By subscription only, this monthly e-newsletter is loaded with short, "down and dirty" tips to help you with solving the everchanging and growing puzzle of the Internet. This e-zine serves as a place to ask your questions and find the answers. So, send me your burning questions.

We are still celebrating our Second Anniversary! Rather than continuing our discussion of products and product creation this month - don't worry, it will be back next month - I decided to share some of my favorite and also newly discovered resources.

Whether you are designing your own website or have a web designer with whom you are working, you will find each of the following resources incredibly helpful:

RESOURCE #1. Robert Middleton’s Website Toolkit. If you have visited any of my information sites, you know how sold I am on the marketing guru, Robert Middleton. Without a doubt, he knows what he is doing and “walks his talk.” A few weeks ago, he introduced his Website Toolkit.

• The Web Site Toolkit is divided into sections that correspond to each section or key page of a web site. Included in each section is an audio tutorial that you can listen to online (mp3 and Real Audio), a complete transcription of the tutorial as a pdf, a written manual as a pdf and links to web site samples. In addition, there are links to resources such as editors, writers, web designers and useful web and Internet tools and services. To find out all about it click here.

RESOURCE #2. Web Marketing Today. One of the first Web Marketing gurus I learned about early in my Internet enthusiasm was Dr. Ralph F. Wilson. As he says on his website, “We offer the Web's largest source of key information about doing business on the Net - hundreds of articles, thousands of links to resources on e-commerce and Web marketing.” Wilson is another sharing, knowledgeable and sincere teachers.

• When he came to Cleveland the end of April of this year, even though I had moved the day before, I attended his all day seminar. And in person he is even better than on the Web. Visit his site by clicking here, and be sure to sign up for his free e-newsletter - it offers a wealth of information.

RESOURCE #3. Ezine Articles. In the past two weeks, I have received several e-newsletters extolling the virtues of writing articles and submitting them to article sites for distribution. There are many different websites that will take your articles and post them for those who wish to use them, either in a newsletter or on their websites.

• Yes, this is a great way to get yourself known as an expert in your field(s) and also to have links back to your website. I have great respect for Christopher Knight (you will also find a link in the next RESOURCE to his E-Zine Tips), so I would highly recommend submitting to this RESOURCE by clicking here. He allows ten submissions and then will award you if your content is good. His site is, “Serving 43,664 Quality Ezine Articles, By 7,998 Expert Authors.”

RESOURCE #4. EmailUniverse.com. Make sure that you have plenty of time to spend when you visit this site, also run by Christopher Knight who keeps up with all the latest email issues and tips. Knight isn’t afraid to publish his opinions, because he always backs them up with facts.
Knight also includes Google Ads that are not pushy or overdone, but are definitely helpful. You can visit this website by clicking here.

RESOURCE #5. Call To Action: Secret Formulas To Improve Online Results. This book by Brian and Jeffrey Eisenberg has created the latest buzz on the Internet, and I just discovered why. I am a Premium member of Sean D’Souza’s www.5000bc.com (another great RESOURCE) and each month along with the many benefits, we can access an audio interview that Sean records with some of the most interesting Internet people.

• This month’s was with the Eisenbergs. It was terrific - I have already listened to it twice. If you click here, you will find out more about their book and also be able to download a couple of chapters.

BONUS RESOURCES: Two fun programs to play with.

• www.roboform.com - you can try this program free or purchase it for $29.99. I can’t even estimate the time this wonderful helper has saved me with passwords and filling in forms. It is so easy to use and not invasive at all.
• www.goodkeywords.com - I was just introduced to this free program and have already downloaded it. Haven’t actually gotten into using it, but it looks like it is going to be easy and fun!

Have a terrific and productive month!
