Make Your Price Sell! — I know. It's confusing. The introductory version calls itself "The Master's Course." The advanced version with all the charts, graphs, and processes needed to determine the optimum pricing for your products is just "Make Your Price Sell!"
Confusion aside, though, "Make Your Price Sell!" is the advanced version that will apply the principles of both versions directly to your products and take you, step-by-step, through finding your optimum pricing. |
Step 4. Tools to plan a profitable Internet business system
Website-building tools
SiteBuildIt! — since SiteBuildIt! comes as a complete website planning/building/promotion package, it takes care of ALL the technical issues of running a site.
Your own domain name and hosting (along with many other technical features) come free as part of the package.
And new technical features are constantly being added whenever they offer opportunities to enhance the profitability of your business.
Seriously, I've looked at dozens of site-building packages and SiteBuildIt! blows them all away EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER NOTHING MORE THAN THE TECHNICAL TOOLS IT TAKES OFF YOUR HANDS.
When you add all of the planning and promotional tools—and the private forums that let you pick the brains of the many business owners who have already built profitable businesses with SiteBuildIt!, choosing to use SiteBuildIt! is a no-brainer. (See review) |

Orwell Pro — Helps you quickly find, collect, organize, and format into web pages any private label rights, public domain, Creative Commons, and syndicated content from article directories without scraping or any other black hat techniques that could get you banned.
It's a truly amazing way to speed the process of creating a website.

First Website Builder — First Website Builder is a website building tutorial designed specifically for those completely new to starting a business online.
It comes from The Newbie Club, which started out with tutorials to help people learn how to use the Internet. As more and more people have gotten comfortable with the Internet, The Newbie Club has branched also into helping prospective Internet marketers learn the ropes and start their own online business.
And it does so with the same approach that made their Internet tutorials a haven for those who were struggling to get started with the (at that time) new and scary medium.

Technical tips and tricks
Affiliate Link Cloaker — if you have an affiliate business, you've undoubtably lost commissions to link-jumpers who take your exposed affililate link and revise it so that they deprive you of your commission when they make a purchase through your referral.

Keeping your business legal
Online Marketer's and Website Owner's Legal Information Clinic — think Uncle Sam doesn't care what you do with your business because you're just starting it? Think again. The government has laws the govern doing business—on the Web or off.
And they will act if you run afoul of them. And if someone violates your copyrighted material online, they will not act if you haven't taken the proper legal precautions to protect yourself.
Jim Edwards' Legal Information Clinic lets you know what to watch for to make sure you don't unknowingly overstep the law—or fail to protect your business properly—and bring a world of trouble down on yourself. |
