Resources

I thought it may help if I provide you with a list of services and products I use on a regular basis. Some are related to “working” online (e.g. having a website, using social media, etc.), some are books I’ve read, and others are products I use as a therapist (e.g. my audio and video recorders). I will continue to add to this Resource page as I learn about, use, and love new products and services. Enjoy!

The products and services listed below are ones that I know, have used, and endorse. There are some items on here that contain affiliate links, but they’re not on here because of that–they’re included as a Resource because I have used them and like them. Where possible, I also include a link to the article that reviews the product or service.

Tools for Starting a Website/Blog

  • Powweb Web Hosting: If you want a website, you need a place to “rent” internet space, called “hosting.” I use Powweb for this blog. Great price, GREAT customer service, easy to use.
  • Godaddy Domain Names: This is my go-to site for domain names (and NOT because of Danika Patrick :D). Reliable, helpful, affordable.
  • WordPress.org: This is THE best blogging software out there. It’s free, flexible, powerful, with incredible support forums and tutorials. And it integrates beautifully with Powweb.
  • The Thesis Theme for WordPress: This is what makes my blog looks good. Tons of features, tons of support.

Email Newsletter

  • Aweber: Tons of features, easy to use, GREAT customer support. I think this is the best email marketing tool out there…and shared some of it’s pros and cons in my review of Aweber.

Manage your Social Media

  • Tweetdeck: Manage your twitter and facebook feed. Syncs with your computer and smartphone.
  • GremlinSocial: An easy way to schedule and organize social media updates in advance.
