Toolbox

Wondering how the heck we get everything done online, especially if you are  new to the online world and marketing?  Well here are all the tools I use that have brought me to where I am today.  Scroll below to see everything from what I use to host my sites to where I have my autoresponder as well as who are the marketers I look up to as mentors and have helped me in my path to success.

Domain Name Purchase: If you want to be online you want a website:

  1. GoDaddy: I have purchase most of my domains through them
  2. HostGator: This is the site I actually purchased this domain from

Web Hosting: The domain does you no good by itself, you need a company to provide space for your content.

  1. GVO: I host most of my domains through GVO with the Titanium Package
  2. HostGator: This is where I actually host this blog currently

Autoresponder: This is crucial with your opt in form if you are going to have a listof subscribers to promote products and let them know about updates.

  1. GVO: Again they have a complete marketers package.  This is who I have all my lists with.
  2. Get Response: Had to add this as I am on many marketers lists and see this all the time, so they must be good as well.
