Entrepreneurial You: Monetize Your Expertise, Create Multiple Income Streams, and Thrive

My first recommendation is that you buy Entrepreneurial You by Dorie Clark. This is the book that I used to teach myself how to think like an entrepreneur. This book effortlessly takes you through the steps of building your own brand, distributing relevant content, and eventually monetizing your expertise. Whether you are just starting out or looking for ways to capitalize on your brand I highly recommend purchasing this book.

Bluehost

Bluehost is the webhosting platform that I use to run my site. The basic plan is quite inexpensive at only $6 per month, but the services provided are quite valuable. The convenient thing about Bluehost is that if you are needing extra help with your website, you can get professional help from Blue Sky at a premium price. Bluehost interfaces beautifully with wordpress to make your web-building experience seamless. If you want to take a look at how easy it is to start your own website, start here at Bluehost.

Constant Contact

One of the most important steps in building your brand is creating an email list. I have been using Constant Contact since I started my website last year. Constant Contact services the sign up forms on my website and automatically adds the sign-ups to my email list. They also service my email updates. What I like most about Constant Contact is how you can customize their services. When I first signed up for Constant Contact, I was set up with a design consultant to help me design the right template for my emails, which I still use today. If you sign up for Constant Contact with this link we will both receive a credit to our accounts.
