  • If you can manage it, I'd say two monitors. You will be amazed how your productivity goes up with two of them,and once you've used them for a while you will never want to go back to a single screen.

    • It's definitely in the category of "never going back". I got a second monitor for photography, but it's so much more efficient to do everything.
  • Looks like the others have covered pretty much everything. The only thing I'd add is to have a plan. Always important to set out goals (daily, weekly, monthly, whatever) so you continue making progress
  • 1. A laptop would be nice. I built an ueber-powerful desktop a few years ago. It's overkill for what I do for IM, but there's no such thing as too powerful.
    2. (Or any arbitrary device.) Nice, but not essential.
    3. A mic is nice.
    4. Nah, I have a 22 and 17.
    5. Or any arbitrary smartphone.
    6. 3 TB? I'm a photographer and can see the purpose of huge storage devices, but for IM?
    7. Tis nice.
    8. Great idea.
    9. Tis nice.
    10. Word '07 Pro and CS4 Master Collection
  • Here is mine.
    1. College degree
    2. HD Video recorder
    3. Smart phone
    4. Car
    5. Money
    6. Ambition
    7. Open Office
    8. Dragon Naturally Speaking
    9. Web sites
    10. Microphone
    11. Laptop

    Woops. That was 11, not 10. Oh well.
  • Dual monitor is must for IM if you got the money.
    i would buy iMac24" instead of mac book pro.
    just my 2cents

    • Unfortunitely I would not be able to have a mobile office with a iMac. One of my major goals is to never be confined to any location and just to travel and work while on vacation most of the time thus I must have a more portable option hence my need for laptop device.

      I definitely agree that a dual monitor is extremely helpful especially when writing articles, designing sites, and doing research. For a 100 dollar investment, you can't go wrong.

    • +1 for the dual monitor but on a PC.

      My two investments of 2012 so far have been my extra monitor and my whiteboard for some crazy mindmaps.
  • I like to keep it simple, blackberry play book, laptop and white board all though the laptop would be enough. I guess the rest is just for when im on the go.
  • How about --1. Notebook(real notebook), 2. Table, 3. coffee cup, 4. Watch...

    • Coffee is the most important item, next to a computer. Ueber important.

    8. Motivation (in good forms and bad forms such as: success stories and student loans, respectively)

    10. Mentor or Coach. I am in Kenster's Six Figure Alliance and I am enjoying every minute of it!

    • I totally agree with the dual monitor approach. I just upgraded and it's done wonders for my productivity. If you can't stretch for it - at least make sure you're using a widescreen monitor!

      Despite all that tech - like others have said, I'm still very much dependent on my old pen and paper!

    • I can't believe no one has mentioned a list...
    • These two from your opening post would be a bit of a problem then:

      Just my thoughts,

  • Digital writer (anything to save ideas instantly )will also help creative people
  • Great list. I would say that there are really only 2 essential things you need to get started in Internet Marketing and those would be a brain (with ideas of course) and a computer or access to one.
    The other things are nice to have but deffo not essential
  • I agree with all ten.

      SurferChris:



      Bringing up one or two older threads and adding to the conversation is one thing. Posting random one liners and bumping handfuls of old posts back up? Not cool.
  • Web connection
    computer
    hosting
    domain names (plural)
    services
    products
    market to target
    phone
    software
    coffee
    music, preferably something tricky like free jazz

    Not sure if it's a 10 list, but missing one or two it's my base.
  • Must have the mindset that you can be successful with an Internet Based Career and fire your boss.
