Website/Blog Services

Bluehost: I've been using religiously since 2011 with my fitness blog rundreamachieve. If you wish to start a blog or website on a wordpress or weebly Bluehost is the best service I have used. They have 24-hour customer service and prices are affordable at only $3.95/month.

KWFinder: Serious about starting or growing your health and fitness business or blog? KWFinder is absolutely essential. You need to be writing about topics your customers are searching for. Many bloggers and business owners go wrong because they are not optimizing their online content. KWFinder makes it very easy as it provides specific, low competition long-tail keywords your customers are typing into the search engines. This is probably the most important tool that I use and recommend.

SpinWriter: This software saves you a ton of time if you are trying to create content. Fortunately, I love to write my own content but what this software does for you is spins content you have already created and helps you create more content to place on your website. Google can penalize websites if they post the same content over and over again. Spin Rewriter saves you from your site being penalized and saves you a ton of time and money. It usually costs $5 to $10 to have someone write even a 500-word article for you. That ads up. Have writers block? You'll never run into that with this software.

StudioPress: I have been building websites since 2011. This site is built on Weebly which is a great platform but there are also many other great platforms to start your online business. If you either have a current website or blog operating on Wordpress I would highly recommend checking out StudioPress. They have beautiful, super fast themes that are easy to set up.

RankSnap: If you want to get your blog posts on the first page of Google this is a MUST have software. Website and business owners who have web properties online don't always realize the importance of getting their blog post, product or service on the first page of Google. This takes a ton of time, money and resources to achieve. What RankSnap does is builds backlinks to your website which creates move "votes" to your web property. The more powerful websites that are linking to you the higher your site will rank in the search engines. If you have a website or business this is one you will NOT want to pass up investing in. $47 is also a very low investment with no rish.

Personal Finance & Investing

Etoro: This is the world's leading social trading network. Etoro makes it insanely easy to Trade on financial markets. Etoro is a social media platform that actually pays because you can create the same profitable trades that other traders within the network is using. It is similar to facebook but without all the negative noise and useless political opinions that doesn't help you come on step closer to being financially independent.. I once heard an entrepreneur mentor of mine tell me, "Nate, 'facebook likes' don't pay the bills. Think of all the time you spend on social media and ask yourself these questions "is facebook putting money in my bank account?' 'is twitter helping me pay off my credit cards, student and auto loan debt?". If you are interested in investing and getting rid of unnecessary debt nothing matches Etoro. Highly recommended and I personally use it.
