CRM/Marketing Automation Software
This is what I use. You can watch a video about it here. The low down. It has a high price tag. The email client is terrible. I use gmail instead. The upside - you'll nail your automated marketing. It takes a while to get set up and used to, but boy is it powerful. Allow a 3 to 6 month roll out with a complete focus on it. Then it should automate most of your email marketing. It's incredible once you get over the learning curve.

Video
The video camera I use is a Canon 550d.
If you get one like this, get a SanDisk 32GB class 10 card so that your length of video is long. A poorer quality card will only last a few seconds recording. I get 12 minutes at full HD.
Lapel Microphone from VideoGuys.com.au
This is the one I use and swear by. You can't go wrong with this.
Sennheiser EW 122-p G3-B Portable Wireless Lapel Microphone System
SKU#: 503292
I also got this mount to use on the top of my Canon 550d to keep the receiver of the wireless mic.

Fax Marketing
http://fax-marketing.com.au/
Dennis KalKandis is the contact Mobile: 0423 340 881. This is a B2B strategy that I use ALL the time. It built my business back in the early 2000's. The fax code has come into play, that's what I recommend Dennis from Fax Marketing. His list is up to date and everyone on it wants faxes.
Strategy. Expect 1 response in every 400 sent. So send 10,000 at a time or more. Try doing 10,000 every week and just keep it going. Be aware that you'll get some abuse, but it'll die down. The ROI has been very good. It's just another strategy so get into it and use it.
Use the fax to lead them to a call, a free report, free video series, a free quote. It's a classic '2 step' medium. Or a straight sale. Check the examples in the strategy section for fax marketing.

This software is what I use to get people onto your email database on your website.

If you have to send large PDF files (or any size for that matter), Use 'PDF squeezer' to reduce its size.
Depending on the settings you use, you can have the file size reduced dramatically. I reduce mine down by about 30%. This makes them easier to e-mail. You can reduce them by as much as 50% if you want.

Market Research:
Before you enter a market, you need to do some research so you can quickly and easily decide if there is any money to be made in that market. One of the easiest mistakes to make is to enter a market because you have a hunch that it’s a good market, or you have an interest in that market. There’s nothing wrong with entering a market that you have a passion for, however, it’s disappointing to find out that nobody is spending money in that market. Below you will find a list of market research tools and resources to help you decide wether a market is worth entering or not.

Keyword Research:
You need to know how to pick and choose your battles. That’s why keyword research is so important. So many newbie’s make the mistake of targeting keywords just because they get a ton of searches each month. What they don’t take into consideration is competition. If you wanted to enter the health & fitness market, targeting the keywords ‘six pack abs’ might sound like a good idea. After all, the phrase ‘six pack abs’ gets over 200,000 Google searches monthly. However, if you take into consideration that there are over 6.8 million websites competing for that term, your time is better spent targeting different keyword phrases with less competition. It would simply be too hard to enter a new market and rank on the first page of Google for such a competitive search term. Below you will find a list of comprehensive keyword research training and tools.
