Tim’s Tools…

I’ve been asked so many times “what do you use for this?”, or “how to I make that happen…?” I’ve decided the best way is to give you a table of all the tools and software I use, together with the price I paid for it.

I don’t profess to think I know the best tool for every job. I think a lot of personal taste should come into the choice of which you use. However, if you don’t have anything currently, to perform a task you need done, then you may find it listed below.

There is also a good list of open source software available for free download for all manner of tasks here.
Oh - and by all mean, please comment below if you have something to add in a particular category. Just remember, this is a help blog, not an advertising blog - this isn’t an excuse for you to splash your affiliate links everywhere… - But I will allow it if you have something relevant, and particularly useful…
I hope you’ll find it helpful.
I’m sure I haven’t included everything here, so I’ll be adding to it as time goes by, but for now - this is what it looks like…

Howdy Tim! You sure do have a very good selection of software. My problem is I am just starting to work on the internet and finding it very over-whelming.

I just created a blog on http://itisup2me.blogspot.com
It started out to be related to Health but then I added some other information that isn’t related.

My main goal is to have people listem to an 8 minute message 1.212.990.7002 or listen to the recorded audio’s on the ashnow website or listen to the weekly calls > Wed. 9pm, Sat. 1pm, Eastern, 1.212.990.8000 pin 3024#

If you would like to learn about some Nobel Scientists and how to let our body heal itself, please visit ashnow, or listen to a weekly call.

Thanks for all your expertise!

Have a great holiday season and prosperour NEW YEAR!

Hi Tim,
This is very impressive and to me, this is what no one has ever revealed before. Everyone tell you advertise this URL without any direction.
This is just wonderful and I cannot say enough about this blog. We now have a direction to follow. The details you have included makes this one of the best and this seperates you as one of my best mentors.
To Your Success
Happy Holidays

Tim,

I am curious about Clickbank Elite. Is it really worth $47. Do you do that much CB marketing?

Thanks,

Kevin

PS. Thanks for the helpful list.

Hi Tim, I know how busy you are so I just wanted to thank you again. And, if any of your subscribers need help with their advertising, I offer it at no charge.
As you can tell from my ranking at Tim’s Viral Spiral, I manage to stay at the top or near it, so if I can be of help, just let me know.

I can’t wait to see what the prize is that you have in mind for the top 5 finishers! Knowing you, I think I can say without fear of contradiction that it’ll be super!

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Tim,
Excellent post! It’s very interesting to see what software successful IM’ers use. It’s one thing to get emails with recommendations which are actaully hidden affiliate links as you know that the objective is to sell you the recommendation. However to see a real list of useful siftware that is actually being used is great. So many thanks for that.

Hi Tim.
I just checked out your blog and I think it’s really cool. Keep up the good work and from now onwards I’ll be checking your blog regularly. It is hard to see a great list of softwares that must have by an Internet Marketer. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks

Hi Tim

Great list, thanks.

Here’s a useful addition for anyone getting started in Internet marketing who needs AFFORDABLE, integrated autoresponders, broadcast email, shopping cart and searchable catalogue, affiliate program management, membership site management, ad tracking, real-time reporting (and 35% residual commissions on referred sales, every month) — and all for just US$29.95 per month! (And a 30-day trial to set up and test it all for just US$1.00.)

By the way, that link is your affiliate link as my way of saying thanks.
