Hi there :) If you're new to my blog I want to welcome you and invite you to subscribe to my RSS feed. - Nicole Dean

These are the tools and services I use in my business.

Getting Your Site Online:

Domains - I use GoDaddy.

Hosting - You’ll need this to get your website “Live”. Consider it like a cell phone plan. The domain is your phone number and the hosting is your monthly service plan.

Communication:

Online Autoresponder - The service I use to manage all my newsletters, ecourses, and ezines. (Try it free!)

Offline Autoresponder - The service I use to stay in touch with clients and customers — offline. (Note: TRY IT FREE — I’ll pay for your first two cards.)

Shopping Cart for InfoProducts:

If you create your own ebooks or audios and want to sell them, these are the two programs I use.

Clickbank – Clickbank’s Publisher Program. (This is the easiest option.)

Note: Easy Click Mate – If you use clickbank, this is a really great tool to create an affiliate center.

http://www.wahmcart.com/special – An affordable shopping cart for digital (downloadable products) if you’d prefer to have something more flexible than clickbank (or have more control).

Shopping Cart for an Online Store:

If you plan to sell candles, makeup or t-shirts, then you’ll need a slightly different service.

http://www.shopkitplus.com/Info – A great shopping cart if you offer physical products (like candles or makeup). (Note: I haven’t had the opportunity to use this program, but I know the owner and she is very dedicated to customer support.)

I use other tools, too, but these are a few I rely upon every single day. I’ll add more to the list as I think of them.
