Tools I Actually Use to Run This Blog
Every tool below is something I’ve used myself or thoroughly researched before it earned a spot here, not just a list of whatever pays the best commission. I’ll say plainly where a tool’s a daily habit versus something I tried and moved on from. If you click through and buy something, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Hostinger
What this blog runs on. Reliable, affordable WordPress hosting with solid support the couple of times I’ve needed it.

MailerLite
My current email platform. Clean interface, a genuinely useful free plan, and a landing page builder that means I don’t need a separate tool.

Kit (formerly ConvertKit)
Built specifically for creators, with strong automation. It’s the platform I’m planning to move to as my list grows.

SEOWriting AI
Part of my actual drafting workflow for this blog. Helps me get a first pass down faster, though every draft still gets a full edit before it goes anywhere near “published.”

Canva
I use this daily, for Pinterest pins, hero images, everything visual on this site. The free plan is genuinely enough to get started with.
