Plugins for WordPress
AliDropship Woo
If you are looking to building your dropshipping store on WordPress rather than on Shopify, this is my top pick.
It will help you easily import aliexpress products into your store and semi-automate the ordering process. This includes lifetime updates & support. Watch me setup a store using AliDropship.
Sucuri
I have additional security for this website and other important websites to prevent getting hacked. I had one instance where I had a bunch of websites hosted on one hosting and one got infected then affected the rest but the team at Sucuri helped me clean it up. Highly recommended! Protect your assets today!

This is the plugin I use to take bookings for a local car repair shop. It integrates with Google Calendar and works pretty well after you’ve set it up. This is one of the highest rated plugins on codecanyon.

This is a top-rated membership plugin on codecanyon with over 13,000 sales and 4.5/5 star reviews. It includes everything you need to start your own membership website today.

W3 Total Cache
Increase Performance of your website and speed up its load times. I use MAXCDN in conjuction with this for super fast load times. For beginners, try their 100GB Bandwith plan which will be $6.75/month with 25% OFF.

This is what I personally use to capture screen videos for my tutorials & reviews. It’s incredibly easy to use and you can also use it to edit regular footage.
Camtasia (PC)
This is the equivalent for screen capturing for PC’s.
Canon EOS 80D DSLR
This is my first DSLR and I did alot of research and ended up purchasing this one. It’s very versatile, it can take great images and also record videos at a reasonable price. Overall, I highly recommend for YouTubers.
MacBook Pro Retina (Touch Bar)
Great build quality and easy to bring with me when travelling but also powerful enough for video editing. I have the 8GB version, But if you can – get the 16GB+ versions.
