Online Business Resources
Welcome to my personal resources page!
This is my toolkit, the same software and tools I use every day to make money online.
Think of this page as my personal, organized bookmarks page so I can access these resources easily.
Affiliate Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links. This means I might get a small compensation if you buy anything through this page.
I only recommend helpful products and services that I use myself.
The Exact Affiliate Marketing Process
If you want to make money online consistently from affiliate marketing:
In addition, I highly recommend you go through this training.
Domain / Website / Hosting
Namecheap - I manage all my domains here.
Siteground - fast, managed WordPress hosting that I use and recommend, especially for beginners
If you sign up to Siteground via this page, you’ll get free access to The Perfect Website which shows you exactly how to set up everything in a professional way, including which plugins to use and why, etc.
Just get in touch with me after your purchase and I’ll share access to The Perfect Website with you.
Email Marketing
GetResponse - the autoresponder that I use and recommend. Simple to use, for beginners and pros, and works great for affiliate marketing.
Trust me when I say I’ve tried a lot of services and tools for professional email marketing.
In addition, I’m on most OGs’ email lists. So I can see what’s working - and what’s not.
Delivery of your emails & “inboxing” is not as easy as it once was.
However, there are a few tricks and procedures that I learned over the years to get your emails opened and your (affiliate) links clicked.
So I sat down, wrote down what I know about professional email marketing and created Email Marketing Secrets.
You get free access to it if you sign up to GetResponse via this page.
That way you’ll have access to today’s best email operating procedures and you’ll instantly be ahead of 95% of all email marketers.
Plus, you’re dealing with a professional email service provider.
Pretty cool, hm?
But let’s move on…
Landing Pages / Opt-In Pages
Instead of paying hundreds of $$$ every month for a slow and outdated “funnel builder” tool, I suggest something else:
Use what you already have access to.
If you’re working with a professional email service provider (see above), you’ll have access to simple page builders.
There’s really no need to pay extra for a funnel/page building tool - especially as a relatively new affiliate marketer!
That’s because you only need one(!) simple, high-converting, mobile-first, and fast landing page to get started.
Get on my email list here and I’ll show you how to do it.
Tracking Software
BeMob is the tracking software that I use and recommend. Simple to use, generous free entry tier, and good support.
Traffic Generation
No matter what niche you’re operating in: Go through this training and you’ll learn how to generate free, organic, highly targeted traffic for any niche and any product in a highly effective way.
