Products We Recommend

Below are some of the products we recommend.*  Contact us if you would like some free advice on why we selected a particular product for ourselves or if you need expert consultation on implementation by the hour.

Technical Tools

  • WordPress – This is the most popular content management system used on the web today, especially by small businesses. We have developed many sites using hand-coded HTML but WordPress has become our first choice for most business today due to it’s cost, user-friendliness, adaptability, and plug-ins. Do-It-Yourselfers can even build a WordPress.com site on line for free though there are some reasons not to take this approach.

  • Genesis Wordpress Themes – After studying the most popular WordPress themes we selected Genesis because of what it adds in terms of  security, robustness, and popularity with quality plug-in developers. Given the reasonable cost we would not consider not using it.

  • Bluehost Internet Service Provider – Besides being an excellent provider (e.g., good service, speed, cost for what you get, etc.) Bluehost also allows users to add multiple sites and blogs at no extra cost after the first one.  The cost for the first site also includes, for free, the cost for the domain name as well.

  • BombBomb – Easily create, send, and track all the results of both traditional and video emails. Especially good for business that   use a lot of streaming video like real estate or churches.

  • Active Campaign – Good for when you want to do sophisticated automated email or newsletter campaigns.

Non-Technical Products

  • A Fish Story, a simple guide to successful marketing for small business owners, entrepreneurs and beginning marketers with minimal experience – Steve, one of Leads-Magic.com’s co-founders, wrote this book to help small businessmen start developing a practical understanding of the complexities of marketing. It is a fun and easy parable about what a rookie learns from a champion fishermen about how to catch big bass … and how this is similar to marketing for buyers.

  • LegalShield – If you want legal insurance at a good price this is the best we’ve found. We have tested their attorneys several times with subtle questions and they have been found to be of top quality!  Free professional wills are included as well.    Another indication of product value is the 98% renewal rate; this is amazing for an MLM making it one of the rare few that actually make sense.

  • Amazon.com – We buy most of our many books from Amazon.com.  Even bought a sump pump and a water bike recently.  As you probably well know the prices and reviews are excellent.
