The ONE tool you'd start with

[sicnarf]

Thanks for restating my point. My question falls under the old saying, "if I knew then what I know now...." So, if I knew then (when I started IM) what I know now (about IM) what one tool/software would I start with and why?

For all of you who have replied so far, sincere thanks for you comments.

I think his question isn't that broad but specific .
He ask what one software you would use , not
wheter you think a newbie would need it . And

he also ask you to pick the tool with the CURRENT
KNOWLEDGE You have . I hope you all not into
writing because some of you are off topic .

jblaze - nice reminder that the tools don't create success any more than tools make someone a carpenter or auto mechanic. Just as a hammer can destroy things in one person's hands, in another set of hands it can be used to build something of beauty. It's how well you use the tools that define whether you are a carpenter, mechanic or Internet marketer.

* It's not the tools that creates the success or allows you to be successful. However that is a common failed frame of thinking.
You are right in that one doesn't need to spend money on tools to get started or to be successful. Just keep focused on a couple traffic sources and work at picking up that traffic and monetizing it. When you're ready for your new tool you will know what you need!

I'd start off with SENuke, and then get linklicious. These two things can fuel SERPS tremendously. After having some good success, I would get SB to increase the link diversity a bit and to support my SENuke tier 1 links.

Right on mate. You're welcome and I see you totally get what I mean.
It's really easy with Internet Marketing to keep jumping from method to method or from program to program.
I have been guilty of it and I'm sure many others have been too.
And as someone else mentioned with tools/software it is really easy to start collecting new tools and not using them,
or use them without much understanding and in the end you'll end up without the results you are seeking.

You seem to be on the right path and I'm sure you'll get to where you want with IM!

Market Samurai. The best when it comes to keyword research. I think, for starters, proper keyword research is the hardest part.

I actually think Micro Niche Finder is better..

Scrapebox.

Good learning tool for how to index and rank.

It not only shows you results, but it makes one to take action and push them-self to do better and organize stuff.

people who own a copy knows what i mean.

Following this thread as I'm saving up to buy Scrapebox but willing to save up for any tool that'll help me the most as my very first tool.
I'm really quite busy, so I have to automate my work..

I would start off with Scrapebox. It has got some pretty amazing capabilities and it is not expensive either.

scrapebox - youtube bots, start with these - youtube is a great place to market a product...!

Fiverr is a great marketplace and you can found many useful services there, but you have to do deep research, because many gigs are total crap. As for the tools, depend on the method which i will target in this moment. For example if i wanna do something related to the YT marketing, i will get MVB, but if the method involve any seo actions, i will get the Scrapebox (because it is cheap, have many functions, the learning curve is not so big deal and you can found tons of tutorials).

Scrapebox. Starting out most likely you are targeting easy keywords to get quick rankings and traffic and you can build a small amount of backlinks with scrapebox and be ranking.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Seems like the tool of choice is Scrapebox among the many who posted here.

google keyword tool and google blog search

 

[frappertank]

I'd start with the google adwords keyword tool...because if you pick the wrong keywords, you're wasting your time.

And...guess what? it's free

If you are looking for instant, targetted traffic, TweetAttacks is pretty good for that.

If you are trying to up your rankings, maybe SenukeX (which is costly). or scrapebox because it is cheaper and very effective
