I've tried quite a few hosts over the years, however, the best by far is WPX. I might pay a little more than my previous hosting solution but it's an investment that I happily make. This is after all the hub of my business, and I want my website to be hosted somewhere that I have total trust in.

The support really is as fast as they claim. The support team are helpful, knowledgeable and patient when I ask "dumb" questions. 

And even better... the team at WPX. love dogs and care for 500+ homeless, shelter & disabled dogs & cats every day. A massive bonus in my books!

This is a fantastic tool that takes your Facebook Lives and Videos and automatically creates posts on your WordPress site. The post can even include all of your social proof and comments (which is great for the SEO impact.

The plugin has lots of control and features. It can pull videos from your page, a group or personal profile, you can control which videos it uses to create posts on your blog and whether or not it creates a draft post or auto publishes it.

The support is great. I use three plugins and Repurpose (see below) all from the same developer.

Simple Podcast Press is similar to Simple Social Press, except it does the same thing for your Podcasts so that you can make a bigger impact with your Podcast.

It is a podcast player that is designed to grow your audience, boost your downloads, increase listener engagement and more.

It takes seconds to install and is very easy to use and is compatible with all Podcasting platforms.

I love this tool. It saves me so much time each week by automatically repurposing my videos and livestreams to multiple platforms to maximise exposure, build brand awareness and boost online sales. There are so many ways that you can use this tool to create different content starting with your podcasts and Facebook videos. 

And just as importantly the support is great.

I love this tool. It is a great step by step way to boost your rankings, organic traffic, write great SEO articles, track search engines and everything else that's needed to consistently places pages in the top 10 of Google Search. It's a proven all in one SEO tool that makes good SEO so much easier with Digital Assistants that guide you every step of the way.

I've used a few email marketing apps over the years. Some with more features, some cheaper, some more expensive. I keep coming back to ConvertKit for it's ease of use combined with powerful features. 
I love how easy it is to do anything I need in ConvertKit, and that I can do it in far fewer clicks than other providers which saves me time and makes sending emails to my audience a much more pleasurable performance.

I am a great fan of Thrive Themes and their tools that are designed to work together so that you don't get the usual plug in conflicts and help you grow your business and get more clients/sales. I have used them for all of my websites for years now.

You can buy their plugins and themes individually, however, far better value is their membership which gives you the full suite of tools that work together seamlessly, unlimited support and exclusive members only courses, templates and content.

Splosh is a great new way to buy your laundry, home cleaning and washing up essentials. They've made refilling easier than recycling so that you can stop throwing away/recycling plastic bottles.
