INTERNET MARKETING

I have learnt a lot from this forum and picked a lot of things along the way.

I have built an internet business locally that is picking up and beginning to make money too.

In the spirit of giving back...i decided to share some tools i have used in the past.

Below are some of the tools i use in my own online business.

1. Free Headline Graphics Creator - Use it to create outstanding graphical headlines.

2. Free Squeeze Page - Few days ago, i was looking for a free squeeze page and found this. It was very helpful

3. Royalty Free Images - I use this site to get free images that is royalty free for web pages and also to use in my sales/squeeze

4. Free Logo Maker - A friend asked me to help design a basic web page sometimes back and he needed a logo. I used this site to create one within minutes.

5. Signature Creator - I use to wonder how the Gurus create signatures on their website Until i found this. I remembered signing on a piece of white paper and scanning it and using it instead. But this tool helped me create a better one.

6. PDF Converter - I use the free version to create all my e-books i.e convert from word to document. It works fine and i prefer its simplicity.

7. Graphics Editing: I am not very good with graphics but i have sometimes had to play around with graphics before. I found this one as a good alternative for photoshop.

Kindly Note - none of these websites are mine.....I just shared them because they are FREE and very useful for me.

I am not sure if they've been shared before....but i hope it will be of use to someone.....

Thanks....

  I use Microsoft front page. Its simple to use and does not require too much expertise.
  
  However, you can use something close...called NVU....its FREE too.

  Great list! Thanks for sharing.
  
  If you do any of your own writing, you might check out Paper Rater (I don't have enough posts to put a link in, but it's just the name of the software dot com). It's a free Grammar checker, and I think it's pretty effective. I like Grammarly a little bit better, but you have to pay for that!

  And of course, all the free Wordpress templates and plug-ins!

  Nice one JeremiahSay. What works for me is that i have a Notepad on my desktop that i named "Tools".
  
  Every time i find a very useful tool, i simply copy the link to it into the notepad. So far, i have over 20 links to useful tools in it.
  
  Some i use now (listed in my first post here) and others are there for future purpose.

Most of the content you will find on my blog is about associate marketing, blogging, niche and content marketing. What you need to comprehend is that it takes work, perseverance, and enthusiasm to become successful online. You also need a as the crow flies budget to work with because it's all about speed of execution. Yep, it takes money to make money if you haven't already noticed. So if you are looking to make money online out of anxiety then read my post "What If You Are Desperate For Money" first. You also might want to check out my post about legitimate online jobs. On the other hand, if you got cash to invest then a lot of different opportunities open up for you. You can create your own products, build high traffic blogs (SEO), make money with lead gen, or deliberate purely on affiliate marketing. It's totally up to you!
How Money Is Being Made Online?
Value! You need to create value that people are willing to pay for or share with others. That's about it in a nutshell. If you can't understand that concept then don't even bother trying. With that said check out this post about creating value. Read it and watch the video that it links to. If you want to get into affiliate marketing here are some super affiliate tips you should read first. Your success in affiliate marketing heavily depends on your ability to drive traffic. Traffic is everything, but it costs money. Frankly, even SEO is no longer free these days. To get traffic you can simply buy it from Content Ad Networks or Search Networks like Google Adwords and Bing. You can also do SEO but it takes time. To learn how to build affiliate niche sites that rank well in search engines read this post here. You are going to need a good web host. I recommend Hostgator. Their support is top notch and available 24/7. Use NameCheap.com for your domain registration. They offer free WhoisGuard for every domain name you register with them. I also wrote a cool short guide on how to make money blogging that you should read. Some good tips there about link building and how to actually set up a blog. Anyway, feel free to browse around and hopefully you will find something that works for you. Remember to finish what you started. Focal point is key!

Make Money Online - Ways To Make Money That Work

I do not really understand how what you post on here relates with the original intent of this thread. irrespective...i believe its useful.

I am not really suggesting a precise way to make money online. I was only trying to list the tools i have used and feel would be beneficial to other warriors.

Thanks

i actually have some others but i dont want to be banned as am not sure if someone else has posted these links before.

I am sure you can do a search and see if it has been shared. If not, you can post it. As long as you are not blatantly spamming the forum, i doubt if the moderators would take offense at it.

  Exactly what problem are you experiencing?
  
  Ah...just in case you are not able to find how to use it....you are meant to edit the graphics itself. if you click on the sample headline graphics and type there, its editable directly.
  
  I was confused as well when i tried to use it the first time.
