Tools of the Trade
Below are the internet tools, resources and information that I use to create and promote this and my other sites. One word of caution, tools only help and you cannot count on them to do all the work for you. It takes dedications and a no-lose attitide, along with knowlege to succeed. While the tools below have helped me tremendously, you will need to decide for yourself it they will help in your internet career.
Here are some tools of the trade that every internet marketer should consider having:
Internet Marketing
If you are like me you are tired of hearning from so called guru's. People who promise the world, but you end up losing money. Colin started out with a "real life" site that has made him more than a living. He does not claim, and never will claim to be an "internet guru". I have known him for over a year now and he is one of the most down to earth guys I know. His mission now is to help people like you and me make it on the internet with practical advise.
Here is a quote directly from Colin:
"When the students of another Guru offered me thousands of dollars to watch me work for a day to steal my secrets, I told them to forget about it . . .
I told them, I'm not a Guru! I'm just a guy who makes piles of cash on the internet! "

WordPress Productivity
This is definitely worth checking out if you want to stay ahead of the competition.
WordPress is the no-brainer choice when it comes to easy to use content management systems. But WordPress isn't perfect when it comes to internet marketing. There are gaps in functionality, ease of use and search engine optimization.
Time is money. Do we really want to be changing Casscading style sheets or inserting code into PHP script whenever we want to add a new affiliate or functionaliry? The Semiologic Pro Package is all about expiditing the process of creating and maintaining sites with WordPress.
The find-everything-yourself approach to using open source software is a hazardous waste of time. It amounts to searching through hundreds of components for the one — if any — that works. I know; I went through it.
With the Semiologic Pro Package, you get a carefully selected collection of business tools in a one-click download. It is the quickest route to creating a successful niche site.
Don't worry if you are not a techie, for a reasonable price they will help you with the install.
