The TOOLS page will be taken down shortly - as soon as this page is complete. Please find below ALL of the tools that you need to become successful with the systems that I will give you.

A good auto responder will enable you to collect client data from your squeeze pages and/or your sales pages. Let me tell you that from experience which includes building lists IN EXCESS OF 300,000 OPT INS a list really is worth its’ weight. You may not think so when just starting out but if you are not attempting to collect data from day one the you will regret it. A good auto responder will deliver you between 25% and 60% of opt ins to your pages. Here’s why I ONLY recommend AWEBER.
- They are trusted by the world’s top ISPs ensuring that your emails will get delivered
- They use a double opt in system which avoids fake emails entering your database
- They are the industry preferred choice

You will need to transfer website files you created in Nvu (or your chosen HTML editing programme) from your hard drive to the server on your hosting account. Again, I’ll show you how to do all of this. It is a simple click, drag and drop function. You can purchase one, but I use the FREE FileZilla. It works great.

To host your sites there is only one organisation I would recommend - HOSTGATOR. They have a 24 hour online support team who will answer your questions either on the phone or via an online chat system. They are also extremeley flexible when it comes to up/downgrading your account.
With their ability to allow you to host UNLIMITED websites I cannot recommend them highly enough. You may be able to save a dollar a month somewhere else, but for the peace of mind I would not go anywhere else. You can find more details on HOSTGATOR HERE.
HTML EDITORS
Personal choice is Microsoft Frontpage, but those that have Dream Weaver will probably argue in favour of their own choice. However, if you want a FREE HTML EDITOR then go for NVU. You can download a copy HERE.

Choosing keywords is where it all begins - get it right and you can make a killing. The all important part of keyword selection is to find keywords which are BUYING keywords and which have little to NO competition. WORDTRACKER 7 DAY FREE TRIAL will do this for you - and more. This is a tool which can deliver you keywords which will bring you HUNDREDS of visitors a day in niches which have literally ZERO competition…Check it for yourself - It is an integral part of my daily business!

If a visitor is leaving your page without taking you up on your offer then unless you do something about it they are gone forever. VIRTUAL SMART AGENT is like a ‘Night Club Bouncer’. As your client tries to click away from your page they are confronted with an unblockable pop-up in the guise of a ‘virtual assistant’ who automatically starts to inter-act with them.
The net result is that around 25% of visitors who ‘were’ leaving will stay and accept the ONE TIME ONLY offer presented to them by your Virtual Smart Agent. This may sound advanced, but it’s very simple…Your buyers came to your site for a reason to buy…So Give Them One. This tool is a must have.

Adobe was the industry leader for years (and probably still is). However, it is expensive and there is no longer any need to pay to convert a Microsoft Word document into a .PDF which can then be distributed and read on virtually any pc in the world. Open Office Org is where you can get a free PDF creator.The download page is HERE.

VIDEO SOFTWARE
Video is the quickest way to get results and often you can find that even if your video looks as home made as it gets you can still be on Google’s front page within an hour. Windows Media Player is FREE and will do an adequate job of creating transitions, adding titles and pictures. You can download it HERE.
Your second option is to use ANIMOTO. This powerful tool allows you to upload your photos in a matter of seconds. From there it creates studio quality video with free background music within 5 minutes. You can then upload the video directly into Youtube or you can download it to your computer to allow you to distribute it to all of the video directories. I use ANIMOTO almost daily due to the speed and the quality of the finished video.
