Here are the best blogging resources we use on a daily basis to run our own blog and what we recommend to our own clients.
There are so many tools, plugins and themes out there in the market, but let’s be honest you do not have the time to read every single review and waste time and money on trial and error.
For over 4 years into blogging, we’ve tried almost everything – from the coolest, most popular and sadly, most expensive ones. The truth is, you don’t need a lot of tools, what you need are those that are easy to use, premium quality and give you the results you want.
Web hosting and domain
SiteGround is what we are currently using after having traumatic experience with HostGator. We’ve been using HostGator for few years until few weeks ago that we’ve been having downtime almost everyday that makes us so worried. Get the right hosting for your blog 60% off with this link.
