Great business resources are sometimes hard to find. Do the work to make your own decisions, but here are a few brief reviews to lead you in the (right?) direction.

Collecting treasured email, name and contact information from the valuable visitors to your website is a must for online business. This service works well (I’ve used it for over three years). A few caveats: it’s a bit slow and can get frustrating when loading new messages, making changes, etc. I like the service, but sometimes dread making changes because of this fact.

Constant Contact is a great resource for sending ezines. They have nice looking templates and a dependable service. They are a little pricey, but a must if you want to do business online.

My sister and I got involved in direct sales (selling Beauticontrol) and LOVE the stuff we got from Direct Sales Boot Camp Success System. It cost about $100 (I think it’s a little more now), but it had tons of good info for us newbies. They have some videos and audios now so it’s a little more, but probably even better. It took us longer than the advertised 30 days, but we started seeing some good results in about two months (but we only work part-time!)

Alexandria Brown Online Business Success Blueprint. Very good, very pricey, very curious about how she has grown such a big business. She is good, but none of the info is that revelatory. I think it’s best for truly new entrepreneurs who need to figure out how to make and online splash. I like Ali, she’s is knowledgable and helpful, but she talks a little too much sometimes. Basically good program (but expensive!)

Go Articles articles and posting. This site is super easy to navigate and post. It doesn’t create difficult “wait to get approved” programs and it seems to always have good articles. I like others, too, but this is a good, free go to article posting site.
