You can't row a boat without an oar or build a  house without a hammer. And, you can't build an online business without  essential Internet marketing tools. Sadly, thousands try  (unsuccessfully) everyday.
Those who do use online tools are  generally paying far too much for them because they haven't yet looked  into the alternative. I'll tell you about that in a minute, but first...
What's  the most important online tool we all need? A website, of course. No  brainer. How else would  potential online customers find out if we have  what they need?
Next, we should at least have an autoresponder to  help automate our marketing efforts and an ad tracker to keep track of  which ads are pulling and which are a waste of time. These two are a  "must have".
Hold up a minute...
Before we go any further,  it's important to mention that I don't recommend using a complimentory  autoresponder, ad tracker or any other no-cost marketing tool. You never  really get something for nothing. We all understand that, right?
Who,  in their right mind, is going to "give" you a professional marketing  tool without somehow extracting something from you in return? A crazy  multi-millionaire?
No-cost autoresponders, for example, usually  have ads at the top of the message your responder sends out. Do you  really want your potential customer to see someone else's ad on your  promo message?
A good autoresponder generally costs around $20  monthly and a decent ad tracker around $20 a month. That's $40 for only  two essential online tools. There's no long a need to pay that much!
Those  who sell online tools at those prices will give all kinds of reasons  why theirs are worth the high prices. And, maybe they are. If the  product is good and the buyer is happy, I don't have a problem with them  charging what the buyer will pay.
That's capitalism at work. We once paid those prices. Now we don't. We found a better way.
So, what is the alternative to paying high prices for online tools (without having to give up professional quality)?
It's  called "bundled services". This is when a company takes multiple  products or services and bundles them into a neat package so that the  consumer gets several services at a considerable lesser price than if  they bought them separately.
You've probably noticed the major  telecommunications and TV cable companies bundling services over the  past year. It's very effective. The consumer gets more for less and the  companies sell more products and services. Both come out ahead.
Warning...
Look  for an Internet marketing tools company that offers "solid" tools and  not "fluff" or hype. Those that offer fluff are only interested in  taking your money and giving you as little as possible. This increases  their profits, but lightens your wallet  and gives you little of  substance in return.
Fluff stuff can be things like: eCourse  training (instead of "live" support), an eBook bonus that you can get  anywhere for nothing, "insider secrets" reports, Etc.  Things that are  not workable tools at all.
Solid tools are things like: an  autoresponder & list manager, ad tracker, website hosting, URL  rotator system, online conferencing system, "live" training &  support, Etc.  Workable tools and solid support that actually helps in  building your business.
Note:  There is nothing inherently wrong  with eCourse training, eBooks, special reports or other informational  products (in their right place). Trying to pass them off as a substitute  for solid online marketing tools is not the right place.
The  hallmark of a good online tools company (or any type of company) is one  that operates on the "Golden Rule Principle". They give you more in  product "use value" than what you pay.
The products or services  will actually be useful in building your business and the seller makes  sure that you receive an abundance of them.
This creates a happy  and loyal customer who will tell their friends. The customer and seller  both win. So do the friends. That's the way to run a business!
How  can you know when you've found such a company? Look at the product  usefulness. Are the tools solid or fluff? Are you getting your money's  worth or paying for hype?
Are there any Internet marketing tool  companies that operate on the Golden Rule Principle and have also  bundled a useful arsenal of online tools at a really good price?
Not  many. There are a few. Only one or two are extraordinary in that they  give an abundance of solid tools at a really low price.
Do a  Google search (or use your favorite search engine) and type in "Internet  marketing tools". Now you know how to find and get the best online  marketing tools deal for your online business.
