My Top Tools for the Online Entrepreneur
Since I started this online journey, I tried many tools and resources in order to build and scale my work. Some tools were a complete waste of time and money while others proved their worth. This page is a filtered selection of the tools I use myself and hopefully will help you take your digital business to the next level.
STARTER KIT
I recommend you start with the Basic package if you only have one website or the Plus package if your have more.
Basic: costs $3.95/month
Plus: costs $5.95/month
The #1 Shared Hosting Provider
The fact that WordPress.org named them their #1 recommended web hosting solution says more than enough. This is because Bluehost integrates seamlessly and installs WordPress for your account with one click so you’re able to start your website or blog with as fast as 15 minutes. This website you’re reading right now is actually hosted on it.
Since I collaborate with them, they’ve provided me with a special deal of a huge discount and FREE domain name for the first year. You can get my same offer on the button below.
I have also written a step-by-step guide to teach you how to start your blog and grow it to make money.

Online Sales on Steroids
DotCom Secrets is not just another “how-to” book on internet marketing. This book is not about getting more traffic to your website–yet the secrets you’ll learn will help you to get exponentially more traffic than ever before.
This book is not about increasing your conversions–yet these secrets will increase your conversions more than any headline tweak or split test you could ever hope to make.
Low traffic or low conversion rates are symptoms of a much greater problem that’s a little harder to see (that’s the bad news), but a lot easier to fix (that’s the good news).
What most businesses really have is a “funnel” problem. Your funnel is the online process that you take your potential customers through to turn them into actual customers. Everyone has a funnel (even if they don’t realize it), and yours is either bringing more customers to you, or repelling them.
My Must read entrepreneurship books
If you know me, you know how much of a bookworm I am!
I compiled this library myself and I always add to it and re-order the books according to importance (in my own experience). Your entrepreneurship journey starts with a fortified mindset, so take the jump and choose your book.
