Money Making Tools & Resources

Today I was thinking, what’s something really cool I could add to my blog that would help make people even more money? Marketing Tools! Everyone loves stats, and even more to try and beat your best numbers. Your stats can be anything from Alexa ranking, where you are listed in the search engines, or even how fast your blog is growing. I put together a quick list of sites that have really been helpful over the past few years. Some of them you may have heard of, some may be new to you. The list is short, but will be continually growing as I come across new sites and hear from you guys with new submissions and feedback. To visit the new "Marketing Tools" page, you can click here or simply find the "Tools" link in the header of all pages. Please feel free to comment with any other cool tools and helpful web sites you have come across.

Pool.com Backorder Domains

Everyone has domains they want, but unfortunately they are most likely already registered. I was lucky enough to register my name, Zac Johnson(.com) back in 2000. Unfortunately someone else had my full name of Zachary Johnson(.com). Even though I prefer "Zac" over "Zachary", it would still be cool to have both. Whoever it was that owned ZacharyJohnson.com, just used the site as a one page personal resume. I had emailed the domain owner a few times and asked if he was interested in selling the domain for $500. I sent the email a few more times and never heard back from him. Yesterday, out of the blue I got an email from Pool.com saying the domain ZacharyJohnson.com had dropped and was picked up for my account. How cool is that! Instead of paying the guy $500 for the domain, I just had to wait a couple years and got it for $60, which went to Pool.com just for picking it up! (you only pay pool.com if they actually get the domain for you) I haven’t used Pool.com in a while, but I used to check them almost daily for their latest domain drops and pickups. I had made a list in my account of a bunch of domains that I wanted if they should ever not be renewed. (never expecting to get any of them) Amazingly enough ZacharyJohnson.com was the first domain for it to actually work! I am so happy with Pool.com and highly recommend them to all if you are trying to get that special domain name that is also taken!

Convert Any File to PDF

Today’s post is a bit short, but still a goodie. This blog, ZacJohnson.com will be featured in the next issue of Revenue Magazine (which will be given out at Affiliate Summit East as well). I had to send over an image in pdf format for Revenue to print the copy for me. Unfortunately I only had Acrobat Reader… which won’t convert files for you.

I did a quick search online and came across PDF Online. A great web site that will automatically convert your files into a pdf format, without having to download anything. After going through their quick three step process, I had my pdf file sent to my email. I then sent it off to Revenue and all is well. Just wanted to let you know about this great new site I came across today!
