Internet Marketing Tools…Say What?

No matter what business you are in, there are tools of the trade that you will need.  That is no different in the Internet Marketing business. There are certain tools of the trade that you will need to do business on the web.  And just like any business, you can spend a ton of money buying the top of the line tools that do everything from finding keywords to making your dinner.  Or you can buy the cheaper tools that get the job done, but don’t have all the bells and whistles.  Remember, when you are a successful marketer, you can buy whatever tools you want no matter the cost.  But for the broke marketer, it’s all about getting the job done right and for the cheapest cost.

There are a million tools available to do whatever you want, but there are only a few you’ll need to start with and you can increase your Internet Marketing tools set as new needs arise.  Most of these tools are free, however, there are a few you will have to pay for.

If you are building your own website, you’ll need the following tools.  I’ve put a $$ next to the ones that charge a fee and I’ve also listed the products that I use.  However, the fees are usually small.

• $$ Domain website name GoDaddy and Namecheap
• $$ Website hosting HostGator
• $$ Autoresponder, if you are building a list of visitors Aweber
• FTP software to upload your site to the web  Filezilla
• software to build your website  NVU

If you are using free sites like Squidoo, Hubpages, Weebly or Blogger, you will not need to buy a website name or hosting.  And if you don’t know how to program, then these sites are drag and drop easy.  No technical knowledge required.

How Do I Create a Website for Free?

If you use the above free sites and do not build a list of visitors, there will be no out of pocket costs to build your websites! However, I would recommend that you consider building a list.  It’s a great way to stay in contact with your visitors, help them, give them free teachings and provide them products that are useful and help solve their problems.
