These are the tools that I consistently use to make money online:
Authority Site Center: I have been a member of Authority Site Center since the beginning of 2006. They gave me the training and tools I needed to put up a blog and make money with it.
Whether you are interested in joining Authority Site Center or not, click on that link to download the information-packed ebook Authority Black Book. It is full of lists for top bookmarking sites, information about how to get visitors to your site, and much more. Read it through and you will know more about blogging than most blog owners today.
Authority Site Center has hours and hours of training videos, webinars, and audios. They also have weekly chat sessions that are especially helpful for new members, where you are free to ask questions or discuss problems you are having.
Authority Site Center also has an active forum where you can ask questions, and a Support Desk where you can go with problems.

Near the end of 2007 Jack Humphrey started a membership site for those interested in the power of social news sites, social bookmarking sites, and other ways of getting links. He calls it Social Power Linking, and it is definitely the place to be if you want to increase the number of visitors to your site with the latest in Web 2.0 tactics.
The Internet is constantly changing, and joining this group is one way you can keep up with all the new traffic generation techniques and stay ahead of most of the other online marketers out there.
I joined right away and have learned a lot. He provides a lot of learning resources as well as a forum that acts like a mastermind group. There are already over 300 people signed up in just the first month, and all those people signed up just through word of mouth. No big gurus were involved in promoting it.
Once you join you are allowed to sign up as an affiliate. If you want to read more about it, check it out here: Social Power Linking

Keyword Elite: This is the program I use for researching keywords. I wrote a review of it that you can read here: Keyword Elite Review. There are also two videos on that review.

Submit Your Article: This monthly membership site submits a certain number of articles to hundreds of article directories. Submitting articles to article directories is a great way to increase traffic to your site and to get backlinks.
Many of the major Internet marketers such as Jim Edwards and Jack Humphrey use Submit Your Article for their own articles.
Now Submit Your Article is even better. They have a new program that will take your article and make a bunch of different articles with it. The search engines like this because it looks like more original content. The article directories like this because they no longer all have identical articles. This gets you even more traffic.

Once you have your blog up and have made a few posts, you will want to create an RSS feed for your site. Take it one step further by submitting your RSS feed to 65 sites where your feed can get picked up and used by other people. RSS Submit simplifies this. Instead of taking a few hours to submit your RSS feed to all these sites, this program does it automatically.
