Useful Tools, Services And Equipment You will find very useful in starting your business.

Here is a list of things I use in my online business. These are the tools of your trade. Some of them are annual subscriptions, some of them are one time payments and some are free.

I have used many different tools and these are the ones I now use. If they're good enough for me, they'll work for you.

The links below are my affiliate links which means I get a few quid if you buy through my links. You don't get charged any more for this. You'll learn how to do this in the course.

Free Stuff

Things to sign up to

• Get yourself a hosting account at Hostgator by clicking the link.     I use Hostgator because the control panel is very easy to operate and you can host an unlimited amount of websites on one hosting account. Just sign up for a baby croc hosting account and that's all you need do for now. I pay monthly, it only works out at around $7.50 =around £4.00 per month. Do not buy any domain names at this point.

• I buy my domain names at Godaddy. You can get yours by clicking the ad
