Magpie Girl takes pride in featuring services and products you can count on. Doing some soulwork? Building your soulful business? Need a little help getting over the next hurdle? Here are the books, courses, services, and coaches that get my gold star.

On Line Services for Soulful Business

Sign up with E-JunkieEjunkie is a good site for selling your eBooks, eCourses and other products. The service coordinates with PayPal, tracks your sales, and sends out a thank you email after purchase. You can also offer to profit-share sales with people who promote you (affiliate marketing.) I use Ejunkie to sell my book SoulRetreats: how to host a tribe with art and soul.

I’ve been using Dreamhost for years. Here’s what I like about them: I get 1 free domain registration. I can register additional domains through them rather than using a separate registrar. I can host unlimited domains, and subdomains. I get nearly unlimited bandwidth, disk space, and MySQL databases. I have FTP access. And best of all, they have super easy one-click installs for WordPress, Gallery, Joomla, MediaWiki, and more. Plus, they send out a cheeky monthly newsletter. You know I like cheeky!
