My Resources

Welcome to my resources - a list of websites and tools that I use and which I strongly recommend you use too for your list building projects.  Be assured I have either used or purchased all the resources I am recommending. Each of the products, services or tools will have a link - some of which are affiliate links.  That material connections may not be made known at every single advertisement or affiliate link. You should assume that there is a material connection and that I may receive compensation in money or otherwise for anything you purchase as a result of visiting the links, and also that we may be paid merely by you clicking any link. The payment I may receive comes at no additional cost to you.  I recommend the resources because they are helpful and useful, not because of the small commissions I may make if you decide to buy something. Please do not buy any of these products unless you are certain that you need them and that they will help you achieve your goals.  

Camtasia

Market Samurai

I purchased Market Samurai way back in Jan 2012 because I knew that 99% of Marketers FAIL to rank in the search engines because they violate one or more of the 4 UNBREAKABLE Golden Rules of SEO.  Market Samurai showed me how to and target high-traffic, high-profit and low-competition markets back in 2012 and it still does today.  Check out the free trial

 

Content Samurai

I purchased Content Samurai (same people who own Market Samurai) in 2018 and whilst I am a great lover of Camtasia (see above), I am astonished by the speed that Content Samurai can produce professional videos.  It doesn't do the screen recording that Camtasia does but for video creation it is ultra, ultra simple.  See what I mean grabbing the free trial here or you can download the Content Samurai YouTube SEO Cheat Sheet for free here.  

 

KnownHost

All my website products, including my shop, are hosted on KnownHost's VPS platform and they have been for the past couple of years.  I have found KnownHost to be 101% reliable as far as performance is concerned and on the very few occasions I have need to contact their support desk (usually as a result of a problem I've created!!), their response has been lightening fast.  Recommended hosting.

 

The Creator

I've owned this software for a few years now and I find it brilliant for creating all sorts of graphics.  I'm a complete dunce with anything artistic and The Creator helps me to visualize my ideas using 100s of premade templates and logos.  And when I've finished the graphic is mine i..e no royalties to pay and no fear that I am contravening somebody else's copyright. The Creator is a fantastic tool

MailChimp

Of the top email providers I find MailChimp has been the best for my needs.  For anybody starting out the fact that MailChimp allows you to have up to 2000 subscribers for free was great however, the bonus was that they also allow the free account to have an autoresponder.  To be honest that takes some beating and they are highly recommended.
