There are so many options in the world of blogging. So many resources (with varying degrees of ‘expertise’). The following are the resources I have used and really loved.

Website tools:

Website Host: Chemicloud

If you’re just starting a blog or have been doing it for a while, Chemicloud is a great website host option. I used two others prior, and the customer service I’ve received has been the best with Chemicloud. And as a bonus, their prices are great!

Theme: Kadence

I formerly used the Genesis platform with a child theme, but more recently switched to Kadence to improve my site speed, and I love it for the customization abilities! I opted for the membership so that I’d have all the options I could ever want for the site.

Check out System: Thrive Cart

For my checkout process, I started using Thrive Cart about six months ago. Their checkout page looks so clean and is customizable. I highly recommend the pro version as it takes care of the taxes for you and also allows you to create a subdomain.

Pinterest Scheduler: Tailwind

I use Tailwind to schedule all of my Pinterest pins. It makes it easy to schedule intervals and share in groups (called communities) with other site owners.

Email service provider: Flodesk

I’ve been using Flodesk as my email service provider for almost a year now. You can’t beat the $19 month price for an unlimited list size. That said, it is in beta currently and there are some limitations to the integrations currently available. However, I’ve found it to still be workable and I think they make the best looking forms and emails!

Legal: Jade & Oak

There are quite a few legal aspects to starting a profitable blog. I took the Jade & Oak blog and be legal class and found it easy to follow and understand. I liked that it was broken down in sections, so I could listen to only the sections I needed for now, but have the other information available as a reference later on.
