StrengthsFinder 2.0 - by Tom Rath (Author)
A very important part of any business is having the right attitude and utilising you skills. Strengths Finder is written to ensure you are aware of what skills you do posess so you can compliment those skills with others in order for you to succeed.

Strengths Finder 2.0, is a wealth of new research material that Rath examines with exceptional precision and uncommon eloquence.

I strongly encourage you to take full advantage of the self-diagnostic opportunities that both Rath and the Gallup organization generously offer. Of course, once various exercises are completed, a significant challenge remains: to take effective and productive action to apply what has been learned.

It is helpful to be aware of what Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I. Sutton so aptly characterize as the "knowing-doing" and "doing-knowing" gaps. It is also helpful to recall Peter Drucker's observation more than 40 years ago: "There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all."

Unique Ability - Catherine Nomura, Julia Waller, Shannon Waller (Authors)

This book is very helpful and insightful to unlocking your understanding of yourself. There are too many answer books out there giving generic advice like magic diets. This book aids the reader in understanding how to get to know themselves better...

But it requires a good hard look at oneself with an open mind.

Unique ability is a theory developed and perfected by Dan Sullivan. Dan has developed a great consulting company based a lot on this principle. One of my unique abilities is high work ethic and taking the time off to study yourself can be difficult but well worth the effort if you want to succeed. I highly recommend you take the time to read this book!

RoboForm
RoboForm is listed here because it truly is the one tool I can not live without. I use this tool to remember all my login user names and passwords for online and offline. I also let it generate the passwords so I use can a different passwords for each service I subscribe to.

The other great thing about RoboForm is that it will automatically enter all required details for on-line forms with just one Click. You can Download Roboform for a Free Trial or Read More about RoboForm Here.

NameBoy.com
NameBoy.com is great for researching available domain names and domain name ideas using their domain name generator. All you do is enter a few keywords to find and NameBoy will generate domain names based on the keywords. I don't generally use them for registration though... See the next section for a list of places to use for register your domain name once you know what is available.

If you plan on registering a large number of domains or want to start a business managing doamins then you should get in touch with a Domain Registrar. That way you not only get your own domains at wholesale price, but you can also on-sell them as well. (If you are in Australia or require Australian domains, Contact me for pricing)

While you are researching what Domain Name to register, just be aware that there are some companies that monitor what names are searched for and will register them before you and force you to buy them off them, so make sure you do your searching on using NameBoy or one of the sites listed below.

My recommended Domain Name sites are:

NameCheap.com - $9.29 for one-year .com registration.
Not really the cheapest, but they also offer 1 year free private registration. This allows you to keep your home or business address and other details private at no additional cost.

Godday.com - $9.99 for one-year .com registration.
Yes they are cheap but... They are not what you would call Internet Marketing Friendly and you will need to read their Term of Service carefully to make sure you don't end up with surprise additional costs if they need to respond to complaints about your domain etc.

Other options include:

Reliable Webhosting is a key component to any online business. There are a large number of Web Hosting companies available and which you you use will depend on your skill levels and level of reliability you are looking for. The following are my recommendations.

HostGator
HostGator have Various plans to suit your Budget starting at $4.95 per month. If you are serious about building your business you are better off with one of their Reseller Account at $24.95 per month. This will enable you to set up and unlimited number of domains, although your Diskspace and Bandwidth will be your limiting factor. Click here to check out HostGator Hosting Plans.

SiteBuild It
This is definately a good choice if you are starting out and want time to concentrate on building Products and Relationships instead of maintaining your website. They offer a Complete service and are experts when dealing with Affiliate Marketers. They offer a number of packages depending on what it is you want the site to do for you.

Site Build It! (SBI!) is the only product that provides you with the process and all the tools necessary for "Top 3% Level" affiliate success.

At this point it is beyond the scope of this page to discuss Shopping Cart and Full service Merchant Facilities. However, the fact is that you don't need one to get started... All the service mentioned here accept Credit Cards on your behalf and then they disperse payments to you by check or to your payment receiving account.

PayPal
When starting out the easiest and quickest way to accept payments is with PayPal. Not only is it Free to sign up it's an extremely easy system to use.

With millions of members worldwide, PayPal, an EBay Company, has made it easy for anyone to take payments online. It has been proven that offering PayPal as a payment option will actually increase sales conversion. Just about everyone I know uses this payment processor. Here are a couple reasons why:

• Sending money is as easy as knowing an email address.
• It’s free to set up an account and the payment process very simple
• When you use PayPal to shop you don’t have to give away all your personal information
• 100% fraud protection when it comes to unauthorized transactions

To me, a PayPal Account is just like having an eMail address... everyone should have at least one!

PayDotCom
If you are looking for an easy solution to sell your products online with your PayPal account and also allow affiliates to sell your products by finding you in a marketplace, PayDotCom is a great solution. They also allow recurring billing and the selling of physical products as well as digital products. The greatest points that make this system unique are:

• You can sell your products and services through PayDotCom’s online marketplace, and let their automated system take care of all your affiliate needs. You then get paid via your PayPal account.
• You don’t have to wait for a “once a month check”. With PayDotCom you receive payments instantly and you pick your payment processor, for example PayPal
• Built for Internet marketers, the member’s area allows you to track stats such as clicks, sales, and conversions.
• All affiliates can sign up for free and immediately begin earning commissions.

ClickBank
ClickBank is considered a leader in digital products and has a very powerful marketplace and they pay you and your affiliates every 2 weeks. The downside is they have extremely high fees, but their powerful marketplace makes up for it by getting you many affiliates to help you make sales.

If you are looking for an easy solution to sell your products online and also allow affiliates to sell your products, ClickBank is a very popular solution.

Google Checkout
With Google Checkout™ you can quickly and easily buy from stores across the web and track all your orders and shipping in one place. Google's fraud protection policy covers you against unauthorized purchases made through Google Checkout, and they don't share your purchase history or full credit card number with sellers.

While their service is currently limited to 1 or 2 locations, I'm sure it will become as accepted as PayPal currently is.

AWeber

An Autoresponder is the most important tool in an Internet Marketers Toolbox. If you are not using an all in one eCommerce solution because you have your alternate process to accept money and track affiliates, know this: AWeber is the best value for money solution in the business and used by a large number of the marketers today.

Using double opt-in services (which means members have to confirm their opt-in by getting an email to the account they join and clicking a link to prove they own the address) they have the highest deliverability rates in the industry. Your email goes out at light speed as opposed to several hours or even days with others services.
