Design Software
I have been using Adobe products since 2006.
Education
Learn Coding and more, for free. I’ve taken the HTML course. The courses are super hands-on. Use actual examples of code that you can see working in real time.
Marketing 101 (Worksheet for Small Businesses)
Click here This worksheet is the perfect way to increase your customers. “Why is no one buying my products?” Find out why.
This is a helpful article to learn what is needed to create a Marketing Plan. This is a great follow-up to my Marketing 101 worksheet.
Portfolio
This is where my online portfolio is hosted. I’ve used it for a few years. It’s also a great site to see what other designers are doing. The company is part of Adobe.
Blogging Equipment
My Canon camera is a bridge camera. It is a workhorse and has so many features. The zoom on it is amazing! It has since been discontinued; however, I still recommend Canon for their great cameras.
This is the actual brand of tripod that I use. No complaints after about 4 years.
My Lenovo laptop is about 2 years old. I also use Lenovo at my day job. No complaints. I’ve had my iMac for much longer.
For years I used generic memory cards only to have my data corrupted. Memory cards cannot by generic. Use these.
Website Plugins
I was shocked by the daily spam I got when I first started my blog. It was such a chore to get rid of it. This is what I use to get rid of spam. I don’t even think about spam anymore.
Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights
This plugin makes adding Google Analytics to your site super easy. No need to remember where you put the code.
Blogging Digital Tools
This is the hosting I use for this blog. I’ve used it since the blog started in 2018. I have no complaints. The customer service is attentive and my site is always fast and bug-free.
Planoly is a great tool to schedule Social Media posts. My favorite thing about it is that you set it and forget it. Automation at its best.
MailChimp automates emails to my audience to let them know when I have a new blog post. This is a great site for email newsletters of any kind.
This is another great resource for email newsletters. I used this in the past. And while I don’t currently use this, I highly recommend it. The interface is much easier to use than MailChimp.
