Marketing Resources
When I first started out marketing, I was set out to do it without spending any money at all. I was only going to use free stuff. Free domains, free hosting, and free marketing resources. That was it. But, I soon came to realize that I was going to regret this decision. I’m not sure, but I don’t think that I made it more than one month before I bought my first product.
The list you see below is not just paid products, but it’s marketing resources I highly recommend that you start using, and books you should read.
Marketing resources and what to expect
I am rewriting everything. That’s why you’ll not find many marketing resources right now:
Affiliate Marketing
- Affiliate Marketing Without the Bulls**t – This affiliate marketing course is awesome. I have been following Steve Scott for a long time, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this. I actually had to walk 30 minutes to the public library to buy it at the day when it was launched. And I’m glad I did.
- Easy Azon – The best wordpress plugin for Amazon affiliates
Blogging
- Elegant Themes – very cheap and professional themes
- Vault Press – I use this service to backup my blog and keep it secure from everything that can happen. I have had so many problems with malware and hackers. So, I decided that I just had to do something to keep my blog safe.
- Woo Themes – not as cheap as Elegant Themes, but even more spectacular. I am using Woo Themes for slymarketing. And I am super happy with every little detail.
- WPSubscribers – the best listbuilding plugin
