So, you’re probably wondering what exactly are the Tools for success online? They are actually pretty simple, and at the bare minimum a must have for you to succeed online. I suggest, if you don’t have them that you make them a priority to get, so that you will be on the right track.

The first thing you will need is, a Domain Name.

A domain name indicates that you are a serious player and you know the importance of brand recognition. Your customized domain name will allow your customers to remember your site easily and will add a level of trust and integrity to your site. You will want to try to get a domain name that is short, memorable, keyword rich and  easy to spell. These are just a few tips to go by when selecting a domain name. You may need more than one, depending on what you are marketing.

The second thing you need is, a Hosting Provider.

If you are going to create a blog, a website, or a capture page, you must be able to share it with the world. Unless you are using an all in one set up, which I don’t recommend you will need a hosting provider. A web page will start out as just a file. And you will design this web page (file) with a web designer software.

In order to get this webpage live and viewable on the net, you will need to use a FTP (file protocol transfer) client to upload it to your webpage(file) to the internet and onto your server.

Both FileZilla, and CoreFtp are free, and offer a user friendly interface, but there are others. There are tons of hosting companies out there for you to chose from. The best way to chose is to look at review sites, and recommendations from others. I’ve been with my provider for several years, and I’ve never had any problems.

You can expect to pay between $8-10 per month for a basic package. You will receive access to the control panel, which is where you will be able to manage email and FTP accounts.

Last but not least, you need a Autoresponder Account.

An autoresponder is one of the single most import tools for success online that you must possess. It is an absolute must have, unless you are not looking to be around long online.  What is an autoresponder you may ask… simply put, it’s an email that is sent out automatically.

I’m sure you have received them when you have purchased a product online or when you have put your name and email address in someone’s opt in form on their website to receive information about a product or perhaps a free gift. The email that you receive is written before hand, so that the business owner doesn’t have to do it manually each time he makes a sale, or someone requests more information.

These messages are sent in specific intervals that the business owner specifies and are used to build rapport, establish a relationship, and ultimately to offer other products and services that may be of interest to their subscriber.

There are numerous companies to chose from when it comes to which autoresponder to use. You will need to make a decision based on what you are wanting to do. Some autoresponder software companies will not allow you to import leads from purchased listed, while others will. Make sure you research the pros and cons, once you have narrowed your selection down. I ultimately had to end up using two companies, because they both serve different purposes. Using these 3 tools  will ensure your  success online.
