Domain Name Purchases
If you want to be online you want a website that is tied to you as your home address online that is easier to share in general conversation and/or looks more appealing on a business card. For example it’s a lot easier to tell someone to go to “7MinuteMuscles.com” than to “https://davegardner.nowlifestyle.com/pb/7minutemuscles” when you have having drinks at a bar or posting online!
I have purchased all of my domains through them… too many that I might be a domain addict! We are talking about custom names that are easier to grab people’s attention. If you can, be sure to grab YOURNAME.com.
While I have not used this domain name and hosting seller for several years, it is still a top competitor and has options that are useful to any marketer.
Web Hosting
A domain name alone is just an address; you’ll need a hosting service to provide the storage and infrastructure for your website’s content. While GoDaddy is a possibility (as previously noted), my experience has been that their platform can sometimes limit the control and customization options you might need to truly tailor your site.
For instance, you might simply want to launch a single website quickly, establishing a foundation for your business and potentially transforming it into a blog within a few hours. When choosing a host, it’s crucial to consider reviews regarding their support and the services they offer, such as cPanel, WordPress compatibility, and other features relevant to your specific requirements.
I host most of my domains through GVO (Global Virtual Opportunities) with the Titanium Package as I have many domains and websites running, though they have other sized packages as well dependent upon your needs though starting out small with the ability to host a few sites is likely all you need.
This is another service that is very competitive which you can check out to compare and analyze options in regards to available software, services, support and costs.
Email Autoresponder/Email Marketing
Building a subscriber list is essential for promoting your own products or affiliate offers, sharing updates and training, announcing new launches, and more – and an email autoresponder is a crucial component of this. I primarily focus on a few providers that are part of the same parent company, although I have used others in the past. Integrating an opt-in form with your autoresponder is key to capturing those valuable subscribers.
Had to add this as I am on many marketers lists and see this all the time. I had previously used it as well and was easy to use overall with some experience, though I decided I did not want to have multiple autoresponders. You can try it free for 30 days by clicking the link provided and see if this fits your business or test the others as well and compare them all!
This is the sister company of GVO and has an updated email autoresponder platform. This also has an additional business opportunity attached to it, with a much better compensation plan if you are interested in being a reseller of the tools.
Image creator/Graphic Editing
Want to bypass costly designer fees and craft visually appealing banners and ads yourself? If you’re willing to invest a little time and have some patience, there are straightforward avenues to achieve professional-looking results. These resources empower you to take the creative reins and produce high-quality visuals without breaking the bank.
Canva: This is a free software (with paid upgrade options) to make images of any size and you can import your own images to edit or create from scratch and is great for making images for social media posts and Youtube Thumbnails!
Ecover Maker: I have used this to create digital product covers for reports, dvd’s, books and more…super cool to use and pretty cheap if you create a bunch over the course of the year. You can try it for free and also order a la carte as well if you think you will only do a couple a year.
Fiverr: where you can get lots of graphics and other jobs done for you rather inexpensively. This is if you want to have someone do it for you and pay them to do it.

I want to help members to be a better advertiser, hence I wrote the ‘Insider Advertising Report‘.
Over the years, I’ve seen ads that work and ads that don’t. As what Brian Tracy said, “success leaves tracks”.
In this report, I anatomized some of the successful advertisements based on feedback from my clients and backed my analysis with advertising fundamentals.
I sincerely believe that it’s going to be an eye-opener for you and I hope you can benefit from it.
Yes, it’s free, but please DO NOT skim through it. If your ads are not converting, most likely you are NOT doing what is taught in this report.
‘One Signup A Day‘ is a report written by our member, Andre Zunde.
In this report, you will learn how he has built an ever-growing network of leads that he can’t even stop!
