I have been doing a lot of research lately with regard to Internet and Affiliate marketing. In the process, I have come across a bunch of best tools to use for helping with your online business efforts. So many in fact that you will probably get dizzy researching them all. I noticed some people call their brain, or their computer, or their internet connection a tool, but for the sake of argument I am gonna call those givens. If we didn’t have brains, computers, or internet… we would not even be here in the first place. So aside from that.
Here are my 3 picks for my favorite’s and why I like them…
The first one is Roboform, and here are the reasons why I like it so much:
- Remembers Your Passwords
- Logs You Into Online Accounts Automatically with One Click
- Secures Your Information
- Prevents Identity Theft
- Is Easy to Use
- Fills online forms with one click
The list could probably go on, but the one thing that I want to share with you that is not on this list is the Time savings you will incur from using Roboform. If I had to save all my user names and passwords to a separate spreadsheet and copy and past every time I wanted to go to a website, not to mention bookmarking the website and trying to find it in my 1,000 bookmarks. The time you will save will more than pay for this awesome piece of software in just one week. I know that sounds like an ad, but seriously.. this software was and has been recommended by every IM (Internet Marketing) Guru out there. If you don’t get this you are wasting serious time you could be doing other things like generating more traffic, or developing new products to sell. Enough said…
The next favorite tool I like is WordPress. It is open source so it is free, it has tons of plugins so you can do anything from posting articles, to selling widgets on your site. Definetly worth Checking out, and if you really want the best online blogging experience get the Thesis Theme for it also… “More simply put, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.”
Next, Mine and half the planets favorite tool(s) is Google. There is a list in that google link of all of their products and projects. Everything from keyword searching to spotting trends, photo albums, stores… you name it and google has it. They even have a free suite of publishing tools similar to Office.
Lastly, you have the email autoresponder. This is one of your best friends and one that you definitely want to get as soon as your budget for your business will allow you to do so. The autoresponder is going to allow you to send email letters, publish an opt-in form on your website, create follow up messages for your email list, manage email campaigns, keep track of your email statistics, and the list goes on and on. I personally use Aweber right now I always hear great things about them, and have always had great luck with their level of professionalism and their customer/tech support is bar none.
I am sure you might try to argue that there are free tools of everything you listed here.. I know there is so no argument here about free. I still use some free tools just because they are so great for the cost… lol can’t beat nothing!

I LOVE Roboform. I use it for all my passwords and I don’t think I could manage without it. With Roboform you don’t have to use the same 2 or 3 passwords so you remember them! BTW, I really like your header (I’m in the 30 day apprentice challenge, too!)

Hey Clint,
I almost laughed when you mentioned Google, but you know what? You are absolutely right! They have some awesome stuff, from calendars and task lists to docs and spreadsheets, video chat, email…amazing.
The really cool thing is that just when you think a button should be moved or worded differently, in a few days – a lot of times – it is! They are all over the user experience.
Nice post!
