𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐖𝐏𝐗

I've used four different hosts in the 20 plus years I’ve had websites and I can easily say that none of them have offered the reliability and in particular customer support that WPX offer for standard WordPress website hosting. Their support is exceptional and every time I’ve approached them I’ve had online chat conversations that have resolved my questions within minutes.

As I’m not a server and hosting expert it’s great that they even do changes to things like DNS records so there’s no risk of me breaking anything! They offer free site migrations, fast servers, daily and on demand backups and a very user friendly site management interface.

If you’d like a host that provides all the help and support you need, is reliable and easy to use then WPX is a great choice.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
They also plough their profits into supporting Dogs that need love and help through their own non-profit 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 charity.

WPX Offers the Fastest Managed WordPress Hosting, FREE high-speed CDN, and SSLs. 24/7 Lightning-Fast Support. Get 2 Months Free on All Annual Plans.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭 & 𝐏𝐚𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 - 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐭

Thrivecart is my shopping cart and sales processor of choice for all my products, courses and membership sites. It offers a choice of pre-built but fully editable checkout pages, upsell and down sell funnels and full and easy integration with Thrive Suite (and other site builder solutions).

With Thrivecart you can design your own shopping cart page AND embed it on a page of your own site so you can provide your customers with the on brand experience you want to give them.

I use Thrivecart across all my products and services and I highly recommend it.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
Thrivecart has a Professional plan upgrade. This is more than worth the price as it lets you use a branded url so your customers are unaware they are even using another service AND also includes a full Affiliate platform so you can recruit and get others to sell your products for you.

Launch and sell smarter with ThriveCart. All-in-one checkouts, automations and LMS tools help creators, coaches and entrepreneurs grow effortlessly.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 - 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐊𝐢𝐭

Having a service that delivers your emails to new and future customers, leads and those that want to receive your regular updates is one of THE most important investments you’ll make for your online business. You really need a service that focuses on this business area exclusively as deliverability, reputation with the likes of Google, and the ability to flex with your needs can all make or break your business long term.

After using other vendors in the past (Aweber from 2004 to 2019) I now use ConvertKit for all my core email communications. Things I love about it are that it’s regularly improved, has drag and drop design for the emails themselves as well as automated communications campaigns. Plus it integrates with all the major tools and services as an easy to use solution.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
The pricing of ConvertKit suits new business owners through to the very largest as it is on a sliding scale. This makes the cost to access their services more affordable for those starting out and trying to limit their overheads. ConvertKit can grow as your business grows and is simple to set up and use for automations, broadcasts and onboarding sequences.

Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is the creator-first email marketing and newsletter platform. Grow your audience, automate campaigns, and sell without burnout.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 - 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫

I use Fiverr for lots of small one-off projects for both my own projects and brand and also those of my clients. Like all outsourcing sites, Fiverr has some excellent specialists that you can use to deliver core elements of any project.

In the past I’ve used specialists on Fiverr to create logos, animations, legal documents, voiceovers, audio clips and hand drawn illustrations. For example, the Elephas logo and the animation at the end of all our videos was done via a Fiverr expert.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
Provided you do your research, give a clear brief and provide rapid feedback and direction you can ensure success every time.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 - 𝐀𝐩𝐩 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐨

App Sumo is a now legendary site where new or relaunched software, apps and tools are released at huge discounts so the vendor can get feedback and reviews from the expert community there.

Since 2012 I’ve picked up some now mainstream products at incredible lifetime price offers of around $60 each. That’s - $60 for lifetime use, not monthly!

As you’ll hear me say a lot – “beware running up overheads when your income stream from your business is zero and even more so when your business is doing well. Things can change overnight in the real world”. So using carefully selected lifetime deals from App Sumo can be a brilliant way to get the tools you need with no ongoing overhead costs. As an example - I bought one offer I still use every week for a lifetime price of what that tool now costs for a single month (think honey!)

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
The hardest thing about App Sumo is not buying all the amazing lifetime offers so I recommend you follow their new releases but have a shopping list of ‘tools actually required today’ before browsing!

AppSumo promotes great products to help you in your career and life.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 & 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 - 𝟗𝟗 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬

I’ve used 99 Designs since 2008 for logo creation on my own projects such as the Eze logo and colour scheme you can see across this site. I’ve also used their service for a number of my client logo/brand projects.

99 Designs uses a unique crowd based design process. So you get a huge variety of ideas to consider from lots of designers which gives you a LOT of choice and creativity for your small investment. This is so refreshing compared to the old fashioned logo design approach where all too often you’re stuck with a couple of designs from a single designer.

99Designs is an excellent and easy service to use for brand and logo creation.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
I always use the Logo only option to keep costs down. You can always buy extra options later.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟐
You can use their design brief questionnaire without buying anything and this is a really good tool to help you shape your ideas for your brand, logo and colour scheme.

The global creative platform for custom graphic design: logos, websites and more. Hire a talented designer or start a design contest. 500k+ happy customers have used 99designs to grow their business.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐭

Over time the cost of cloud storage and delivery services have fallen, dropped, decreased and got cheaper – and yet most ‘all inclusive’ options such as Vimeo either haven’t passed these savings on or worse have increased their prices!

If you use any form of hosting for your site then storing your large assets such as PDF’s, Audio files, Videos and Images will quickly build up and most hosts charge extra for this. With Bunny net you can store and stream your files securely from their globally based content delivery network servers for literally pennies per month.

I use Bunny to host and stream all my product files, lesson videos and audio files.

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
Most services like Amazon S3 are certainly low cost but also very difficult to setup and use (I used S3 for over a decade and never really got to grips with how to manage my files). Bunny Net however is both low cost AND simple to set up and use.

Hop on bunny.net and speed up your web presence with the next-generation Content Delivery Service (CDN), Edge Storage, and Optimization Services at any scale.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 - 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫

Presto Player is the brandable audio and video player tool I use to display videos and audios across the articles and pages of my sites. I use Presto these days after many years as a Vimeo user.

Switching to Presto player was an easy choice as it has some really useful features such as muted preview, player branding included and calls to action. But the key reason was cost. Presto offers monthly, annual and lifetime pricing AND doesn’t charge for video storing and streaming allowing you to make use of much more cost effective solutions such as Bunny (see below).

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
Every video and audio player I’ve come across either doesn’t allow own branding or requires you to buy their most expensive plan to have such a facility. Presto lets you brand your player to match your site and brand as a standard and included basic core feature.

Take your video to another level and delight your viewers with a modern video experience they will love you for.

𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭

Descript is the tool that powers all of my audio and video recording and editing (plus captions, transcripts and audiograms too). I’ve used a variety of tools such as Camtasia in the past, but Descript is the next generation of video and audio editing and now my firm favourite. It's a powerful but REALLY easy to use tool that anyone can master.

The power of Descript lies in how it revolutionises the editing process. If you can edit the text of a document or social post then you can now edit audio and video too! Editing in Descript is based around editing the on screen transcript text of your audio or video. You edit out a word in the text and the audio and video get edited too.

Whether you’re tweaking an interview for a podcast or creating a captivating tutorial or YouTube video, Descript has all the tools you need to make your work look and sound professional.

I like this tool so much I even got the owner’s permission to use their brand in a training product name – Eze Descript (coming soon!).

𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩 #𝟏
Descript offers up to two hours of output a month for free so you can try it out before you decide to buy anything.

Descript makes editing video and audio as easy as editing text. Record, transcribe, edit, and publish in one tool. Try for free, with powerful upgrades for creators & teams.
