The Best Online Marketing Course, Free Tools and Resources
The Keyword Academy – The absolute best online coaching and networking community on the net. Highly recommended for beginners and those looking to take their online business to the next level. The free tools that come with TKA (listed below) are all you need to get started. It’s super cheap at just $33 per month and even if you don’t want to spend the money I recommend signing up for their free webinars and downloading their training videos. They allow you to try everything out free for a full 30 days. I have been a member of TKA for quite some time now. I was able to increase my online income by 400% in my first 6 months there. They have several 5 figure per month earners to learn from. It’s set up like an online collage course for internet marketing. They will also setup and host your first site for free, saving you the cost of buying a domain and web hosting.

Aweber – high quality cheap list marketing / newsletters / auto responders / blog broadcast / results emailing – Aweber is the best email list building management / host I have used, they have an easy to use plugin for WordPress.
Hubpages – I no longer recommend HubPages as a place to make money, due to the loss of rankings during the last series of Google updates, however they are still a good resource for link building, as long as you keep your author and article scores high enough.
Ezine Articles – Still a good source of back links and a trickle of referral traffic to your websites. There a ton of other article directories, I recommended spreading your articles around as much as possible vs. publishing a bunch on just one directory. Here is a complete list of article directories that allow back links. A few also offer revenue sharing.
After The Deadline – browser plugin that checks spelling and grammar before you publish anything online. This works much better than other basic spell checkers. It’s also available as a stand alone WordPress plugin.
