Here's the Special Offer:
If you choose to buy Thesis, and do so through my affiliate link, I will happily install and customise it for you.
Clicking my affiliate link will take you through to the DIYThemes site, which is the site from which they sell Thesis.
It doesn't look like my site but the click through contains my affiliate code, which I've tested, checked and secured. :)
Here's the deal:
Unfortunately the system at Thesis doesn't let me check in real time who's bought it through my affiliate link, so I have to go through this convoluted process I've described below:
After you have completed your purchase and received your username and password from the Thesis admin team contact me through this link and give me:
- Your name
- The version of Thesis you bought (Developer's or Personal Option)
- The date you bought it
- Whether you paid by credit card or PayPal (but don't give me your credit card number or PayPal email address!)
Your answers to the questions will enable me to create a suitable initial design, which you will be able to review on my development site and ask for changes as necessary before accepting it.
Here are some kind words from people for whom I've done some Thesis work:
"I just wanted to thank you for your assistance in getting my blog up and running. I am delighted with the outcome.
Not only did you deliver on time exactly what we discussed before the project began, but I found you exceedingly pleasant to work with and thoroughly professional from start to finish.
Thank you for your time and for teaching me so much in such a short period. I consider myself technically inexperienced, yet at no point did you make me feel awkward or uncomfortable.
I would recommend your services to others without hesitation."
This offer is for one installation and customization only per purchase of Thesis and to get your free installation and customisation you must buy Thesis through my affiliate link.
If you’d like to use Thesis and you’re happy to get on with things yourself you can still buy Thesis here. At the very least it’s worth clicking through to see the gallery of different blogs that have adapted Thesis, and how they’ve done it!
BTW – that other review of Thesis I wrote a while ago – you can find it here.
