Tools I Use in My Business

These are the tools and services I use in my own business.

Getting Your Site Online:

I have several hosting accounts. I don’t like to have all of my eggs in any one basket.

  • Mom Webs is where I refer people who are totally new to online business. I’ve been a customer – and am co-owner of Mom Webs and have been for years. They’re used to handling support from scared new online business owners. Highly recommend.
  • Host Gator is the other company I use. They’re solid and I’ve been a customer of their for years, too. I like that they’re a Green Hosting company.

You can’t go wrong with either choice.

List Building:

  • Aweber – The service I’ve used since 2005 to manage all my newsletters, ecourses, and ezines. (If you get any emails from me, they come through this safe list managing service.)

Shopping Cart for InfoProducts:
If you create your own ebooks or audios and want to sell them, these are the programs I use.

  • Clickbank – Clickbank’s Publisher Program. (This is the easiest option.)
    Plus: Easy Click Mate – If you use clickbank, this is a really great tool to create an affiliate center.
  • 1ShoppingCart – this is the cart I use to run EasyPLR.com. It IS 1shoppingcart. Just a reseller name. I’ve had an account with them for a year and love the flexibility.
  • Amember – I use this for my IncomeCPR.com site. It is an all-in-one solution.

Communicating with my Helpers (Outsourcing)

  • Basecamp – Allows me to track projects and who is working on each one.
  • Easy Safe File Sharing – Allows me to work with writers and editors and keeps all my files safe and secure.

Keeping my Business Safe and Protected

  • Mozy – Keeps my computer (and therefore, my income) safe. (Try it free.)
  • Password Manager Program – Keeps track of all of my logins, usernames and passwords, so I don’t have to. (Try it free.)

Tool that Allows me to Travel

  • GotoMyPC – Allows me to pick up and go at a moment’s notice, knowing that I can hook into my business from any PC around the world.

Tools to Easily Record Audio & Podcast

  • Record Audio (the simple non-techie way) – Quick and easy way to record audio from your microphone or telephone and put it on your computer. No techie stuff involved. This is what I use to record my podcasts.
