Here are some of my top recommended resources and tools that I think you could find valuable. Some of the links are affiliate links which means I would receive a small commission if you decide to buy anything but you would still get the best deal. Also, my recommendations are based either on my personal experiences or on the strong endorsements by people I trust.

- Namecheap (get your firstnamelastname.com or .me or .net or the like). I always recommend that people grab their own domain name matching their personal names as closely as possible before someone else nabs it.

Email marketing:
- ConvertKit (email marketing for professional bloggers)
- AWeber
