ALL THINGS BLOGGING:
Blogging has been such an incredible addition to my life and I want you to be able to experience how blogging can greatly affect your life, too. Below I have listed a few of my very favorite blogging tools that I find extremely helpful, and I think you will, too.
SiteGround
SiteGround is the hosting company that I use for my blog. I was originally hosted through Bluehost, but after having several issues with them I decided to switch to SiteGround (they offer free website transfer, thank goodness!) and I have been very happy with them.
Their page load speeds are incredible, their customer service is extremely helpful and KIND, and they have a 99.99% uptime rate! SiteGround offers a great rate at only $3.95/month.
Traffic Transformation Guide
Now that you’ve got your new blog hosted and great content on it’s way, you’ll need a strategy to get people to read your stuff. In Lena Gott’s Traffic Transformation Guide she lays out all the steps that she took to get from no page views to 400,000 a month! Lena knows her stuff and it shows in her ecourse!
Pinteresting Strategies
Carly Campbell’s ebook, Pinteresting Strategies, shows you the exact steps to take to up your Pinterest game, stay on Pinterest’s GOOD SIDE and gain loads upon loads of traffic from Pinterest – and she doesn’t even require that you buy a pin scheduler. That’s the part that totally sold me! Carly gets over 400k views each month with a majority of those coming from Pinterest, so you can bet she knows what she’s doing!
ShareASale
Find a sponsor for your website. Get paid for your great content. shareasale.com.
If you are at all serious about monetizing your site and making money from it, then I suggest signing up with ShareASale. It is completely free, and gives you access to tons of different affiliate programs that you can apply for and (once accepted) start promoting products that you love and start earning money from it.
Grammarly
If you want to have a successful blog, I strongly suggest getting some kind of grammar and spelling checker.
I use Grammarly and can’t recommend them enough! Grammarly helps me write professional content, and catches any errors that I make along the way. You can get them absolutely free through my link by clicking here.
Ultimate Bundles
If you have a blog, you want to be a part of this. Ultimate Bundles is an affiliate program that you can easily sign up for, and as soon as you get accepted you can start promoting! Every bundle they offer is 90-90% off, and you earn 40% commission! Why wait, what’s there to lose?
Elegant Themes
Elegant Themes are the greatest themes around – in my opinion! I am currently using their Extra theme on my blog, and I love it! The customization options are endless, and I’ve never had to enter a single code. Ever.
