Review and Recommendations
There are thousands of products and services relating to marketing. Instead of trying to review them all, we've focussed on products that are affordable and deliver results - some are well-known brands, while others are new or little-known but at the end of the day, anything we promote is definitely worth a look!

Best website hosting providers for 2024
Yes GoDaddy and HostGator are good - they dominate the market - but we believe the following company is just as good and far more affordable:
GreenGeeks - using our link you can take advantage of awesome discounts when you first join. We've been using GG for the last two years and have found them to provide a great product with support when we've needed it. Plus GG is a great environmental choice.
Best domain sellers
Visit Namecheap to see if 'your name' is available. Remember '.com' domains are the most reputable but there are many options.
Before buying, you should also do a free Namecheckr search to see if your domain name is also available on social media, etc. If it is... don't delay, buy the domain and then register/reserve the same name in other locations before someone else takes it.
Best autoemailers (email so
We recommend Aweber and GetResponse - check out our comparison video on Youtube to see which suits you best. The video is getting old now but the information and advice is still up to date.
Best video editing software
Need to edit videos you're filmed on your phone or a digital SLR? Just use ScreenPal (was Screencast-o-matic). It's a fraction of the cost of Premier Pro (Adobe's market leading software.... e.g. you'll need it if you're working in a news room or are setting up as a Videographer).
Preparing video to accompany a speech? Want AI or auto generated video footage for an ad or post? We recommend you get InVideo
Got a great video you want to 'repurpose' from one format to another to suit something like social media? Try Repurpose.io - this awesome software also makes publishing a breeze!
Best affiliate marketing courses
Legendary Marketer - start with their 15 Day Business Builder Challenge. They have lots of 'done for you' type scripts, an awesome support network and FB group ready to help.
Jonathan Montoya - newbies should look at the 72-hour Challenge and for experienced affiliate marketers there's the Funnell Freedom (free trail using this link) Jonothan is a great coach and provides step-by-step instructions to help get you earning.
We used to promote other methods but over time some become less effective and fail to deliver results.
Best iStock photo generator/source
We recommend Yayimages as an alternative to iStock photos. At just $6-10 per month they are way cheaper than iStock and other alternatives and yet provide a fantastic array of images that should suit all your general needs.
Best photo editing software
Pixlr is our suggestion and at xx per month in contrast to Photoshop which is $25 per month! Pixlr has fantastic and easy to use image editing capabilities including AI.
Best AI for Marketing
There is no real one size fits all AI system because our recommendation depends on what you want or need the system to do. For instance, the answer is different if you are only writing blogs or if you're wanting to use AI for graphics or video voiceovers, etc.
Best VPN (virtual private network)
A VPN is a service that protects your internet connection and privacy online. It creates an encrypted tunnel for your data, protects your online identity by hiding your IP address, and allows you to use public Wi-Fi hotspots safely.
We only recommend NordVPN as they been protecting us for years.
Having a VPN is great for marketers as you can set you location by logging into servers in different countries AND checking for local results using things like Google searches. This provides valuable info for identifying and targeting your audience.
