Welcome to my resources – a list of websites and tools that I use and which I strongly recommend you use too for your list building projects. Be assured I have either used or purchased all the resources I am recommending. Each of the products, services or tools will have a link – some of which are affiliate links. Those material connections may not be made known at every single advertisement or affiliate link. You should assume that there is a material connection and that I may receive compensation in money or otherwise for anything you purchase as a result of visiting the links, and also that we may be paid merely by you clicking any link. The payment I may receive comes at no additional cost to you. I recommend the resources because they are helpful and useful, not because of the small commissions I may make if you decide to buy something. Please do not buy any of these products unless you are certain that you need them and that they will help you achieve your goals.
Definitely one of my favourite tools which allows me to create a great looking videos. Even if you’ve never made a video before, Camtasia makes it easy to make screen recordings, but it is also advanced enough for the most seasoned video maker. What you can’t do with Camtasia isn’t really worth knowing. Available for both Windows and Mac computers, at about $250 or £189 it is a tad expensive, however, if you take
the free trial you’ll discover just how quickly you can create videos and recoup the outlay in no time at all.
I purchased Content Samurai in 2018 and whilst I am a great lover of Camtasia (see above), I am astonished by the speed that Content Samurai can produce professional videos. It doesn’t do the screen recording that Camtasia does but for video creation it is ultra, ultra simple. See what I mean

All my website products, including my shop, are hosted on
KnownHost’s VPS platform and they have been for the past couple of years. I have found KnownHost to be 101% reliable as far as performance is concerned and on the very few occasions I have need to contact their support desk (usually as a result of a problem I’ve created!!), their response has been lightening fast. Recommended hosting.
I’ve owned this software for a few years now and I find it brilliant for creating all sorts of graphics. I’m a complete dunce with anything artistic and The Creator helps me to visualize my ideas using 100s of premade templates and logos. And when I’ve finished the graphic is mine i..e no royalties to pay and no fear that I am contravening somebody else’s copyright. The Creator is a fantastic tool
Of the top email providers I find MailChimp has been the best for my needs. For anybody starting out the fact that
MailChimp allows you to have up to 2000 subscribers for free was great however, the bonus was that they also allow the free account to have an autoresponder. To be honest that takes some beating and they are highly recommended.
