Resources and Tools

Here are resources you can use to ramp yourself to the level you want. Of course, using these links helps me out. These are affiliate links, plain and simple. Very few authors make a living selling books and I’m at the beginning of my journey. So, if I’ve helped you in any small way; if you’ve enjoyed something I’ve shared; if you want to join me in success, I humbly ask you to use my affiliate links to buy the things you might already be buying.

Hosting

If you’re looking to establish an online presence, you’ll need some hosting.

Dreamhost

Dreamhost is my hosting provider of choice. I find their customer service to be top-notch and my monitoring of my sites shows incredible up-time and performance. They also have one-click installs of the famous WordPress platform.
