My top resources for 2008
I wanted to do a list of the items I use regularly. These are all resources that have increased my income and are used regularly in my business. I split them into three categories.
- Scripts
- Graphics
- Education
Of the three categories education is by far the most valuable. Scripts and tools for graphics make things possible but the education aspect and applying them is the real key.
Scripts
Launch Formula Marketing – I use this regularly to run membership sites. Have a few sites running on this right now and one in the process of being created that will launch early in the new year.
It is easy to use and has been updated numerous times to make it even better and easier to use. Allows you to add in one time offers, login offers and timed content delivery. Easy to add affiliate tools and every member is automatically an affiliate.
Rapid Action Profits – Another script that is easy to set up for product sales. Built in affiliate program and can be used with a free or paid front end. Allows for a one time offer and easy to add affiliate tools.
Great way to get PLR and resell rights products up on line easily and allow you to have affiliates at the same time. Works well for monetizing your list building too.
Graphics
Primarily I outsource my graphics but …
That can be very frustrating when you need something small and you need it now. For big projects I always outsource and use a professional. Still for little things both of these have been extremely useful.
Design Dashboard – Disclaimer – I use and recommend a lot of Marlon Sanders products. They are always quality and this won’t be the only one on this list. This is the product that showed me exactly how to start creating my own graphics.
Easy step by step method shows through written and video lessons exactly how to create the graphic elements for any website. The real value though is in the explanations of why and how to use various elements to improve your results.
Instant Banner Creator – Three easy steps to creating not only banners but headers, footers, buttons and even peel away ads. Banners are an excellent traffic resource but you need to test them. This is perfect for those (like me 
) that can just point and click and not suffer the learning curve of using graphics programs.
Education
Often overlooked by those looking for the next shiny object. All of the items below are references that I refer to regularly. One of the keys for me is to go back and review these regularly. It is always amazing to me what I pick up on the second, thirdand fourth times. It is very helpful too, when you start to get off track to review things again.
Evergreen Free Traffic System – If you blog this is a must have item. It not only shows you how to generate blog traffic but also article marketing and various social networks. Lots of different ways to generate free traffic to your sites. This resource probably has made me a larger return than anything I have bought all year.
PLR Video Tutorial – Not just for PLR videos but a very useful resource for anyone creating video products. It is also extremely useful for anyone using regular PLR products and resell rights products to increase your return through some of the back end add ons.
Info Product Dashboard – Another great tool from Marlon. Step by step plan to set up your full marketing funnel. Going through this will make sure that you set up a proper funnel and show you exactly how to do it.
Could easily keep going as there are numerous others but these were the top items for me. The key though is to re-consume the products that have helped you as each time you will..
- Pick up something new
- Realize what you are skipping
The latter being the key as often that one little thing skyrockets something from so so to a great success.
Hope you find this list useful and let me know what products have worked to help your business.

P.S. As I mentioned Marlon Sanders is someone that I strongly recommend and you can grab a free gift “The Best of Marlon Sanders” to see why I follow him regularly.
