Default Enough is Enough

I was answering a few questions from some of my users on Top-Affiliate.com on what tools I use to conduct business online. Sooo...I decided to create a site based just around that.

I've purchased thousands of dollars in marketing tools over the past 5 years and you know what? Most of them were pretty useless or the principles behind them have since gone the way of the dodo.

There are really two main principles that will always be the meat and potatoes of marketing your business online:
link popularity
content
That's really it. Everything else is secondary. Including onpage search engine optimization (which is why I do not recommend hiring a firm to do this for you. You can do it yourself unless time is your real hurdle.)

Anyhow, with the hundreds of internet marketing tools and resources that saturate the web nowadays it's hard for a new marketer to decide what to invest in. Many of these "tools" last for a few months or if you're lucky a year before they become obsolete. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

IMHQ.net, Internet Marketing HQ, is my list of tools and resources I use on a daily basis to manage, enhance and conduct my business. The tools and principles you'll see listed on this site just plain work. You will not see any tools or resources on here I do not personally use.

I just launched this site so please give me some time to get good information on there for you. I plan on having Camtasia Studio tutorials on all of the software I use so you can actually see how it works. This helps me make a decision on purchasing a product that's hundreds of dollars MUCH easier.

In the meantime please feel free to jog over there and signup for my periodic newsletter....and I do mean periodic (I'm busy!), so I can inform you of its official launch.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Linda I'm going to be putting a LOT OF TIME into this site. It's something I feel very strongly about. I think a lot of new hardworking marketers get disenfranchised with internet marketing from the very start when they do not experience the type of results the products they've bought claim.

Most new marketers don't have disposable cash to do a crapshoot with an unproven tool or marketing methodology. So...I'm blowing the whistle and doing some cleanup on the NET. I'm sure I'll receive some hate mail in the process....but bad publicity is good publicity.

I'm looking forward to this project. In addition, I'm looking for authority contributors. So if you're reading this and are an established internet marketer please register on IMHQ.net. I'll review your credentials and upon approval I'll upgrade your membership to Author. Once this site picks up steam you will receive a good deal of exposure from your posts.

Authors can submit their posts to the following Internet Marketing Categories:

Internet Marketing - Catchall
Adsense
Affiliate Programs
Article Marketing
Banner Advertising
Building Traffic
Click Bank
Converting Traffic
Link Popularity
Search Engine Optimization
Site Promotion
Traffic Analysis
Viral Marketing

very nice. Checking it out some more lateron. The best list of tools is always the one that you are using yourself. Nothing beats first hand feedback and advice.

Hey Stephen,

Your site is still down... I'd love to have the list of programs you recommend. Are you going to get the site up again? If not, would you mind posting the titles here?

Thanks!

Murphy's law. After talking about JOOMLA with another 5 Star member I decided to try that out on IMHQ.Net. Sorry for the inconvenience. After I hammer out some issues I should have that up and running in no time. =)

Recommend you hold off on the 1.5 version. I installed, it works so-so and doesn't have all the bells and whistles yet. Stay stable!
