There are some things we just can’t live without. The list below are those things that we oh-so-love.**
Email marketing
**Affiliate partnership
iContact allows businesses, non-profit organizations, and associations to easily create, send, and track email newsletters, surveys, blogs, autoresponders, and RSS feeds. We love it because it’s easy to use, affordable, has great deliverability, is reliable, and provides good stats.

Domains and Hosting

Bluehost is THE best place to host your website. We love it because: you get unlimited emails and storage; once you pay for hosting, you can host as many domains as you own for no additional hosting charge; and they have THE best customer service – responsive, human, and 24/7. Can’t really beat that. AWESOME OFFER: Hosting is only $5.95 a month as of this write-up.
