Resources

These are some helpful links and resources to help you get your business started and keep it running smoothly.

My Recommended Website Hosting Company
This is the company I use to host this site, and recommend to my clients. They have excellent, 24/7 support, and phone support too, not just the email ticket system you get with some companies. They have plans with plenty of space and bandwidth and unlimited email accounts starting at $4.95 a month. They are currently offering a plan with 600 Gigs of Space, 6,000 Gigabytes of Bandwidth, UNLIMITED Websites, and an easy click and go WordPress Setup, for $7.95 per month.

My Recommended Email List Manager
This is the company I use to manage my Email List and Newsletter.

My Recommended Resource for filing legal paperwork to establish your company- Limited Liability Company (LLC) OR Corporation
This company will file the paperwork for you to establish your company, for a fraction of the cost of an attorney.  They have real people doing the work, and a great customer service line where someone can answer any questions you have along the way.

My Recommendation for a Virtual Fax Line and or Voicemail Number
The Startup Daddy Community gets a 30 DAY FREE TRIAL, by following the link above. If you want a dedicated fax line, and/or all you need is voicemail, this is the way to go.  You get your faxes in your email inbox as a PDF, and if you opt for the PRO Service option, you get voicemail as well, with the ability to record a personalized message.  If the system hears a fax tone, it just accepts the fax.  If it is a caller, they hear your message and you get the voicemail in your email inbox, in the form of a WAV file that you can listen to on any computer or smartphone.

My Recommended Service for a Virtual Receptionist Phone Number
The Startup Daddy Community gets a 30 DAY FREE TRIAL, by following the link above . This service gives small businesses a big-business sound with an affordable, hardware-free phone system. Customers get a toll-free and/or local number that answers calls with a professionally recorded greeting.
