Essential Internet Marketing Tools

Today I want to talk to you about the essential Internet marketing tools you need to help you succeed online. This can be a difficult topic as what suits my business may not suit yours. Similarly, the skills that I have and the things I chose to do in my business will be different to yours.
The good news though is that there are most likely some common elements between the majority of successful businesses and between people that make good money online. Don’t take my word for it though. Australian marketer Peter Downs interviewed ten top marketers from all over the world for his site http://budurl.com/dypn
Some of these marketers are hugely successful - people like young millionaire Reed Floren, Bill McRea and UK duo Dave Nicholson and John Thornhill. Others in make-good-money may be slightly less successful but still make a living online.
One of the questions Peter asked all ten marketers was “what are the core Internet marketing tools that you use in your business and can’t do without?” The results were interesting. It didn’t seem to make any difference how successful or what type of online business each one had. There were some common tools they all used on a regular basis. These are
- a good auto-responder service (usually Aweber)
- a password manager program such as RoboForm (PC) or 1Password (MAc)
- an FTP program, usually FileZIlla
- a good html editor, usually NVU or Dreamweaver
- a means to collect payment, usually PayPal or Clickbank
That’s it. These were the most common tools used by these marketers, regardless of the nature or size of their business, to make good money.
Sure, some used tools for specific purposes, such as Photoshop for graphics or more sophisticated Shopping Carts. But, the core tools were these simple and mostly free tools that require virtually no training or any complex skills. More complex tools and tasks were often outsourced and many confessed to being ignorant about how to use these tools anyway.
This is reassuring and good news for most people starting out online. The message here is you can build a successful online business with a core set of simple tools that enable you to create a web page, upload it to the Internet and collect payment. Simple as that.

How to make good money online - where do you start?
If you want to make good money online where do you start? This is probably THE most asked question successful Internet marketers face. So what is the answer? Well, it depends on who you talk to! Of course, this does not help if you are looking for a quick answer on how to make good money.
Perhaps a clue lies in the work of Australian marketer Peter Downs’s work for his site called, would you believe, ‘make good money’. Peter has interviewed 10 top marketers from all over the world including some of the most successful online entrepreneurs on the planet. One of the questions fired at these online guru’s was “what personal characteristics does it take to succeed online?”
Most agreed that to succeed online you need a strong personal motivation that means you will not give up. The biggest myth of working online is ‘instant riches’. You need motivation, persistence and patience. Do you have that?
Next, what skills do you need to make good money online? Interestingly, most agreed that you actually do not need too many skills. One or two highly successful marketers confessed to being incapable of any kind of web design or SEO or keyword research. The important thing was to know what your skills are and to outsource the rest. Not try to do everything yourself. Naturally you need to know what skills are needed, to focus on those skills and to only do yourself what you are capable of doing.
Another interesting question was “if you had to start again what would you do?” The answers were unanimous. Build a subscriber list. All top marketers have a list and in their formative years online concentrated on building their list, often through Giveaway events and adswaps. Even when their businesses became established and lists grew into 10, 20, 50 or even 100,000 people the successful marketers still concentrated on building lists. This was regardless of the nature of their business.
So, if you want to start to make good money online then make sure you have a strong motivation, that you know what your skills are and don’t try to do everyting yourself and, in the early stages focus on building your subscriber base. Sounds simple!!

I know you’re busy and you don’t want to waste time on all those fruitless SEO methods. I’m damn sure you don’t want to burn a hole in your pocket with frustrating Adword campaigns.
What you need is a simple but powerful tool that takes the time and costs out of online profiteering. Mike Wright and Imran S have found a way to combine the strengths of Twitter with the opportunities presented by Clickbank.
On the one hand you have Twitter. Its amazing response time and its huge, endless traffic. Just a single tweet can be sent out to thousands of people instantly.
On the other hand you have Clickbank’s amazing marketplace of digital products.
Over 26,000 digital transactions are made a day. See here to find out how you use free traffic from Twitter to loot the ClickBank marketplace.
This takes minutes to install and you don’t need any techie knowledge to run it. It’s practically push-button and it makes affiliate marketing (whether you’re new or old to it all) beautiful and easy.
But it’s already a roaring success and it’s not going to be available for too long. Too many users = too much competition.
Get Tweetomatic Profiteer and start cashing in instead of pulling your hair out.
