Tools I Use

This is the no BS list of tools that I use. Yes, full of juicy affiliate links. I use all of these tools. I recommend each. They all do what they say they will. They are all helpful to me when I’m building blogs and static sites. I have tried many tools over the last few years. These are the only ones I did not ask for a refund or have stopped using.

nichebot - When I am searching for keywords, this is the first tool I use. I pay monthly for this.

PLRPro - The only PLR service I use. Plenty of monthly content. Plenty of extras for your money. I pay monthly for this service.

Orwell Pro - Groovy little article program. I use it when I’m lazy and need an article to post to a site. This program is underrated IMO.

SEO Elite - I have no idea how I got along without this program. Tells me how many backlinks I need to rank for my keyword. Some dudes used to say that unless you had this program you wouldn’t be effective making money online. I understand that reasoning now. Note: nichebot offers some of the same features.

StoreStacker - My go to program for building niche stores. Easy to set up and extremely comprehensive with Ebay, Amazon, Clickbank anmd Overstock modules.

Wordpress Affiliate Pro - One of the goodies I got for being a member of PLRPro, but when I set up a blog I use this tool to create affiliate links.

Article Marketing Automation - The latest perk for being a member of PLRPro. Create blogs for articles or distribute articles to blogs in the network. Win-win either way. Money making opportunity galore. If you aren’t a member of PLRPro, you’ll pay monthly.

RSS to Blog 4 - I still use this to update blogs with feeds and sometimes articles.

Wordpress Datafeed Import - I build Wordpress blogs for datafeeds that I get mostly from Shareasale. This script makes it easy. (It needs an update though as it works best with older versions of WP, meaning you will have to install WP manually with an older version to use the script effectively. Kind of a pain now but it sure works well when you get everything installed and posting.)

Bookmarking Demon - I caught the tail end of this program before its current demise. We are all waiting on an update. When it worked, it worked well. I hope version 4 is worth waiting for.

XSite Pro - I still build plenty of static sites. I realize everyone prefers WordPress but I like to be diversified. I believe you get a lot for your money with this tool. I can build sites very quickly by importing article packs from PLRPro.

Keyword Elite - This is a great tool that I don’t use as much since I have Nichebot. They both have their place though.

Utility Poster and Video Utility Poster - Allows you to quickly add content to your blog. Utility poster will add a brief snippet and a link to the source of the blog content. Video Utility Poster adds a video to your blog quickly.

Link Luv Post Builder - Like Utility Poster above but cheaper. I use both but if I had to choose between the two I’d be happy with Link Luv.

Blog Content Wizard - Create blog content in seconds.

Looks like a lot of stuff. But I use them all. How? Let’s say I get an article pack from PLRPro. I take the keywords and do research with them at Nichebot. I then see what it will take to rank well with the keywords with SEOElite. I build a blog and use a couple of re-written articles as an initial post. I take a couple of other articles and distribute them via Article Marketing Automation. I then add a folder or subdomain to build a StoreStacker store. I use Nichebot and SEOElite again to determine what keywords I will need to use on the store. I update the blog with OrwellPro, Link Luv and Blog Content Wizard content along with a few Utility Poster posts (If I pull an article via OrwellPro I’ll pad the top and the bottom with a video or some Link Luv just to make it seem a bit different).

The most important tool? Probably Nichebot. I can do all my keyword research in there. SEOElite and Keyword Elite are fantastic and I’d hate to do without them. But I could make do with Nichebot.

Tool I find indispensable? PLRPRO. Simply because I get articles and I received tools like Wordpress Affiliate Pro and Article Marketing Automation for the price of membership. I received great deals on the Elites from my membership as well. I was one of the first in the door a couple of years ago and won’t be leaving anytime soon. Bottom line: the site has saved me money and made me money.

Tool I like better each day? - Blog Content Wizard. I’m done trying to build hundreds of authority sites. As the saying goes: I want to make money not friends. BCW allows me to create blogs for people to visit and click away from. Excellent software.
