If you’re feeling a bit creative check out Canva pro. This is one of our favorite design tools that made our life easier with little to no effort. We’ve created killer book teasers, social media post images images, fun images into our book formatting, plus much much more.

My all-time favorite email service, and yes, I have tried many of them. Mailerlite was one of the first email service to adopt GDPR rules.
AppSumo is a fabulous site that you should keep an eye on. We’ve received email reminders for some fabulous tools and deals! One deal that we loved and couldn’t resist was the 100 deposit photos for just $39.
Elementor is an intuitive, front-end site builder for WordPress. It empowers designers to take full control over their sites and complete projects faster than ever before.
Pros:
Your website is an invaluable asset. Think of it as your virtual office. In some cases, it’s your own ATM, too. This is why you want to be extremely careful who you entrust it to. And BlueHost is a top candidate for hosting.
Pros:
I gave siteground a try and currently using it on readercentral and I couldn’t be more happier with their service – I now use them for all of my author websites. I HIGHLY recommend SiteGround.
