Garret’s Picks
I started this page because I get asked constantly what I think of this or that, program, WSO, course, etc. I also get a bunch of people asking my for my affiliate link for the same products . . . which I of course never have with me. So, I’m finally putting it all here on the website.
Many of these links ARE affiliate links, meaning I will receive money if you buy the product, I just wanted to get that out of the way. But I would also like to say that I own EVERY single piece of software listed on this page and use them regularly. These truly are th best of breed products.
Keywords: The heart and soul of Internet Marketing
Those who know me know that I swear by this program: Market Samurai
This is hands down my number one Internet Marketing tool, I do nothing without it.
While Market Samurai is great, sometimes I need something that just get’s me the the data a lot faster, and then I verify with Market Samurai. The tool I use for that is Brad Callen’s Niche Finder. This software is getting better and better and more comprehensive on a weekly basis. Niche Finder allows me to see a market almost instantly and tells me if it’s even worth going after. I take that information into Market Samurai and validate it there.
On Page SEO: The WordPress Plugin that rules them all
SEO Beast is hands down the WordPress plugin that rules them all. I do not build a single WordPress website without it. The SEO Beast plugin allow you to totally optimize your website pages based on keywords. I have students who have NEVER done anything with ANY website before and with this plugin they are easily able to optimize and rank pages for targeted keywords.
Full SEO Reporting: A must if you have clients and good even if you don’t
People LOVE to see reports! They generally want to see reports on just about everything . . . and the truth is, a good report can close a deal for you. So if you have a need for in depth SEO analysis and reporting, there is nothing better than IBP SEO Software in my opinion. That’s where the reports on this page here came from. You can get the reports from IBP SEO Software to look just about anyway you want and the feature set from the software is really quite amazing also. The software is my #1 tool for keeping clients in touch with what’s happening with their project.
Local SEO Research And Lead Generation
Local SEO is a HUGE part of what I do. I love local and so does Google! One reason I love local is because is there is a lot of money to be made and if you know what you are doing, you can REALLY bank with it.
But a HUGE part of local search is knowing who to sell to. That’s where the Local Search Intel toolbox comes in. This software is just GREAT! Hands down, nothing better for local SEO and finding everything out about everything local, and I mean everything. Using the Local Search Intel toolbox I can look at any prospective customer and tell them exactly what needs to be done to get them ranked.
Link Masking: Hide those affiliate links so you don’t loose customers
As people on the web get more and more sophisticated they also get more and more paranoid. They have learned how to tell if a link on a page is taking them to another website or not, for any reason. That’s why WP Link Masker was created. We are using it on all of the links on this page. You won’t find a better solution than WP Link Masker and the price is VERY minimal.
Auto Blogging: This is as easy as it gets
As many of you know, I have quite a number of auto blogs, they are a great way to bring in a fully automated and steady income. I use a number of WordPress auto blogging plugins.
Auto Press is my new favorite. It’s gives me total control or look and feel, handles CSV feeds, so really just about any vendor at all and also has a large number of vendors already in the system.
WP Robot is my tried and true auto blog software. I still use it on a number of my blogs and it just keeps getting better and better. The nice thing about WP Robot is that the developer has developed it with modules, so it let’s you move in to the world of auto blogging one piece at a time.
WP Amaz-one is simply wonderful! It allows you to quickly create niche based Worpress sites with auto drip products. One of the most wonderful things about WP Amaz-one is that it comes with a developers license, meaning that you can turn around and sel the site to somebody else with the full functionality in tact. Most plugins make you pay dearly for this. If you are looking to make a product driven Amazon site, this is the choice.
Dedicated Amazon Script
We are moving all of our Amazon Blogs to Fresh Store Builder. Go to the site and read, you will see why.
Article Marketing: Still the best way to get quality backlinks
When it comes to article marketing and spinning in particular, there is one name on top that stays on top The Best Spinner, because it really is. At the cost of just $77 a year The Best Spinner is certainly at the top of the list.
Another great option as a spinner is of course Spinner Chief. I have talked about Spinner Chief and it’s a great bargain at FREE. They also now have a pro version and it’s coming close to knocking The Best Spinner out of it’s spot.
For submitting articles there are a number of FREE programs that do a “fairly well” job of getting your articles out there. Article Submission Helper is the best of this breed that I have used. It runs on Linux, Mac and Windows. You will do a little more by hand with this, but for FREE you just can’t beat it.
The best article submission software available though is Article Marketing Robot, nothing even come close to this thing. It integrates with The Best Spinner and provides the most submission directories, and the best reporting in the industry. If you need to keep track of submissions, Article Marketing Robot is what you need.
