Warning: (About Domain Names & Web Hosting)
- DO NOT get your hosting with your domain registrar
- DO NOT get your domain names with your web hosting company
Why? Because it is hard to switch over in future. So just play safe, right from the start.
Domain Names:
Previously I was using GoDaddy then I noticed NameCheap was giving away free WHOIS privacy, so I switched everything over to NameCheap. (Remember to get discount coupons for domain names.)
Web Hosting: (Under US$10 Per Month)
HostGator (1Cent For First Month - Coupon Code: jury)
BlueHost (FREE Pay Per Click Advertising Credits)
Getting an affordable web host is important. Getting a responsive & reliable web host is even more important! Among the cheap hosting companies, these are only few with good support. They will help you when you need help. They also allow you to add as many domains as you want without charging you extra.
FTP Software:
FileZilla (Free Software)
AutoResponder Service:
Only AWeber is recommended, just forget about the rest! Trust me, I have personally tried most of the major ones in the market, such as these…
- AutoResponsePlus
Installed on your server, one time payment fee. You need to whitelist your servers yourself. (That is a full time job!) No free upgrades. I used it for over a year before moving over to AWeber. It took me quite awhile to get used to the interface.
- MailLoop
The biggest nightmare I ever had on the internet! It’s so hard to set up, so hard to use, emails keep getting bounced back. You know what? Even putting up an email subscription form is really hard! You need to keep your desktop switched on 24/7 if you want to use this piece of over-hyped crap. Even good technical support cannot save this useless thing.
- GetResponse
The interface sucks! Not user-friendly. When you unsubscribe, you are being shown a bunch of crap co-registration offers - that is what I hate most about these guys. Another reason why people promote GetResponse is because they have a slightly higher commission rate than AWeber.
- 1ShoppingCart
Actually they are not that bad, I just prefer the interface of AWeber because it is more user-friendly & more intuitive.
- EmailAces
The interface is not every intuitive. They also create really ugly email subscription forms.
- AWeber (The Only Choice)
Nice interface, very user-friendly. Email delivery rates are high. How do I know? I track the number of clicks I get on my links in my emails. Even higher than when I was using AutoResponsePlus! Go try it out here: AWeber
Ad Tracking System:
I have been using it since early 2006 & I discovered quite a number of ways to use it even more effectively. These ideas are not covered anywhere else, not even by the original developer. You can read the detailed review here: AdTrackz Review
Affiliate Management System:
I seriously “under-utilize” this system. It is more than an affiliate manager system, it is actually an all-in-one internet marketing system that systematically centralizes everything. I only use it for:
- managing affiliate program
- giving discount coupons
- centralizing / adding / editing products & services
You can discover more about JV Manager here.
Affiliate Networks:
These are the ones which I promote very often.
Affiliate Networks: (Cost Per Action)
Among so many CPA networks, these are my top 3 favorite ones.
- Azoogle
- Copeac
- NeverBlueAds (The affiliate managers are very helpful, high recommended!)
PPC Credits:
Occasionally I give away ppc credits for both Google AdWords & Yahoo Search Marketing, if you are interested, do email me, (subject line: ppc credits), & I will send them to you at no cost.
The Most Important Resource Of All: (Your Time)
Unfortunately all of us only have 24 hours a day….. Ever wonder why some people seem to be able to complete more tasks & get more results even though we all have the same number of hours? The key is time management, more like results management.
I have gone through lots of material on time management, blogs, books, ebooks, audio, courses, programs, none seem to work well, actually most of what I learnt were quite hard to implement.
Finally I found a good course to help me become more productive, get more done, get more results & get more free time. It is practical, easy to implement & straight to the point. Best of all is written very specifically for the online entrepreneur, like you & I. Trust me, you will love it too.
