Keyword Research

• Google Keyword Tool – Research keywords that you can build websites around to make money.

Blog Hosting

• Hostgator – This is my favorite hosting provider. HostGator is a leading webhost company as it provides superb customer support available 24hrs.  HostGator offers web hosting through three different plans: Hatchling, Baby and Business. All these plans include unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Most of the WordPress Blogs prefer using HostGator and so do I.  Use coupon code technshare2012 to save 25%.
• Bluehost – They only provide shared web hosting, and only offer one plan. But that plan beats most, if not all, competition. They have very affordable pricing for this plan and it includes unlimited storage and data transfer with a Free Domain. Regarding support, Bluehost has round the clock service on a toll-free number and can also be reached through email or Live Chat.

Best WordPress Themes

• ThemeForest – I am pretty sure that most of us have heard about ThemeForest as it is the biggest marketplace for website templates and CMS themes especially for WordPress. However, one thing that you probably don’t know is ThemeForest is the biggest theme marketplace, so there are a lot of themes that are not well coded.
• Woo Themes I highly recommend Woothemes.com. I love Woothemes because they are simply the best designed, most functional themes available for WordPress. The forums are top notch, and support is very accesible – not that I need help often, since all the themes is well thought-out and constructed.
• Thesis Theme – The Thesis Theme for WordPress is a premium template system designed to serve as the rock-solid foundation beneath any kind of website.
