Why Tools Are So Important
Over the years I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on tools. Here are the ones I still recommend, so you can skip the expensive trial and error.
Research
- KDSpy: my pick for book niche and keyword research. It is a one-time purchase.
Writing
- Grammarly: checks grammar and spelling as I write.
Formatting
- Atticus: what I use to format books. My top pick.
Marketing
- MailerLite: email list management.
- Publisher Rocket: keyword research for Amazon ads.
Author website
- WPX: website hosting.
- Pretty Links: a link shortener for the links on your site.
- ThriveCart: lets you sell books, courses or coaching directly from your own site.
Team
- OnlineJobs.ph: where to find virtual assistants for your team.
- Todoist: task management.

Most outbound links financially benefit me and the channel through affiliate programs. The affiliate relationship in no way influences my opinion and I would not endorse programs, products or services I didn’t use or can stand confidently behind.
