Resources for bloggers and business owners

20 useful resources for bloggers and business owners

Since I’m taking a couple of weeks off from my blog, I’ve decided to make a list of my favorite posts for bloggers and creative entrepreneurs.

At the beginning of this year, I made a decision to post more often. At first, I wanted to help those that try to design their own blog with Photoshop and coding tutorials, but as I started to learn more about blogging and running a business, I also wanted to write about these subjects.

Here are my favorite articles for bloggers and creative entrepreneurs that I’ve written this year:

Blogging:

  1. My process for creating blog posts
  2. Create a style guide for your blog
  3. Easy to follow SEO tips
  4. How to keep your WordPress blog safe
  5. Why Blogger is still a good blogging platform
  6. Tools for amazing blog graphics
  7. How to give your blog a makeover
  8. Premade theme vs. custom blog design
  9. How to choose the perfect premade blog theme
  10. Changing your blog’s name

Business:

  1. Tools for creative business owners
  2. Design contract terms
  3. How to convert inquiries into paying customers
  4. Why I prefer emails instead of calls when working on a custom design
  5. Setting up an online store
  6. Where to sell digital products
  7. The pros and cons of giving away free content
  8. Changing the name of your blog and business

I hope these posts were useful. I will continue to share more about blogging and running a creative business in the future. Follow me on Bloglovin’ if you want to see them right when they’re published.
