BLOGGING Resources
WEBSITE HOSTING
Siteground is the reason my blog makes money. It’s not the cheapest hosting plan around but it’s definitely the best! If you’re looking to migrate from another host such as WordPress(dot)com, they offer the service too, and their customer support is outstanding. Read my complete review here.
VISUAL MARKETING
With over 100+ boards, handling Pinterest manually is just NOT possible. I also use Tailwind to automate Instagram. This helps me work on these two channels only on my weekend and schedule weekly/monthly posts to maximise my traffic.
Not a graphic designer? Neither am I. Use Canva for free or pay for an upgrade, either way it is the most powerful tool to create ALL your blog graphics. I use it to design my headers, logos, social media graphics and even Instagram story templates!
MONETIZATION
Want to create a course, free or paid? Start a membership site? Teachable is the most popular choice for creating, hosting and selling online courses and memberships.
KEYWORD RESEARCH + SEO
Keysearch
If there is only 1 blogging tool you ever pay for, it is this one. If I found and used this tool from the beginning of my blogging journey, I’d be sitting at 3x the organic traffic. It’s the most affordable and versatile keyword research tool that you can ever find. Use my link and discount code KSDISC to get 20% off on your plan!
