In this post, I reveal the essential tools I use in my business…
Website
By far the easiest landing page software to help you create beautiful squeeze pages for your site. It also integrates with your preferred email autoresponder, analytics and webinar software. Ready to deploy on your WordPress site or Facebook Page too.
Still the most popular way to manage content for your website. It is supported by a large community and big businesses use it too. You can have almost any type of website you want using this platform.
CRM – (Customer relationship management)
Clever in helping you manage contacts and send news to your customer database. It’s a shopping cart, email autoresponder, membership manager and the real power of this system is creating sequences to help run your online business on autopilot.
Advanced shopping cart and membership system used by top online marketers. I use this to deliver content securely. This is for you if you want more security for your digital memberships or affiliate marketing campaign.
We have this on all of our websites! This is a great helpdesk software that allows you to talk with your website visitors – realtime!
Video players for websites
Video hosting equipped with video analytics and conversion tools – place sleek opt-ins and call to action buttons within your video. The video player design templates make your presentations more engaging.
If you use YouTube to store your videos, this plugin makes it possible for you to place call to action buttons and opt-in forms within your videos.
Payment gateways
Paypal
Widely accepted online wallet system to pay and to get paid.
eWay Merchant Account
Sign up for a merchant account if you want to accept credit card transactions from international customers.
Creating content
Keynote and Screenflow
Probably the only presentation and video production software most would ever need. Simple to use and powerful. I use these two to produce my courses and sales videos. A good resource to use Screen Flow to its full potential is Screen Flow Hero.
Mac
A good computer that works wonders! I use it everyday and syncs with my iPhone, Ipad Mini and MacBook Pro Retina.
Mic
I use a Zoom H4 to record audio for my videos.
Camera
For my videos, I record with a Canon 60D to to get better video quality.
Strategy, Planning, and Research

Keeps you on track with your big idea and focus on stuff you need to complete first.

Simple and fast web browser that also syncs your browsing data with your Gmail account
