Resources
Here is my list of resources that I use in my various endeavours online. I plan to update it as I find and use new resources. It might be a bit hit and miss right now with empty spots under headings but hopefully I will fill it out as I go along.
Most of these are paid products but some are free or have a free account option.

Funnel/Page Builder
Building your sales funnel or your optin funnel is an important part of your business. There are many systems out there that let you do some or all of the tasks associated with these but my favourite and the one that I use is Convertri.
Just some of the things you get:
❖ True free-form editing – take the element you want, put it where you want it.
❖ Incredible page speed – Hosting your pages on Convertri makes your pages load like lightning
❖ Better conversions – We know that a faster site means better conversions
❖ Premium hosting
❖ Integrated shopping cart including Subscriptions, One-Click upsells, Bump-Sells, etc.
Content Creation
Whether you are creating full-blown ebooks, lead magnets or other content you want people to download and read, you need it to look good and be easy to read.
I use some very good quality PLR for some of my lead magnets and I can just open them in OpenOffice, make the changes I want and then create the PDF. It works well.
However, if I am starting from scratch, somehow I can never quite get it to look as good – no idea why – it just does not look very good.
This is where Designrr comes in. I don’t do much fancy stuff so I write in the editor provided in Designrr, add the images, choose a template and press a button to create the ebook. There is always a bit of adjusting to do but you can quickly get your ebook ready.
Secure Product Delivery/Membership Sites
If you don’t want all your hard work stolen then you need to have a secure delivery system for your products. It is also great if it can deliver free stuff easily as well and handle memberships sites. After several not so good products and ones that I just could not get my head around, I now use ProductDyno.
