These are some of my favorite tools for running a business and a blog. I’ve included my affiliate links where possible, but I only recommend tools I faithfully use and love myself! I hope they are helpful to you!

Hosting

SiteGround– This is who I use to host my website- the price is amazing and you can choose a package based on your page views. Also one of the things I love the most about Siteground is their amazing customer service. They’re so helpful! 

Blog

WordPress.org – I chose WordPress because it provides a robust platform for building a secure website and blogging format. Moreover, WordPress is super easy to use and I was used to it already because I started my blog on WordPress.com. 

E-Books & E-Courses

Pinterest with Ell – This course is one of my favorites and one of the first courses I’ve ever bought. I still go back to it every now and then to refresh my skills. Ell is a true Pinterest Pro and her course will help you skyrocket your blog views. 

Pinterest Perfect – This is another Pinterest related course which I followed and really liked. It’s full of examples and easily explained the Pinterest strategy you want to learn. 

SEO for Bloggers – This ebook is fully focused on SEO and I’m so happy I bought this. I thought I knew 80% of SEO but I was so wrong! The best ways to improve your SEO are in this ebook!

Keyword Research For Bloggers – This ebook is perfect if you want to focus on improving your keyword research. Keywords are so important to rank in Google so I loved learning more about this subject. 

Social Media Scheduling

Tailwind – Even though Pinterest changed their algorithm lately, I still think Tailwind is beneficial when it comes to repinning your own content to multiple boards. 

Buffer – I love using Buffer to schedule a couple of Tweets to go live on Twitter. I pretty much otherwise would forget to promote my blog on there. 

Planning

Magical Life Calendar – In order to organize my blogging tasks and manage my other to do’s, I use this yearly printable planner to keep me sane.
