Resource List

The list below are the tools I use and recommend to all my clients to make the most of their marketing efforts. You'll see everything from scheduling to course creation and site hosting. Make sure to check this page often as it will be updated with new information frequently.

1. Kajabi - Of course, that's the platform you're on. It's the best website, course building, landing page creator and email marketing platform I've ever used.

Patrice Washington said to me, "It doesn't matter what others are doing, they don't have the Vernon Ross Secret Sauce", I laughed but she was 100% right!

I realized that “imperfect action” beats “perfect inaction” any day! 

How was I going to market, sell, and fulfill on my digital products and consulting? 

I've used Wordpress and hundreds of plug-ins but nothing really worked well. I needed hosting, email marketing and shopping cart software.

Give it a test drive and see if it’s something that might help you.

Other Course / Cart Platforms

An alternative to Kajabi is SamCart. You may recognize them as a cart platform that you have in addition to a course  platform but they've have evolved  into so much more including a full course platform that you can use to offer your online courses and their annual cost is much more affordable than Kajabi. Samcart not only gives you pre-built templates you can also build membership sites, and everything you need to build a successful business.It's an amazing platform I use and highly recommend.

1. MissingLettr - A social scheduler that creates and post a 12-month promotion each time it finds new content from your podcast or blog. Yes, 12 months of content from one blog post or podcast that  gets scheduled on the social media networks you choose automatically! You can also create other post and schedule them as well. It's one of my favorite tools and one I use often.
2. Promo Republic - Much like MissingLettr but it provides a great looking post that can be used as-is or customized to fit your need.  This tool is great for keeping your social profiles full of fresh content.  Think how can this apply to podcasting as you build your posting calendar.
3. Book Like a Boss - Scheduling tool for services.  Book Like A Boss is a great tool for creating custom invites to make scheduling podcast a snap.  Once you get your page setup it's pretty hands off but does a great job of keeping you and your guest on time and on the same page.
4. Repurpose.io - This is the tool Patrice mentioned on the call that will publish your content everywhere you want. I use this to publish to YouTube from a Facebook live. I prefer Missing Lettr or PromoRepublic for creating content for each channel.
5. Relay That - I use this for creating images for interviews I post to social. You upload an image and the program creates several versions you can quickly use everywhere. One of my secret weapons for creating a months worth of post images in 2 minutes.
6. Headliner.app - Ever seen social media post with a progress bar and text, but didn't know how they were created? Headliner is the app that does it for you and best of all it's FREE!

Virtual Summits

One of the best tools for virtual summits I've seen and have used for clients is Hey Summit Finally a online summit that takes all the work out of the planning. They do it all for you including taking payments.

Webinars

I use Webinar Ninja for one reason. It's a real Webinar platform! Zoom is great for meetings but for a much lower price you get full webinar functionality and the ability to build your business though webinars. It's a great tool.

Podcast Hosting

Blubrry - If you've had the opportunity to go to any of the podcasting conferences you've probably seen their booth. A great company that I'm helping with some enterprise clients. Great hosting that encourages you to own your RSS feed and gives you a free Wordpress site along with IAB certified stats, vital if you're working with sponsors.

Podbean - Another great hosting service that Patrice host her podcast on so it's always a top contender for affordability and dependable service.

Soundwise - This one is new and really interesting if you want a quick way to create custom content. I recommend this for authors that want to avoid Amazon and be able to own their own audience.
