    Hey Guys,

    Just thought of starting a thread for people to share the tools they're using. This would help newbies to know their options and in turn choose those that fit their objectives best.

    1. Hosting: Hostgator
    2. Domain Name Registrar: NameCheap
    3. Autoresponder: AWeber
    4. Payment Gateway: PayPal
    5. Content Management System (CMS): Wordpress
    6. Marketing Funnel & Landing Pages: OptimizePress
    7. Tracking Tool: ClickMeter

    Original Post: MMO Game (Part 2) - Tools Needed

    Do share your insights and experience with the a/m tools, or about the ones you're currently using.

    My 2 cents.
    Alvin

    Thanks....I think basic tools to start an Online business is Social media marketing. Social media marketing allow us to network, to find people with like interest and to meet people who can become a friend by using Social media sites.

    It seems Hostgator isn't as popular anymore than before. I use them myself for shared hosting and haven't gotten any issues so far yet so i can't really agree with all the bad comments they get lately.

    For the marketing funnels i use 1minutesites, which is basically a similar product as Leadpages. It's a monthly subscription product but not everybody is using it like Leadpages so the conversions are higher, and it saves me a lot more time in comparison to Optimizepress so it's definately worth it -> Time = Money and especially in this business. :)

    I would suggest looking into 'hootsuite' for social media management. Would also add that to the tools list :)
