Early Learning Recommendations

Blogging Recommendations
Starting a blog was the precursor to me starting my online business. If you are interested in blogging here are the resources I recommend for getting started.
Domain
A domain is an online address. Here, my domain is damngoodmom.com. I renew my domain every year so that I can continue being found on the internet with this name. Although many hosting companies offer free domains, I recommend having your domain separate from your host. The company I use for purchasing domains is below.
Hosting
To have a website or blog, you will need a hosting company. It’s the company that will help you store (on servers) and manage the files you share online. I’ve used each of the hosting companies below and I recommend them to people depending on their budget and commitment level when getting started.
- Bluehost – Affordable and great for beginners.
- Siteground – Affordable for new users but renewable is pricey.
- Bigscoots – Affordable and great for users who need monthly pricing options.
Themes
You theme control how your blog or website will appear to your visitors. If you enjoy code and have the time, you can create and design your own theme. I prefer to use premade feminine themes that are easy to customize, change, and keep up-to-date. My favorite themes are listed below.
- 17th Avenue {Genesis}
- Sparrow & Snow {Elementor Page Builder}
- Astra {Elementor Page Builder}
Emails Service Providers
Once you have your site up and going and you begin getting visitors, you will want a way to stay in-contact with them. They are the people you want to service and continue creating for. I’ve used these emails service providers and recommend them to people depending on their goals with their email list.
- Convertkit – Easy to use but pricey especially as your email list grows.
- Flodesk – Beautiful designs and affordable but lacks segmenting features and analytic data that is available with other providers.
- Mailchimp – The OG of the email service providers. It’s affordable, has great templates, and integrates with most other programs you’ll use as a blogger, however, it’s not the easiest to learn.
