Blogging Recommendations
Wondering where to invest your time and money?
Take it from someone who has gone before you.
I like to call myself a course junkie, I’m obsessed with educating myself so that I can get things done the right way-not the hard way. I’d love to share my blogging recommendations with you!
I would never recommend anything I haven’t personally used or verified! If you’re looking to organize your courses make sure to scroll to the end of this page and let me help you with that!

GETTING STARTED BLOGGING

Hosting
If you’re just starting out I recommend Siteground. Like most bloggers I began with hosting my site with Bluehost and I can’t tell you how much I regret that decision. Siteground is a wonderful first start choice.
If you have higher traffic and would like fully managed hosting I recommend BigScoots. They are who I currently use and I’m loving them!
