Blogging Tools
These are the top blogging tools I recommend and use.
My blog is self-hosted via WordPress.org, and my theme of choice is Astra. It is free, but they do have a Pro version. I’m using the free version at the moment, supplemented with some WordPress plugins.
Make sure to check out my Blogging Tips blog posts, and Social Media blog posts for more information, and visit Internet Wages for advice about making money online.
Here are the other tools I use for blogging. Some of these are affiliate links, meaning I earn a commission.
WordPress Plugins
- Milotree WordPress Plugin. I use this for the little corner pop-ups you may see across my blog. These link to my Facebook Page and Pinterest Profile, and definitely help convert viewers into followers.
- Yoast SEO is essential. Utilising SEO on my blog posts brings in a lot of organic traffic from Google. Yoast is free to use and I swear by it. Yoast also have some free courses about SEO, I recommend taking those!
I’ll be writing a blog post featuring all of the WordPress plugins soon, so stay tuned for that.
Social Media Management + Scheduling
- I use Tweetdeck for scheduling tweets and managing multiple Twitter accounts. It’s free.
- I use Tailwind for scheduling Pinterest pins, and connecting with other bloggers on Pinterest. It’s not essential for Pinterest, but I find it helpful. You can get a free trial of Tailwind here.

Books + Courses
The Ultimate Pinterest Guide
I have personally bought several Pinterest Courses over the years. Big Pin Energy is my favourite. In February 2020, I smashed my blog goals, with the highest number of views and sessions I’ve ever had! I really recommend it if you want to learn how to use Pinterest effectively with their new algorithm changes.
I am now reaching an average of 28,000 sessions every month + 30,000 page views! I even had a viral pin that brought me 12,000 views in one day. I can’t wait to see where I’m headed in the future.
My June 2020 Referrer Stats are featured below… notice how much higher my Pinterest clicks are compared to Twitter or Facebook!
Additional Blogging Books + Resources I Recommend
- The Blogging Babe Planner.
- Boost Blog Traffic Ebook by TheSheApproach.
- Viral Pin Templates for Canva by Blogging Babe.
Skillshare
I have learned so much from various courses & classes I’ve taken on Skillshare. The courses I’ve taken vary from blogging, SEO, and affiliate marketing, to crafts and DIY.
You can try out unlimited Skillshare courses for two months, completely free with this link.
The Self Care Mini Bundle
I write often about Self-Care and how it has helped my mental health and wellbeing. I purchased the bundle of Self-Care resources featured below, and I love it.
The Self Care Mini Bundle is on sale for a limited time at $29.99, with exclusive free bonus products. This bundle contains 22 fantastic resources, including ebooks, e-courses and workbooks valued at nearly $600.
It focuses on three categories: Mind, Body and Soul, featuring resources from some of my favourite experts and bloggers, including Jessica Dimas from the blog Dwell in Magic. Her writing is so inspiring.
Affiliate Programs
Affiliate marketing is a great way for bloggers and social media influencers to earn an income online. I share all about the ways I earn money online as a micro-influencer and writer over on Internet Wages.
Here I’ll be recommending my top-performing affiliate programs. Some of these are referral links, meaning I earn a commission.
- Ultimate Bundles. This is my favourite platform for affiliate marketing. Ultimate Bundles pay a 40% commission rate, and provide many resources for helping you succeed. Anyone can join for free. I believe in their products as a customer myself, and I’ve learned a lot since joining.
- I also use AWIN and Amazon Associates, although their commission rates are lower than Ultimate Bundles. I mainly use these for linking to specific products like books, makeup or skincare if I write about them. AWIN generally pays more than Amazon Associates, and you can find many premade ad graphics on there to add to your blog sidebar etc. Commission rates vary per brand, but pretty much all the household-name companies you might like to work with are on AWIN.
- If you’re interested in Amazon Associates, the best-performing commission for me actually comes from promoting their free trials of Prime, Prime Student, and Audible. Check out the Amazon Affiliate Affluence Ebook for everything you need to know about Amazon’s Affiliate program, and how to earn more from it. The writer of this ebook earns over $1000 per month just from Amazon!
For a more in-depth look at Affiliate Programs for bloggers, check out this brilliant resource from TheSheApproach. It includes 500+ programs and a video walkthrough. If you’re completely new to affiliate marketing, I’d recommend taking this free email course!
