Do you constantly struggle with having to spend a large part of your time just looking for the
correct type of website or software program to help you with specific marketing and website
related tasks? Over the last 10+ years of designing, building and marketing hundreds of
websites I know I used to.
About 6 or 7 years ago, I noticed that I was constantly getting frustrated by not being able to
locate specific types of marketing and website design related websites and information
EXACTLY WHEN I needed them. You know how it is…you're in the middle of working on a
marketing project or website and then all of a sudden you need something in particular like
a picture, a research tool or a software program. So you have to stop what you're doing and
then go surf the Internet to try and locate a website that offers exactly what you need, or when
you're surfing you come across a website or a program that you realize you'll probably need
someday, but you forget to bookmark it and then when the time comes, you can't find it again
to save your life. Or, you save it in your "Favorites" and then later when you really need it you
then have to spend 30 minutes or an hour going through 2500 saved sites in your
"Favorites" folder just to find it again.
I'll Give You a Simple Example of a Scenario That Happens to Us All the Time!
Let's say that you would like to create and add a video to your website.
Who will create it? You? Or someone else?
If it's someone else who'll create it, how do you go about finding them? Do they have references? Are the references real or FAKE (like MOST are)? How will you know what's a fair price to pay? Will they make it in the correct format that you need? What if you pay them first, but then you're not happy? Can you get your money back? Questions like these are endless.
If it's you who will make the video, how will you create it? What software will you use? What format is the best to use? Will that format even work on your website? Do you want to buy professional software or would you rather just use free software that's maybe not quite as good? Can you watermark the video with your website or company name on it? And should you even if you can? Again, these questions are almost endless too.
Ok, So Let's Say You've Managed to Get the Video Made and You've Posted It on Your Site…
Now, if you're a reasonably smart Internet marketer then you realize that posting that video all over the Internet has the potential to give your website or business a huge amount of free exposure. After all, almost everyone like watching videos about interesting products or services. The fact that YouTube is one of the top 5 biggest sites on earth is proof of that.
But EXACTLY WHERE do you post the video? Will you yourself post it manually "site-by-site" or should you buy software that will post it to many video sites all at once, saving you a massive amount of time? Better yet, maybe there's a free site where you can do that (which there is). Maybe you are better off paying someone to do it? But how do you find companies or people who offer that particular service? Again, these questions are almost endless.
Did All That Sound Familiar? You Bet It Did!
I could go on and on with questions and possibilities like that, but I think you get the point. Now, multiply that same problem by possibly hundreds of website and marketing issues and it's no wonder that so many people fail at Internet marketing, offline marketing and/or making their website successful. But that's what Internet marketers, website designers and marketing professionals of every type are up against on a daily basis. And it's MASSIVELY FRUSTRATING!
So What's the Solution?
Like I said, 6 or 7 years ago I started collecting, categorizing and indexing EVERY website that I could find that could be directly (or indirectly) useful to me when doing anything related to website creation and promotion, or just marketing in general. Now mind you, I ONLY did this to make my life much easier as I am a full-time, self-employed Internet marketer with over 40 websites of my own and I have been for 13 years.
Then, because all my Internet marketing friends knew that I had all this invaluable information at my fingertips, I became like a human marketing information directory for all of them to draw from since I always willingly supply them with my "classified marketing intel". Then one day my sister was quizzing me about how she could find some "legal" music for a new video she made for her 3,000+ page website and I told her how. She got it instantly...and the music cost her nothing.
She was so impressed that she then suggested that I create a website which would allow her and potentially every other web designer, Internet marketer and marketing professional to have constant access to this incredible array of information whenever they wanted. So that's just what I did. I've created a site that is continuously updated with all the types of websites and info that us marketers and small business owners need. I decided against putting this information in pdf or book form because the information becomes outdated way, way too quickly.
After creating the first version of the website, something really interesting happened, something that quite honestly I never dreamed of. Visitors started sending me THEIR favorite sites, their opinions, and their suggestions. This has caused an exponential growth in the amount of materials on the website, and it will never stop. It has become "everyone helping everyone" and we're all better, more informed, more efficient, more prosperous marketers because of it. We have created a massive website of marketing related information that is CONSTANTLY being updated everyday. Information for marketing types that can be found NO WHERE ELSE, ALL IN ONE PLACE, and for FREE !
So I Suppose You're Wondering Exactly What's on the Website?
How about OVER 5,000 marketing and web design related listings! Below are just some of the most popular main categories on the site. There's also an alphabetized list of sub-categories within many of the main categories.

"I've been in e-commerce since 1998 and I've NEVER seen such a depth of marketing information available – all in one place – as what you've assembled. With the economic downturn, I need every possible tool available to make my website the very best it can be. I tried a tip I found on a copywriting site you list when I was building a new page yesterday, and another tip on a site I found on getting new pages indexed by Google quickly. I made a $2400 sale yesterday, on the same day I added a brand new product. Count me in as a lifetime visitor!"
