Elegant Themes
This is what I use to build my blog! I tried other themes but none of them where working the way I wanted them to. I learnt very early on with my blogging that free themes just didn’t work well enough. So I bought a couple of other themes thinking they would be better, but they still didn’t have the oomph that I needed. Then I switched to Elegant Themes and and I really do think they are the best on the market… The fact that they are the number one used theme world wide speaks for itself. In my opinion they are the best out there!

The best advice I can give to anyone just starting out with their blog or online business… Get An Email Provider From Day One!
.
If you have a blog, or any type of website, then having an email provider is highly recommended. It’s a great way to build relationships between your site visitors and yourself. When your site visitors join your email list it gives you chance to offer them any coupon codes that you may have been provided with to share, or snippets of information that you think they will find helpful. In return you will hopefully get visitors returning to your blog because they will learn to trust you and know that you have some great things to give away.
The email provider I use is GetResponse, they have proven to be the best for me and have loads of free training to teach you everything you need to help you build your email list.
You can get free email providers, but they are only for a limited amount of subscribers and they don’t offer the tools and ease of use that an email provider like GetResponse does. My advice is to start the right way from day one.

For my web hosting I use SiteGround. To put it simply, I think they are without doubt the best Web hosing company out there! I started out using Bluehost, but I soon started to regret that and stayed with them for far too long because I had already paid for my subscription with them and I thought it would be too difficult to change. It wasn’t difficult as it turned out, it was actually very easy. So this time before I decided who I was going to have hosting my site, I did plenty of research and SiteGround really stood out as the best web hosting company for me, so they are a company that I am happy to recommend.
