Here is a list of resources that I use for blogging, business, and investing. Where possible, these are affiliate links, but the resources are here because I actually use (or have created!) them.
- 99designs – designers make logos & graphics for you; you award the winner a prize
- Aweber – allows you to send out email newsletters and create and manage mailing lists
- BlueHost – the web host I use. I like them because they allow you to host multiple domain names for the same price, have unlimited storage, and allow ftp access. They’ve also been helpful with my questions.
- – Domain name registration (they offer hosting too, but I have only used the domain name services)
- Gravatar – allows you to post comments on blogs, etc using a “globally recognized avatar”. (These are the little pictures that appear next to some comments.)
- Internet Business Mastery – their (free) podcast on iTunes and their academy & mastermind group really got me making progress on my internet-based business.
- Mozy – Allows you to backup 2GB of data for free if you are a home user.
- oDesk – Find Virtual Assistants on oDesk
- Pay Off Debt – the debt snowball app I created for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android phones.
- WordPress – free and wonderful blogging software (use with various themes and plugins)
- Xenu – allows you to check for broken links on web sites
- Zecco.com
– Stock trading. (I have a regular investment account and one of my IRAs with them.)
