In an attempt to keep the price of our courses $30.00 I have decided to put up this business resource page.  Some of the products or services listed here will provide some form of compensation. I have a written disclosure policy which is available online for you to view.

The listing of any resource on this page indicates that I have used the product or service and have been satisfied with performance. You are STILL responsible for checking out the information at the sites and reading their TOS to determine if it is something you can use. Eclectic Academy will not be liable for any other company's products or services.

These resources are related more to established websites and business websites

If you do websites for others, create templates, ecards or paper cards and products you know how difficult it is getting to get photos and images that allow you to create and sell the same product more than one time. ShutterShots license agreement does not have that restriction.

Color Wheel Pro - Color Wheel Pro is a unique software program that allows you to see color theory in action. With Color Wheel Pro, you can create harmonious color schemes and preview them on real-world examples. For years, artists have been using color wheel to choose colors that go well together. Color wheel is a visual representation of color theory: with a simple color wheel printed on cardstock or plastic, you can quickly create a quite good color scheme. But a printed color wheel has one big disadvantage: it cannot SHOW you how your color scheme will look on a real design -- that is, on a logo, website, or banner you're working on. Color Wheel Pro is the only tool that allows you to see color theory in action: the main feature of Color Wheel Pro is the ability to preview color schemes on real-world examples. The preview is real-time: when adjusting the color scheme, you see the changes immediately. I've owned this for quite a while and love the way it displays a complete color palette.

PEELAWAY ADS - What fun! I have used this on the front page of the school site and on several client sites. Everyone likes it since it isn't one of those "In your face" pop-ups, pop-ins or pop-unders. There are videos to show you how easy it is to set up as well as three different scripts including a rotating ad script. Might be a novel way to offer advertising on your website? To check it out, simply click on the ad in the upper right corner of this page or the link at the beginning of this review.

SEO for WordPress - If you use cPanel you know that installing your WordPress blog has never been easier. Two clicks and you’re done. What you may not be aware of is that out of the box, WordPress is not that SE (Search Engine) friendly.

When I realized that I began trying to decide what I should do to change the situation. It’s hard to know where to start or what should be done in what order. I am trying to find someone qualified to teach a class in WordPress but in the meantime....

I was glad to find Mike Paetzold’s report “7 Tips to Make your Word Press Blog Search Engine Friendly“.

Mike has a way of walking people step by step through this so that even if you aren’t “techie” you’ll easily be able to do the same.

There is a small charge but it is less than the price of ordering a pizza! Be sure to check it out. You will be glad you did.

Forget what you thought you knew about internet marketing forums...

The biggest problem with online marketing forums is the huge amount of misinformation and total nonsense that gets posted without ever being corrected, this tends to lead people down the wrong path. Forum Know-how is Robert Puddy's attempt to rectify that position.

There is a panel of resident experts who are the moderators and will make sure the information you get here is relevant and more importantly correct.

They have completely disabled the registration process in the forum programming, the only way to get access to this forum is through the registration process on the home page, this will keep out auto bots and spammers etc. Only paid members will be able to access the forum. This will give you a secure and private learning environment, in which you can safely discuss business with like minded people.

I have to say I have been pleased with the posts on this forum so far. One good idea or hint could pay for the price of joining. I was going to list the experts and some of the categories in the forum itself but then the page would go on forever. You will be able to see the moderators on the home page and if you want a list of some of the topics covered, just email me.
