CONVERT KIT

An email list is the #1 asset of your business. It’s your direct connection with your readers (and it’s a big deal that they’ve given you access to their inbox)! This is where you make your money so you NEED to have a great provider that allows you to send them great free content, tailor your emails specifically to their needs, and make sure you don’t bother them with email overload. Convert Kit is the best at this – it’s the only email provider that I recommend.Read more about how I use it here. 

CREATIVE MARKET

Anything that I need for my business I get from Creative Market. Fonts, graphics, photos, etc. I love that it supports real creatives and small business owners. Plus it’s the best spot BY FAR to find WordPress themes. They’re all gorgeous and affordable so I think all new entrepreneurs should try it out. You don’t need an expensive designer to create an awesome website.

IN MOTION

I host my blog with In Motion and I think they’re the best. I decided on them because you get a free domain, they have awesome customer support, and lots of features (like unlimited email accounts). Plus they’re not crazy expensive and they back up all your data for free (other hosting providers can charge a lot for this). Read more advice about hosting here but I use In Motion for all of my sites.
