The good thing about it is that you are not and will never be charged extra for using my affiliate links.

[list_item] Web hosting Companies

I love diversifying the number of hosts that handle my main money websites in order to get a feel of each one of them. Since I started blogging, I have hosted in more than 10 hosting companies. I finally narrowed down my hosting providers to the 3 that give me the best experience; iPage, Hostgator and Bluehost Web hosting

Not all web hosting companies are created equal. Some will experience constant and frustrating downtimes that will cost you money. Others are so crowded and running on old technologies that slow down your website. I recommend that you do thorough researches before you decide to host your website with any of the hosts.

[list_item] WordPress CMS

The WordPress CMS takes away the need for you to reinvent the wheel. Don’t even contemplate building your blog from scratch. Instead, leverage the power of WordPress with Premium themes and Plugins to get your site up and running within no time at all.

[list_item] Paypal

If you have not done so, please head over to Paypal and open an account. Paypal, in so many words, is the global gateway to online payments. It however gets a little tricky in Kenya. There is no direct way of withdrawing your money from Paypal straight into your bank. The best thing is to leverage the use of middleman services such as epay-Kenya and Equity Paypal Portal. Epay-Kenya is great if you are in need of your cash in less than 30 minutes. Withdrawals from Paypal into Equity on the other hand take an average of 5-8 days.
