As we wrap up 2008, it’s time to get busy creating and promoting our websites so that we can enjoy a great 2009 online. With “newbies” and mom and pop business owners who want to make a go of their websites in mind, here are my top choices of free or dirt-cheap resources offered during the year 2008. Use these and start making money online!
Pick #5 - CREATE QUALITY GRAPHICS.
Instant Banner Creator is more than just an online banner maker — you can create a wealth of attractive, fast loading graphics with point and click ease. The service will host your images for you, give you fonts and clip art to work with, enable you to create attractive corner ads for your “peel-away” ad programs, and even have you creating stunning squeeze pages. The graphic output is professional quality. Whether you are “graphically challenged” or just don’t have the time to spend tweaking your graphics and banners with Photoshop, Instant Banner Creator is a must have membership to start out your 2009 Internet work. I don’t know how long this will remain free, so check it out while it lasts.
Pick #4 – GOOGLE’S NEW SEARCH-BASED KEYWORD TOOL.
Google has a number of tools that you can use to identify the keywords and phrases that will attract visitors to your site. Earlier this year, the search engine giant created the beta version of its “search-based keyword tool” which will help you identify hot keywords by niche or by competing websites. If you have a mom and pop business, this is a “must use” tool to use when writing content for your websites and identifying potentially profitable sales items. Particularly useful is the “see top keywords across all categories” function. Learn more about Google’s search-based keyword tool here.
Pick #3 – ARTICLE MARKETING AUTOMATION.
Article Marketing Automation — or AMA, for short — is absolutely magnificent. If you host a Wordpress blog, you know what a challenge it can be to create new content. AMA is a free solution that delivers quality articles to your blog automatically, when you want them. You can specify keywords, niches, originality, and whether or not you want to manually approve an article before accepting it on your blog. If you have monetized your Wordpress blog with Adsense or affiliate links, the AMA articles may help increase your blog’s revenue because you will be constantly updating it with fresh, niche-specific content. You can submit as many blogs as you wish and start receiving content today, absolutely free. Register your blogs here.
AMA also offers a paid membership where you can submit your articles to thousands of different sites, generating a ton of inbound links that are essential for your marketing purposes. The membership fee is only $47 a month and if you use the system, you should easily recoup your membership fee. Read more about the benefits of AMA here — but before you sign up, consider my #1 pick where you can get a discounted AMA membership fee.
Pick #2 – JEFF JOHNSON’S SEO BLOG SOFTWARE.
In all my years on the Internet, I have never seen anything so powerful as Jeff Johnson’s SEO blog software. I’ve had a test blog that’s totally automated and selling over $400 in products within a month of installing the software. Right before Christmas, I started work on another blog using this software and started earning Adsense money from it before the site was completed! That blog, which is on my 2009 to-do-list, is still not completed and is still earning money. Coupled with using good keywords in your content, you just cannot go wrong with the SEO blog software, which is an enhanced version of Wordpress. This is powerful, powerful stuff and quite frankly, you’re crazy not to use it because it is free. Add a blog as a backend to your existing domain, create a new domain to drive traffic to your main site, create a new blog to generate Internet sales … the uses are endless and you can use the software on as many websites as you wish. Get your free SEO blog software and start making money in 2009!
Pick #1 – NICHE ROCKETS (GET A DISCOUNT FROM NOT GURU).

Save $57 a month ... Read on!
For “newbies” who have never had a website before to those of us “oldies” who remember building websites with notepad, Niche Rockets has something for everyone. You can take a look at their sales page here – but for practical purposes, don’t sign up at that link because you can get a massive discount by reading the rest of this blurb.
Beyond the items listed on the sales page, you’ll also be getting the following from your Niche Rockets membership:
- A HUGE selection of resale rights packages that you can use to generate income on your sites or personally use. You’ll find everything from ebooks about black mold to writing PLR articles. These resale right packages are constantly updated.
- MASSIVE discounts on excellent products and memberships (such as AMA discussed above). Why pay full price when you can receive deep discounts?
- A free teleconference every other week … and if you miss the call, it’s available for replay within the Niche Rockets membership area. You can submit your questions and hear advice from Internet pros, some of whom are making over seven figures a year (yes, that’s in the millions of dollars per year).
- Members-only free bonuses, such as monthly packets of 200 articles that you can rewrite and use on your websites, in your blogs and in your marketing efforts.
- A busy forum area where you can get tips from the experts.
- The ebooks, videos, product vaults and other materials listed on the sales page.
If you were to buy the individual components of Niche Rockets’ offerings from other vendors, you’d be spending thousands of dollars. At the regular $67 a month price, you’re getting a steal — but as a special VIP, you can get all of this for only $10 a month here at NotGuru.
I joined Niche Rockets back when it was called Keyword Avalanche and its membership offerings were initially focused on portal site generation. I had a gut feeling that it would be worth my membership fees and, due to other obligations, did not even access the membership until a few months after signing up. Since that time, I’ve learned cutting edge marketing strategies and have saved thousands of dollars in software. If you are on any kind of marketing list, I’m sure you receive a lot of hype about the “latest and greatest” programs. At Niche Rockets, you’ll find out which ones are crap and which ones may be worth your while.
Quite frankly, the $10 per month membership is one of the most outrageous deals I’ve ever seen. You’ll be getting ten times the value each month. You can cancel at any time.
In my opinion, Niche Rockets’ special $10 per month membership (available only through private lists) is the #1 bargain of 2008. I don’t know how much longer this huge discount will last, but once you’re in, your membership fee is locked for life at just $10 a month for as long as you remain a member. If you are going to spend anything to launch your 2009 Internet marketing success, I highly recommend Niche Rockets. You can get the special discount by signing up for the list below.
Happy New Year and best wishes for a successful 2009!
