My clients and I currently using these tools to help sustain, grow and build our businesses. In my opinion, these tools are NOT optional…but heck it’s your business, so you decide what kind of results you want to create (links all open in new windows).
Yes some of the below are affiliate links and I may earn a commission as a result of you purchasing via a below link (although it’s not guaranteed as affiliate tracking is notoriously bad in general).
However one affiliate partner which seems to track and pay out well is Beyond, and you can check them out by clicking the below link:

Beyond Pricing
Do you manage or own rental properties? Beyond is a revenue management platform for short-term rental managers and owners to get, grow and keep revenue. Their mission is to help the short term and vacation rental industries succeed in a new era of data and insights. They empower rental managers and owners to increase revenue and occupancy with data driven pricing, distribution and direct booking.
How their pricing tool works:
Beyond uses real-time, hyper-local market data to maximize overall revenue by booking at the best price at the best time. Airlines and hotels have been doing this for decades, and they are here to help apply the same concept to your vacation rental!

Screencast-o-matic
Demio
Affordable webinar software allowing you to interact with attendees, record every webinar you do (without having to click record!), email reminders to attendees, featured call to actions, invite other hosts and much more. What I like best about it is it’ll give you a checklist to run through before you go live, so you’ll never get it wrong again!
HostGator
Cheap and reliable web hosting, I host this website you’re on with HostGator and I’ve been a customer for years. They do hosting from $3 a month and I’ve not really had any problems so it’s one you should check out, if you’re not sure where you should host your website content. Click the banner below:
Zoom
Professional and reliable online video streaming and webinar conferencing tool…forget technical headaches with Google Hangouts crashing your computer! Zoom is where the party is at. I use this a LOT and it’s one of the best webinar tools I’ve used, ideal if you have clients and want to meet with them so they can interact too. It’s like Skype on steroids 🙂
Clickmagick
A great tool you can use to track and cloak your links, especially useful if you’re going to be doing media buys e.g. traffic from Solo Ad vendors. It tells you the location of the traffic and gives some in-depth statistics of the people who view your links. Plus you can manage all of your affiliate links in one central location so they are easy to find later.

Enounce (MySpeed)
This nifty piece of software allows you to play most online videos and audios at up to 4x the speed, this basically means if you have a 3 hour webinar to sit through you can watch it in 1.5 hours if played at 2x the speed. The awesome thing about this is you can actually train your brain to listen to information at a higher speed, and you don’t get any ‘chip munk’ sounds either.
Click to watch the Enounce MySpeed Review Tutorial I did recently, and you can download the tool for 7 days free, but it is so affordable (starts at $29.99 per PC) I would just buy it right away.
Click here to download Enounce from their website.
Screencast-o-matic
Screen recording software that also allows you to record your screen along with webcam too, to make your videos extra personal. It’s free to download but you can pay $15 a year for the Pro version to remove watermarks in your videos and other cool features – I have the Pro version and I’m loving it.
Looks like it works on PC and Mac – there isn’t an affiliate program for this but wanted to throw this one out there as it’s absolutely killer and a must have for screen recordings such as powerpoint. Click here to download the software.
Magnetic Sponsoring Book
In this powerful 78 page eBook written by Mike Dillard back in 2005, you’ll soon discover how the top MLM earners almost effortlessly build their business, and why people actually will PAY YOU to hear about your business opportunity. I reference this eBook at least 3 times more than any other I own because every page is just gold.
What’s interesting is that many eBooks which teach how to build a downline and were made after Mike Dillard’s eBook are actually concepts shared in Magnetic Sponsoring. I’m not even feeding Dillard’s ego here; I’m just demonstrating the value you’ll get from Magnetic Sponsoring, and yes these concepts and strategies still work today!

Procrastination Cure by Jeffery Combs
Your First Year in Network Marketing by Mark Yarnell
———–
Important: most of the above have affiliate programs which, if you’re looking to turn a profit in your business online, you should join immediately after purchasing. That way you can earn back more than what you’ve spent by recommending the product or service to others by sharing your EXPERIENCE of it! Plus most have a free and easy affiliate program setup option.
Makes perfect sense to me…not doing this is just flat out leaving money on the table. Please note that I may make a commission if you decide to make any purchases through these links, as I am an active affiliate for the above offers. I use all of the above regularly myself and am very careful of products or offers I recommend.
