Recommended Resources
In this section, I recommend several products that I consider as money making programs or vital tools to build a successful online presence. There are both free and paid products, but whatever the cost of purchase is, they are all worth the investment. I simply do NOT recommend products that I think are not worth the time or money spent.
I firmly believe that education is the key to being successful, period. Not just in online business, but in everything you do in life. You need to educate yourself, but you also need to take action. To achieve success you will need to combine knowledge and action.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS
This section is for products that I own or co-own. All these products will both help you learn and take action. Remember, the most important ingredient to making money online is education, but if you don’t take action, you will NOT make any money online.

ViralUrl is a link cloaker (to protect your affiliate links) with a built-in list builder, a downline mailer, a system mailer (for upgraded members only) as well as advertising tools and an affiliate program.

I'm an avid fan of your blog, and the content is always top notch - great reading. I'm always impressed with the variety of content and the way you get all the important steps outlined for processes, but still manage to keep it short and simple - few people do that quite as well.

I have the intention, in a short future, to join Google adsense program. (hé no, it’s not done yet!)
My “problem” and interrogations are multiple !
Firstly, my 2 pages personnals are totally “trash pub/banners” at 98% for a small 2% of real Poor content. So not a great idea to work with that. Worst, they are made using free web pages hosting (no domain name) . Second nice reason to forget about them !
I find, maybe, an alternative.
I got the opportunity to work with a customisable template website for affiliates.
It’s the kind of template already build (automated-turnkey) to display Clickbank products (yes I am affiliate) in a turkey portal + adsence integrated (must add the id), some place for others affiliates programs (like amazone or ebay products displayed) and with all contents automatically renewed by feeder.
Do you think, or believe, that it could be a great way to earn a little more (maybe better that trying nothing for sure, but does it worth the guess)
thank you
