This is a list of all the things that I recommend for getting started online.
Web hosting. WordPress themes. Email marketing tools.
HOSTING
HostGator – I have a bunch of sites here. Easiest setup for everything.
or
DreamHost – Great web host with good support.
THEMES
WooThemes – I love Canvas. It’s a great minimalist theme that is crazily customizable. And WooThemes has dozens of other really great themes to browse and use.
Thesis Theme for WordPress – Most popular theme amongst professional bloggers. Easy to change most bits of layout and design. Great SEO features.
Profits Theme – This is a really great tool for Landing/Sales pages and membership sites.
TOOLS
Premise - Landing pages, Membership sites, and fantastic copywriting advice built in!
Gravity Forms – Fantastic tool for creating any sort of form on your site. Very powerful if you need more than 1 simple contact form on your site.
EMAIL TOOLS
Aweber Email Marketing – Best choice for newsletters, broadcasting your blog, and for managing your (IMPORTANT!) list of clients and future clients. 1 month free and then just $19/Month.
MailChimp – Super easy to use. Lot’s of great templates. Free up to 2000 people on your list.
The New Marketing and product creation and launching
Third Tribe Marketing forum – Amazing group of online marketers that are infinitely different than the traditional in-your-face Internet Marketing rude guys. It’s about creating connections and tribes.
