From: Chris
Carpenter
Hi. I'm Chris Carpenter, the author of "Google Cash".
People
are always asking me which online business products and resources I
use and recommend and which to avoid. This guide details the tools and
information I use and recommend.
I have tried most
of the different tools, services and resources out there, and spent
hundreds of hours trying to find the best ones for my businesses. Here
are the ones that I have found that have the best customer service,
the best reliability and sometimes the best price. With any of these
ChrisPicks you cannot go wrong.
Registering
Domains
- GoDaddy
I register a ton of domain names. Godaddy has great prices and a good
system for managing your domains. Definately get your domain names
at GoDaddy.
GoDaddy also has website hosting. Do Not host your
website with GoDaddy. It is inexpensive, but has horrible customer
service. I have had bad experiences with hosting websites with them.
I have also heard stories from friends who as well have had problems
with Godaddy's hosting.
Website
Hosting
- iPowerweb
In my opinion ipowerweb is the best place to host your website. I
highly recommend them. They have great customer service - fast response.
This is very important, because websites go down, it is a fact. But,
iPowerweb fixes their problems quickly and usually without you having
to say anything. Their uptime is fantastic. And their price is one
of the best.
I could have saved myself a lot of time and money had I hosted with
them to begin with. I now have several websites hosted with them for
4 years + and have never had any major issues or problems.
Designing
and Building Your Website
- RentaCoder
Instead of designing or building your website yourself, have an expert
bid on the project and build it for you. You won't believe how inexpensive
it is. I have had turnkey 100+ page websites built for under $200.
I like rentacoder over eLance. On average the work is the same quality
but less expensive.
- eLance
Like rentacoder, except pricier. It is a good idea to post your project
on both rentacoder and elance and see what sort of bids you receive.
- Site Build It
SiteBuildIt offers just about everything you will possibly need for
doing your research and getting your site online. It is an awesome
choice for someone who wants to bulid their own website but does not
know html (or much else about web development for that matter). Check
out what they have to offer, you will be quite amazed!
- Mini Site Creator
If
you want to build your own website, this is the best system on how
to do it. It is an Audio / Video course. Jim Edwards, shows you in
detail how to build your own site. It is not that hard to do, and
he takes you by the hand and shows you how.. You can do it!
Email
Lists - Autoresponder
- aWeber
In my opinion they are the best autoresponder on the market. I have
tried all of the big players and several little ones too. I've even
setup autoresponder software on one of my servers. Until I went with
aWeber I had countless problems with my emails lists.
Like ipowerweb, aWeber also has excellent customer service.
Order
Processing
- Clickbank
If you are selling a digital product: an information product or software
then clickbank is an excellent choice because of their built in affiliate
program. They only allow digital products though.
- Paypal
Paypal is another popular order processor. Clickbank accepts paypal,
so if you are selling digital products use Clickbank. If your product
is not digital then paypal is a good order processor.
Anti
Spam
- Spam Bully
If you use Outlook Express or Outlook for your emails, then Spam Bully
is a great tool to stop spam. I get thousands of spam emails a day,
and Spam Bully cleans of my mailbox, so that the spams get deleted,
and the emails I want, make it through.
Come back often,
as I'll be adding more categories and reviews as I finish my reviews.
