Advanced Warriors: What Are Your Favorite Internet Tools?

Tools and Resources: Filezilla, Gimp, Optimize Press, Logitech, Aweber, Market Samurai, Format It, Jing, Camtasia, Hostgator, Merchant Account, Video Camera, Open Office, Mind Map, You Tube, Blog, Training Back Office, Google Analytics, My Brain...

The beauty of editing. I can reply to stuff that is ahead. I forgot to mention that the internet is my biggest tool. Thank you eglassman88 for reminding me of that. I guess I take it for granted because it seems like from a young boy its been around.

Here are some of my tools:

Host, FileZella, Autoresponder, Camtasia, WP, OptimizePress, Market Samurai, ClickBank, PayPal, Facebook, Twitter, Microjob sites, ODesk, and many other tools.

Just got some tips from friends:

Evernote- capture anything online, access anywhere, find fast using keywords.

Dropbox- similar to evernote

FreeConferenceCall.com - FREE conference calls up to 96 people, optional free recording

Rssgraffiti.com - post RSS and Twitter feeds to Facebook

Google Drive- no need for MS Office!

And of course instant teleseminar and gotomeeting.

Can anyone add more to the list?

I have a huge list of Internet marketing tools that I've compiled. They're all high quality resources with free reports, tools, graphics, tutorials and whatever else you can think of - and with no affiliate links or useless junk links to resources everybody and their dog are using. Oh yeah, they're all free resources and free to download.

My three most important tools (other than the internet of course) are DropBox, 1Password and GetResponse.

My best advice is to NOT go looking for new tools unless you need them.

It will only sidetrack you unnecessarily.

Must have internet tools for me are Skype, DropBox, WordPress, Google, IDM and few more

My list goes as follows,

Market Samurai
Mass Video Blaster
Custom Made Youtube Account Creator
Tweet Adder
And a Dedicated Server To Run Them All On
Also a few others I can't recall at the moment.


I mainly use Market Samurai though, because my main source of Income comes from PPC and I love the software. I still do a lot of the work manually to get a more accurate view.

Never rely purely on software because that "Lifetime" means the lifetime of that software, which could stop being updated at anytime then be useless

WillR is right - only buy or download tools you actually need. Here are 3 I like:

1) Snagit
2) Camtasia Studio
3) FrontPage

But my favourite thing in the world is a little 'ole MP3 player because I download interviews, podcasts, audiobooks etc onto it and listen to it whenever and wherever I want.

Our favourite internet tools and resources: Mashable, Quora, Techcrunch, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Google, HotGloo, Hootsuite, Youtube, Salesforce, eBay, oDesk, eLance etc.

Mine are a bit different.

My favorites are Quantcast.com, Alexa.com and Compete.com to research and profile my markets and hone my messages for them.

I have to say mine is mix of most of the posts in this thread. I tend to use Alexa, more now, as I do Consulting and it helps when doing reviews of Biz Opps that People have joined to give them more information on it.

I would say, Skype, Camtasia, Powerpoint, OptimizePress theme, GetResponse and YouTube.

google - it tells me everything I need to know (the good, bad, and the ugly).

filezilla, pixler my app building software google play

GetResponse.

I still love receiving an e-mail everytime signs up :-)

Others - Pingdom, Statcounter & Google Analytics

Evernote, Astrid Tasks, Google Drive, Open Office, and LastPass are used multiple times a day, every day. Really, though, I'm also stunned at how dependent on my smartphone I've become. It's my phone/notepad/mediaplayer/camera - and I use all of those function damn near daily (especially with Evernote - that is one HELL of an app!).

Market Samurai is one of my favorite tools. I use it the most when I want to see what kind of backlinks my competitors have and if I can somehow replicate those links or create a similar backlink profile. I can see overall what I have to do to get the top ranking.

Hi - you say "internet", but also say "efficiency".

So when I think of efficiency and my work I immediately thnk:

Yes agreed - Dropbox, Evernote, Camtastia, Outlook, Mindjet (mind maps), Smartdraw (flow charts), Excel....... but in terms of "infrastructure" - ie I use it ALL THE TIME, I say:

1. Everything desktop search. Free. Stunning. I use it ten times an hour. I have it assigned to Ctrl + 3. (BUT if you use Dropbox too there is a conflict with the recent Dropbox update. Easily fixed - see my post here)

2. Chameleon folder - folder manager. Free. There are various alternatives around but this does the job highly adequately. With these two, finding the files you want is super-fast. Chameleon works in any dialogue box. I have it assigned to Ctrl+2.

3. Ditto clipboard replacement. Free. I often want to paste what I copied 2, 3, 4 or 5 copies ago. Ditto allows me to to do that fast. I have it assigned to Ctrl +1. Wonderful.

4. The Secret Weapon. Free. Time management par excellence. The easiest application of David Allen's Getting Things Done you will ever find. And it uses the excellent Evernote.

5. Fastever for iPad and iPhone - gather To Do items for immediate transport to you Secret Weapon system in Evernote.

6. Mindjet - used to be Mind Manager. Simply the best mind mapping software. Invaluable for planning and for recording relationships between data visually. Pricey!

7. Smartdraw - when it definitely IS a process and not a mind map, Smartdraw cannot be beat. Pricey. And there is no decent free alternative flow charting software. So bite the bullet ;-)

8. Logitech Performance MX mouse. Key benefit? The weighted scroll wheel. Fantastic feature - love it. Give it a spin and it just keeps turning down that lo-o-o-o-ong page. If you do that 20 times in an hour sometimes that's a lot of time - and frustration - saved. If I lost it tomorrow, I'd immediately get another one. There's not a lot to choose between mice: except this one.

9. A quad core chip and SSD hard drive(s). Really speeds things up. SSDs- read the comparisons at: www.fastestssd.com. My new ones are: Crucial M4s, 256GB. (Plural because I mirror to a second drive using RAID, as a total backup). [Anyone wanna make me an offer for 2 x 120GBs? LOL)

10. FSL launcher! Programme launcher. Free. Nearly forgot that one!! It's a joy! If I want to load any one of 100 programmes I have at my fingertips I move my cursor to the top left of the left-most of my 2 x 28 inch screens, and FSL launcher appears. It has ten tabs, one for each category of progamme - utilities, video, Office, etc etc. Each tab has the launch icon for the programmes in that category. If I want a new one in there: just drag and drop a shortcut from the Desktop. I use FSL 100 times a day.

That was fun - I'll stop there at ten!

Hope there are some ideas for some people - and for you Netrover :-)

Does anyone say hosting and domain registrar?

FusionHQ (If I'd discovered this earlier in my IM life, I'd have saved a lot of time and money spent trying to get WP plugins to play nicely together!)

Google keywords tool (As good as most paid for options so why buy?)

Google Analytics (As good as most paid for options so why buy?)

Apple Pages for e-books

Audacity for podcasts and recording guided visualisations.

VideoScribe for scribble-style videos

iMovie for videos.

Coffee for those long days and nights!

I'm in 3 different niches, so I have way too many tools.

But the most important tool of them all?

A browser.
