Dear Online Business Owner,

Marketing resources are vital to a successful online business. It is not enough to build a site, you must have a targeted market in mind and bring targeted traffic to your website.

Here are some of my favorite marketing tools and resources.

• HostGator - One of the most respected hosting companies.
• Aweber - The best autoresponder available. Essential for eclasses, backend sales, and developing customer loyalty.
• XSitePro - An easy way to create your website. Lots of extras. Easy to use for the beginner.

When you are first starting it is important to keep focused. Don't try to do everything yourself and stick to one marketing method until you have mastered it or you decide it is not appropriate for your market group (assuming you have given it enough time to work). Here is the best site we've found on outsourcing or delegating some of the work on your website.

Keep in mind as well, you should have a budget. Many effective marketing strategies don't require capital at all; if you do the work. For example, article marketing. If you do the writing and submitting. It only costs you time and effort.
