Recommended Internet Resources

As a subscriber to Self Defense Biz, you'll be provided with advice, products and services to help you set up and grow your Internet business.

In the meantime, I'll save you time and money by letting you in on some of the reputable resources that I've come across. There are no "duds" on this page!

Each of these products or services is something I've purchased, read, tried or evaluated myself. I feel that they are legitimate, valuable and useful. However, you'll still need to do your homework in deciding which are best for your business plans.


Domain Name Registration : If you're serious about getting set up on the Internet, you're going to need your own domain name. DirectNIC is the domain registration service I use for my domain names (I have several). Use the search box below to see if the domain name you want is still available.


Web Hosts : Host 4 Profit is without a doubt the best web host company if you have plans on doing business on the Internet. Its the only one I'd use and the only one I recommend. It's has loads of powerful features and a ton of member benefits that make it an excellent place to host your web site.


Planning And Designing Web Sites


Creating Web Pages Yourself

I strongly recommend that you learn how to create your own web pages.

1st Page 2000 is an exellent FREE HTML editor that will do just about everything that you need it to. I use it myself and highly recommend that you download it yourself.


Building & Maintaining Your Mailing List

If you web site doesn't ask people to sign up to your mailing list, you're not going to go very far in the Internet business. By offering a newsletter, special reports and incentives, people can be persuaded to give you their permission to contact them again. Trying to manage your mailing list manually is can be a nightmare!

Optin Lighting is a CGI script that is fully compatible with Host 4 Profit web sites (as well as other web hosts companies) that allows you to automate sign ups, unsubscribes and sending email to the people on your list. It is DEFINITELY a worthwhile investment.


Start your own Newsletter or Ezine

Publishing free newsletter or "ezine" is one of the best ways to build credibility, spread your message and build your list of people who have given your permission to do business with them. It can also be quite profitable. Lee Beson's excellent eBook, Amazing Ezine Tactics tells you exactly what to do and how to do it.


Developing your own digital information products

Information is the most valuable commodity on the Internet. Whether your trying to bolster your offline self-defense business activities like club enrollment, seminar attendance and equipment sales or you're hoping to profits with online you're going to have to capitalize on the power of digital information products or ebooks.

Profit Pulling Ebooks is a brilliant written by Internet guru Jimmy D. Brown. It's an excellent resource that teaches you how you can make money and promote your self-defense business both online and off by giving away free ebooks.

If you want to develop and prift directly from your ebooks, the best resources I've come accross are Marlon Sander's "The Amazing Formula That Sells Like CrazyThe Amazing Formula" and "Create Your Own Products In A Flash.

Joe Vitale and Jim Edwards also put and excellent ebook resource together called "7 days," that goes into great detail in exactly how to get your ebook written as quickly and professionally as possible.

Take Credit Card Orders Online

ClickBank : If you're going to sell downloadable products such as ebooks, then Clickbank is the way to go. They'll not only manage all credit card transactions and direct your customer to a download page but they'll even manage your affiliate program for you!

PayPal: If you are going to sell "hard goods" through your web site, accept subscriptions or membership fees, the PayPal is the way to go.

Did you know that an attractive, professional-looking cover graphic can increase ebook sales by as much as 3500%!!! If you are going to sell digital information, you need a graphic for your product to build a perceived value for your prospective buyers.
