This is a guest post by CJ who is a full-time blogger and you can read his blog at AffiliateGroundz.
Now, when when i say “places”, I most definitely could have been a little more specific. Because the 10 places you need to visit before you die have nothing to with traveling! I’m talking about places on the internet! I’ve put together a list of 10 places you absolutely must visit if you want to make money online.
See, a lot of people are caught up on the lie that they need to spend money in order to make money. Well that’s just not true at all. I’m going to to list a combination of tools, blogs, and other resources that I use to make money on the internet. And oh yeah, when I say you need to visit these 10 places before you die, I mean, you need to visit these 10 places before the end of the week. They’re all free, so there’s nothing to lose!
My List Of Places You Need To Check Out
1. Audience Analysis
Quantcast.com – Quantcast is an audience analysis tool that’s incredibly useful for anyone trying to promote anything. I use Quancast on a regular basis before I even think about creating a campaign for a product I want to promote. With Quantcast, you can save the time it takes to try and figure out your audience and learn your audience’s demographics with the click of a button! Quancast is a must for any affiliate marketer.
2. Ebook Creation
PrimoPDF.com – Ever wanted to create an Ebook but didn’t want to spend the money for an Ebook creator. Well here’s the thing, creating an Ebook doesn’t have to cost you a dime. PrimoPDF let’s you create an Ebook straight from a microsoft word document. If you’ve wanted to create an Ebok for a while but just never had the tools, now you’ve got what you need.
3. Screen Capture
Jing.com – A great way to promote your website is to make your own videos where you teach people how you do things. The best part is that you can do this all straight from your home computer, don’t have to spend a dime, and don’t need a camera. Jing screen capture is an awesome resource.
4. Blogging Tips
RobsWebTips.com – RobsWebTips is run by a teenage blogger named Rob Rammuny. Before checking out RobsWebTips, I was already making a lot of money as an affiliate marketer, but had no idea where to begin when it came to the secrets of running a successful blog. Well within the past couple of weeks, I’ve learned more about blogging than I’ve learned in the past few months. RobsWebTips.com is definitely a favorite in my book.
5. Niche Finding
DMOZ.org – Making money on the internet has become really popular really quickly and lately it’s become even harder to find a niche that isn’t overpopulated. When I run into the problem of not being able to come up with a niche myself, I go to the DMOZ directory and just browse. With all the topics it has to offer, it’s hard not to find a new niche by the end of your visit.
6. Social Bookmarking
SocialMarker.com – I don’t have to sit here and explain what Social bookmarking is, but something we can all agree on is the fact that social bookmarking can be extremely tedious. Social Marker lets you submit your link to all of the social bookmarking sites at once. What a time saver!
7. Web Stats
GoogleAnalytics.com – Google Analytics plays a huge roll in the success of all of my sites. A lot of people run their online businesses having no idea how many visitors they’re getting, which pages the visitors are stopping by and statistics of the sort. Google Analytics takes minutes to install, and can make the difference between an average website and a profitable one.
8. Keyword Tool
SemRush.com – The Google keywords tool is awesome, but SemRush offers a few more features. With SemRush, you get to see details like what page of Google your landing page is on, keywords bringing traffic to that page, and much more. SemRush has to be my favorite keyword tool by far.
9. Flickr
Flickr.com – The fact is that people love pictures. If they see a huge chunk of text and no pictures anywhere, they’re most likely going to leave the page. That’s why I love Flickr. With Flickr you have access to millions of high quality images. Be sure to start using Flickr on a regular basis and add pictures to your content.
10. Forum
WarriorForum.com – WarriorForum is definitely my favorite forum on the internet. Believe it or not, you can learn most of the information you’ll find in all of those Ebooks out there that you have to pay for at WarriorForum.com. Check out some of the posts at WarriorForum for yourself. There’s a lot of great content.
My Last Words
That’s all I’ve got for you guys today! I’m telling you, you guys need to check out these sites. They’re all free and all they can do is help you out. The least you can do for yourselves is check them out. If you don’t see yourselves using anything they have to offer then it is what it is, but hopefully this info helped. Good luck!

The title really caught my attention but as I rest the post I came to know the reality. But yes you are right about “The place you mist visit before you die'” thing. These places or may I say tools are critically essential if you really want to make a good amount of money online

Just to let you know, You can Create a PDF (eBook) Directly through Microsoft Office 2007 (Word).
When saving the document, go to save as, and click on ‘PDF or XPS’ and it will save as a PDF file.
But if you are using Office 2003, you will need a third-part tool, like you mentioned, Primo PDF.
If you are using Office 2003, then Primo PDF is the best option available, as the author (CJ) explained.
I have used Jing,Flickr and Google analytics.I know about Dmoz but dut after reading your article i know some other great resources specially keyword tool.
Very good list CJ. There are a couple resources I need to check out, and agree with the rest. Hmm, smartbloggerz.com wasn’t on the list. Whatsup withat! 😀
Thanks for your awesome collection of webmaster tools. Among all your collections, I am using Warrior Forum, Analytics, Flickr and DMOZ. Of course, I will try other useful tools listed in this list.
These certainly are some great tools! Most of them were new to me and I’m really glad that I found this article. The first tool Quantcast was really the best find – it is just awesome! The analysis, made with it can prove to be incredibly useful. The SemRush keyword tool also brings some nice features.
Keep up the great work guys!
Appreciate the mention here CJ, glad to see that my site has helped you out 😉
LOL isn’t too much to saying “before you die” haha…but i know it just a joke.
What is the (+) of “Jing” than another screen capture software just like “screen recorder” or “camtasia”? Thanks about socialmarker url, it’s help me save time to promote my article. Usually, i do it one by one and spend too much time.
Anyway, nice article.
