There are a lot of products and services out there claiming they can help you make money. Below is the very short list of products that I both use and endorse. I’m confident in their ability to help you build your business and I believe they’re worth every penny you’ll pay for them. While there are many other products that will also help you make money – and many more that claim to but won’t – these are the ones by which I’m willing to stand:

phpBay

Developed by Wade Wells, phpBay allows you to build complete websites utilizing the eBay Affiliate Program and begin making money – and lots of it. I have written a phpBay Start To Finish Tutorial that many people have found useful. Perhaps even more compelling is phpBay’s ability to extend your existing site with a “related products” area or a “marketplace”, generating dynamic auction listings based on keywords, categories and many other criteria. It isn’t JUST for standalone ebay auction sites. phpBay is an incredibly flexible piece of software that is well worth your money as long as the eBay Affiliate Program remains stable (and you don’t do something to get banned).

WFReview

One of the best ways to create a dynamic website that encourages user participation is through the use of customer reviews. Make it a WordPress Plugin, add a ton of features like the ability to upload CSV databases to create thousands of posts on-the-fly and the abilty to set different review criteria for different categories and you’ve got WFReview. Developed by WickedFire member BBWolfe, he has been vocal about his product and for good reason – it rocks! I’ve created a WFReview Tutorial for Local Area Niche Directories and there will be more to come. With a support forum and continual maintenance/upgrades, I’m excited for the continued growth of this awesome Wordpress Extension.
