Below you'll find the services and resources I use to run my business.

Grow by Mediavine
Grow by Mediavine is a free social sharing plugin that's available to everyone–even if you aren't a Mediavine publisher.
Create by Mediavine
Create by Mediavine is another free plugin for everyone–even if you aren't a Mediavine publisher. Create allows you to craft multiple Schema.org types using just one plugin. Right now, you can use it for recipes, how-tos, and lists (perfect for roundups!).
Fiverr
Fiverr is a marketplace where you can purchase “gigs.” These gigs can be anything from designing a logo to creating a printable to being an all-around virtual assistant.
I've had some great experiences working with the freelancers on Fiverr, but I've had a few that weren't so great. So, keep that in mind when you're shopping.
MailerLite
My email provider is MailerLite. It's easy to use with their awesome templates.
Evernote
Evernote is an awesome note-taking app that I have used for years. I have everything in there–including my furnace filter sizes because who remembers those when you're at the store to buy them?
Evernote has an app for your mobile devices, a desktop application, and a web application. All of these sync, so you'll always have the latest information.
Link Whisper
Internal links are important for your site. But if you have lots of posts on the site, you may not remember that you have the perfect post to link to.
That's where Link Whisper comes in. It gives you relevant suggestions of posts that you can link to.
Restored 316 WordPress Themes
I love the Restored 316 WordPress themes! I use one on this site and one on my Cub Scout Ideas blog too. Even though they have a feminine look, you can easily customize them to suit your needs.
If you aren't sure what theme is best for your business, click on over and take their quiz!
ShortPixel
Fast sites are super important these days. But many of us have huge image files on our sites, and that really slows things down. I have used ShortPixel to compress my images for the last 3 years, and I'm very happy with the results.
Canva
I'm not good at design, so I rely on Canva Pro! It's a super easy design platform that will make your graphics look awesome.
