For DIYers
Want powerful control over your website? Love learning? Enjoy creative time? Below are the tools I use and teach. For further help on these, check out the Website DIY Support Group.
TOOLS I USE AND TEACH
Bluehost Website Hosting for WordPress Websites
Cost-effective, fast, and works well. I don’t like wasting time on managing hosting. I’d rather be growing my business. I’m mostly happy with them. 😉
Check out BlueHost.
Divi WordPress Theme — Fun Visual Builder
Divi is a crisp, clean, premium theme for WordPress with a slick visual builder. It’s fun and powerful. Check out the Divi theme.
AWeber for Simple Email List Management
This web-based email list management service makes it easy to send emails to many people at once. It’s a walk in the park compared to MailChimp’s jungly interface which will drive you bananas. I’ve used them for over 15 years. Check out AWeber.
A Big Collection of Low-Cost Images
Buy credits instead of a subscription unless you need a lot of images regularly, like posting/blogging multiple times a week. Visit BigStockPhoto.
Really, Really, Really Good Images
iStockPhoto has amazing images. They have two collections: essentials and signature (tend to be better). They sell subscriptions and offer a free trial. Visit iStockPhoto.
I use, teach, and love all of these tools.
No surprise I’m an affiliate for them (you don’t pay extra.)
