Internet Marketing Tools – The Top 10 Tools You Can’t Do Without
Here’s a list of the top ten internet marketing tools I don’t think anyone can do without if they have an online business or are seriously into internet marketing. I use all of these tool every day in my internet marketing business.
1. Market Samurai
Market Samurai is one of the most extensive keyword analyses available on the market. They also have a huge range of videos with awesome tips on keyword research and analysis.
2. Photoshop
My main use of Photoshop as an internet marketing tool, is for cropping and enhancing images for blog posts etc, but it’s also great for creating headers for sales and optin pages. There’s a bit of a learning curve but once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s very simple to create amazing images
3. Firefox Web Browser
This is a must have browser for internet marketing, because there are so many plugins available. Plugins extend the functionality of Firefox and there are hundreds available for this browser. The plugins for Firefox extend from SEO plugins, right through to debugging tools, tools for browsing Amazon S3 (Amazons file hosting software) and much more.
4. Camtasia Studio
This is the number one video editing and creation tool for PCs. All internet marketing tools should be simple to use, and although video editing and creation sounds difficult it’s actually very straight forward with Camtasia. It also integrates directly with PowerPoint, so it’s possible to make very sophisticated videos, all from the comfort of your own PC. The equivalent for Mac Users is Screenflow.
5. Aweber and GetResponse
These internet marketing tools are both autoresponders. They are both websites, and are vital for ensuring your emails are delivered to your customers. With an Autoresponder you’re able to build and store an email list, and also create and schedule emails to send to your subscribers
6. Dreamweaver and XsitePro
For the technically minded these are html editing tools. Like most html editing tools they’re WYSIWYG, what you see is what you get. This means it works in a similar fashion to a word processor. What you see on the screen is what your website will look like.
7. WordPress
The bloggers choice and one of the most popular internet marketing tools available! Like Firefox it has many plugins available for it. It’s also very simple to use, no technical know how is required and it’s completely free. The plugins to extend the functionality of WordPress number in the thousands and turn it from a blogging platform to a fully fledged website creation tool.
8. Roboform
As far as internet marketing tools go this is one of my favourites and will save you hours of time. No doubt if you’ve been online for a while you’ll have a huge number of websites that you need to log in to. Roboform takes care of this for you by storing all your usernames and passwords and you just need to select the site you want to login to and it will automatically log you in.
9. Open Office
Open Office is the equivalent of Microsoft Office, but it’s entirely free. It’s open source, which means any software developer can create code for it, which is why it’s offered for free. It includes a spreadsheet, word processor, image manipulation software, presentation software and database software.
10. Filezilla
Filezilla is an FTP client. FTP is a protocol that allows you to upload files to your website. You can do this through cpanel, the control panel for most websites, however cpanel puts a limit on the file size you can upload. FTP gets around this by allowing you to upload any size file. Filezilla is as simple to use as windows explorer, so again you don’t need any technical skill.
That’s my list of internet marketing tools I use every day. When using software, paid or free, always look for software that allows you to automate as much of your business as possible
