Stuff I Recommend

These are not things I’ve produced, but I use them everyday. Like many bloggers, I made several mistakes along the way, choosing the wrong suppliers. The companies listed below are the ones I turned to when I needed better service, and I commend them to you for that reason. I never recommend a service I don’t use! I do earn a small commission from these, but if you prefer me not to, simply Google the name and don’t use my links.

Pocket Video Power

Amazing, must have training course all about how to plan, shoot and use video as a blogger. The best I've seen and great value as well. More here: Pocket Video Power

Wordpress Theme

I use Drupal for my websites, but I know most of you use Wordpress. If you do, there isn't a better theme than Headway. Like Drupal, it allows you to put your content where you want it, without restricting you in the way that most Wordpress themes do. Check it out and read some of the reviews. Headway Wordpress Theme

EMail List Provider

Simply the best service, with the best options, available to bloggers. Don’t even think about using anyone else. Here’s the link: Aweber Email Service

Web Host

After a false start, I found Inmotion and they’ve been brilliant! With plans from $6.95 a month, as well as both virtual and dedicated server options and exceptional help service. Here’s their site: Inmotion Hosting

Blog Masters Club

Simply the best training program for anyone serious about earning income using a blog as a platform.

Accounts Software

If you're in business on-line, you need to be keeping proper accounts. I use and recommend Kashflow - there isn't a better way to do your numbers, and to handle multiple currencies.
