A collection of my favorite blogging resources & tools to help emerging entrepreneurs build an online business.
Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I might earn a small commission if you love something as much as I do, but I only recommend tools that I’ve tried and tested. Read the full disclosure here.
Favorite Marketing Tools
Flodesk
Email Marketing
Automate, grow and nurture your email list with Flodesk. While there are many others that I have tried, so far Flodesk has been the easiest to use and integrates with WordPress via Zapier.
Canva
Graphic Design
Canva is my go-to for making simple elegant and easy designs. Canva has thousands of pre-made templates that help make cohesive brand design.
Creative Market
Online Marketplace
A place to shop for templates either for blog design templates or Canva templates. I’ve used this for WordPress themes.
Favorite Website Tools
Bluehost Webhosting
Self-hosting has always been my go-to. Bluehost is also beginner friendly (in my opinion) and works very well with managing a self-hosted website. It’s also used by a lot of other trusted bloggers and is the #1 recommended whether you’re just starting out or have already started in the online space.
WordPress.org
While similar to WordPress, WordPress.org is free to use. You do need your own hosting plan which my favorite is mentioned to the left. There are thousands of themes available to fully customize the look and feel of your website.
These are just some of the tools I use. As I get more familiar with other such as Tailwind, or Planoly, I may recommend those as well. As mentioned above, these are tools I personally use and I definitely wouldn’t want to recommend something I haven’t fully explored yet myself. If these tools worked for you as a beginner please let me know. I’d love to hear your experiences.
