Great list of tools man!!

Thanks for sharing it with us!!

I wish you the best of the best!

Keep up the great work!

Cheers!

Nice list! I use a lot of these myself... Just to add:

1) Scrapebox - in my opinion and many others is the swiss army knife for seo.... You can do a ton of things like build footprints for tiered backlink campaigns, scrape content lists, website urls, keywords etc... The only thing I dont use it for is for backlinking.... Another great thing with scrapebox is that you can use it for keyword rank tracking without any limitations on sizes that you get with other providers and plus its only a one off cost ....

2) GSA SER - For tiered backlinking campaigns... I've used many other tools in the past, but nothing comes close to how easy and robust this tool is... What is real cool is that it even finds dofollow links that you can create where as many others dont even offer that.... That said I don't really use it much as I used to ... with emphasis now on other techniques....

3) Buzz Bundle - Is a tool that I purchased recently... and it looks very promising with targeting social as a means to solicit traffic to your site....

4) Free Mind - Now thats a great tool to develop mind maps which I do when researching new topics and niches... Highly recommended....

5) Evernote - a great tool to capture ideas and consolidate notes on your many devices e.g. laptop, pc, smart phone etc.... Comes in handy as does drop box...

6) Dragon Naturally Speaking - This is such a time saver when it comes to writing up quick articles using voice recognition and is a lot of fun lol...

7) The Best Spinner - Simply awesome tool to create content which you can proliferate on your lower tiers as part of link building.... Use with caution as you need to make sure that you develop highly spun content at about 90% uniqueness against 100 articles.... I use that typically for tier 2 and for tier 3 its Kontent Machine 3 ....

That aside I also think a little time spent learning PHP will take you a long way as that will allow you to modify themes or write snippets of code that can really help you out....For that I use Notepad++.

If you can master SEnukeXCr, XRumer, and an article spinner like @elcidofaguy suggested (I use WordAI for spinning, the turing spinner is awesome!) you can make bank on the web with strictly affiliate links. I'm well educated on how to achieve the results but I literally work on building my company from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep.

Hopefully I pull in some hefty jobs that can pay me enough to take a month off and build all of the PBN and affiliates site I want to do. Then I'll do a journey thread here on how to do it. I want to wait till I can show a case study, but I need a month off to get everything organized.

Right now I'm wishing' in one hand and the other keeps filling up.

Another software according to me is learning about auto responder that is basically used in email marketing. Now a days people are making a lot of money with email marketing.
Many people use Aweber or Get response.
but according to me they are very expensive. I personally use pure leverage autoresponder.

I will add to what azamriaz381 said above...

An autoresponder is a very important tool for internet marketing/making money online. I personally use Aweber.

Another important aspect of marketing online is "Tracking" -- having the right tools for tracking and knowing how to use them is KEY.

Maybe some people can chime in and share what the best tracking tools have been in your experience?

Best,
Shane

And of course, if you're a beginner with Internet marketing, you need lecture to learn the basics.

courses you pay for. (Small fee)

Thanks for this great list of money earning tools.Will definitely help to earn more.

Really useful information. Thank you!

All the ideas in this thread are wonderful and awe-inspiring! I would like to add that another free screen capture that I use is screen-cast-o-matic. It can be downloaded to computer or used web-based either one. They also have a paid version that is $12 per year. I have used it for a couple of years.

Also for people that don't want to pay for Dragon Natually Speaking there is software that comes on most new computers(pc) called Speech Recognition. For some people it's found in accessories and then one of the tabs below. If you can't find it just do a search from the start button for speech recognition.

Just like Dragon it take about 30 minutes of speaking into the tutorial that gets your computer used to your voice and where you learn the commands.

Tools are important and thanks to everyone who has shared them. Success!!! Starts with a share and great mindset!

I would add a couple of things, Firstly Roboform to store all my secure passwords. if you don't invest $10 ($20 in subsequent years) in that you will end up putting yourself at risk by using the same passwords for everything and secondly I wouldn't be without my IMI Organizer. I have the pro mindmap version. It stores and organises everything I am doing online. It must have saved me hundreds of hours, not to mention avoiding buying the same product twice. If you google it you will find a free version of the folder structure. helps when you have a place for everything and everything in it's place.

How many hours have you spent looking for content you know you've got somewhere!
