Recommended Resources

Below is my personal list of services, ad networks, plug-ins and anything else that I recommend to internet marketers and online entrepreneurs. All of these resources have been a working part of my success on the internet. Some links are referrals tagged to me (full disclosure), however nothing makes it to this page just for the commission. I use every product or service listed and find it of value, which is why I recommend it. Enjoy!

WordPress Plug-Ins

• WP Touch – Automatically formats your blog with a mobile theme for touch-based smartphones. Try it on this site. Works beautifully.
• Pretty Link Pro -Creates and manages custom short links for all your posts, pages and anything else so you can share on social media sites. See my post on this for more.
• WP-Optimize – Helps keep your wp database clean by removing post revisions and spams in a blaze. Allows you to rename your admin name also.
• WordPress Database Backup – On-demand or automated scheduled backups of your WordPress database.
• Thesis OpenHook – Allows you to insert arbitrary content into the many hooks that the Thesis Theme Framework provides.

Services

• GoDaddy – I use GoDaddy to register and manage all my domains. They include a lot of domain management tools for free, like domain forwarding, advanced DNS control and email forwarding.
• Hostgator – I use Hostgator for many of the websites I manage, including this one. I have a reseller account so I can host multiple sites using one account. Responsive support, lots of features and very competitively priced.
• Freedom800.com – Offers virtual phone service to give your online business a more professional and credible appearance.
