Education:
PINTEREST TRAFFIC AVALANCHE
BY CREATE AND GO
When it came to determining how I would drive traffic to my website, I knew I wasn’t at the point where I wanted to mess around with the Google Algorithm.
And, without a massive following on Facebook and Instagram I knew I would have to shell out money I didn’t have for ads and promoted posts in order to see significant traffic.
Enter Pinterest.
Alex and Lauren do an amazing job walking their students through setting up a Pinterest business account, creating scroll-stopping pins and implementing a Pinterest strategy designed to skyrocket blog traffic!

SIX-FIGURE BLOGGER BY CREATE AND GO
Trying to start a blog - especially a profitable one - can be extremely overwhelming!
If it wasn’t for this course, I would have been spending SO MUCH TIME researching and countless trial and errors.
Alex and Lauren take their students step by step through the process they used to create a six figure blog.

Convert Kit
Before I started using Convert Kit, I had NO IDEA what was possible when it came to email!
This program is AMAZING.
From designing your own newsletters and managing new opt-ins, to designing automated email sequences and excellent subscriber management features - I can’t recommend Convert Kit enough!
Plus - they offer an amazing FREE option to help you decide if Convert Kit is right for you! (Spoiler alert! It is!)

Social Media Management:
Tailwind
As I mentioned in my first recommendation (Pinterest Avalanche by Create and Go), Pinterest has quickly become my go-to for driving traffic to my website.
And the tool I use to schedule my pins is Tailwind.
Not only do I use Tailwind to schedule all of my pins to post to Pinterest, but it is also an excellent resource for analytics.
Tailwind also offers an amazing Communities feature where you can join groups of like minded bloggers and share each-others content for maximum exposure!
And ANOTHER added bonus - not only do I use Tailwind for my Pinterest scheduling needs - but Instagram, too!

Canva
I’m not gonna lie.
Canva’s use for me goes WAY beyond my work with my blog.
I use it for so much personally as well for projects such as: designing (and printing) Christmas cards, making branded resumes for family members and creating artwork for my home!
On the business side - I use Canva for creating social media graphics (it is a lifesaver with Pinterest Pin creation!), email newsletter images, Instagram posts and so much more!
Not to mention - the paid version of Canva allows users to download from a vast library of premium images! This feature in itself is worth the cost for me.
