THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO SUCCEED AT EVERY LEVEL
I am often asked for recommendations on different tools, training and services related to videos, blogging and affiliate marketing. So, I have put together this list of websites. There’s no hype or fluff here—just the very best stuff that I have used myself and can strongly recommend.
I’ve always believed in transparency on the web and so I am disclosing that this page contains affiliate links, meaning I get a small commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links, at no cost to you.
YouTube
- Ranking and Automation – Video Marketing Blaster – Automatic video title, description and tags generator for ranking high on YouTube, analyzing your competitors and keeping track of your video rankings. Watch this video, where I walk through how I use it to upload videos and here is a demo video. Video Marketing Blaster gives a money back guarantee, so you can give a try.
- Video thumbnail creation –If you don’t have fancy design skills, I highly recommend using Thumbnail Blaster. You can create powerful video thumbnails to increase your video click through rate to get video views. It targets a viral mindset and get’s your audience’s eyes drawn to your YouTube or Facebook video thumbnails. Another one with a money back guarantee.
- Text to speech with natural voice – Speechelo If you want to do voiceovers for your videos without spending each and every time hiring someone, Speechelo is the most natural voice I’ve come across. It uses artificial intelligence voice generators. Apart from English, it also covered another 21 languages. Also, comes with a money back guarantee. Use it and see.
- YouTube as a business – Tube Mastery and Monetization teaches how to start, grow, and monetize a hyper-profitable YouTube channel from complete scratch. I am a subscriber of Matt’s YouTube channel and I have watched him deliver valuable advice. So, I was happy when he created this course recently.
- Online video creator software – Vidnami allows you to produce professional looking videos (without any video editing skills!) with a few minutes.
Blogging
- All in one SEO – Morningscore includes a Keyword Rank Tracker, Competitor Analysis Tools, Full Backlink Profile Tool, Google Health (OnPage Crawler) Tool, Smart SEO Suggestions, SEO Project Management/Goal Tracking Tool and more. Similar products which offers the same features cost a fortune! Morningscore pricing is reasonable and they offer a 14 day free trial with full features. No credit card required.
- Hosting – Over the years I have tried many hosting companies and narrowed it down to one. SiteGround has delivered solid uptime for a few years now. Their site speed is pretty good. They also give you free SSL on all plans. Pricing is good if you take advantage of the longest term possible. They offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee on all shared hosting plans.
- Ebook creation – Sqribble Creating an ebook from scratch where you have design cover pages, page formatting, color combinations etc is time consuming if you do it yourself. If you hire someone to do this for you, it can be expensive. This tool has great template which you can fill in and create professional looking ebooks with minimum effort.
Affiliate Marketing
Super Affiliate System is great for those who haven’t made their first dollar online, but it’s also a great program for those who may be making a few hundred dollars a day, or week, and want to up their game significantly. The Super Affiliate System is very much “newbie friendly”, and John does a great job at making it easy to follow, whether you’re 19 or 90!
ClickBank University 2.0 delivers the latest up to date strategies, methods and tactics for you build your ClickBank business rapidly. The training covers 2 key areas.

Email Marketing
- Email Automation – Mailerlite offers a free plan up to 1000 subscribers with most features that you require to get started. You can create landing pages from the templates they offer for free, setup an automated email sequence and even do A/B testing of emails with the free plan. They don’t even ask for credit card details when getting the free plan. Click here to watch the video tutorial I created to show how to create free email lists and landing pages with Mailerlite.
- Lead magnets – In order to get name and email address, you need to give away something of value. You can spend time creating your own giveaways, but this PLR site has a wide collection of resources you can use, at a very low cost. (You can also give away these stuff as bonus products for purchasing through your affiliate link)
Social Media
Facebook group automation – One of the free traffic methods I use to promote videos and affiliate products is Facebook Groups. The downside is that I need to spend a lot of time manually posting on Facebook groups. Most of the tools I looked at were expensive. Recently I came across PilotPoster, which has a great feature set like posting to multiple groups, automating posting to groups, unique ids to avoid getting banned! and much more features. This has been a great asset for affiliate marketing.
