Products & Services I Recommend

Here’s a list of some of my favorite resources and tools. While I do recommend what I’ve listed here, what you choose to purchase or use is your responsibility and I do not accept responsibility for any service you use or purchase. I am an affiliate for Aweber and CDG Commerce—I chose to join their affiliate programs because I’m a huge fan of their services—but I don’t recommend them just because I’m an affiliate.
