Blogging Resources

On this page, you will find a list of ALL the resources that I use to run Sew Some Stuff. I’ve been using most of these resources for quite a while now which means they are absolutely reliable and you can get them without any worries about them being spams or fake sites. 

Disclaimer: Some links displayed here are affiliate links.

 Find out what resources I use to run my professional blog in this post

Webhosting

Webhosting is the most important thing you would need the moment you want to set up a self hosted site. For a long time I had been on Godaddy. Although their plan was quite affordable I just HATED their customer service as well as their speed.

Recently I switched to Siteground and I’M TOTALLY IN LOVE with them for two awesome reasons:

  1. Their database makes the site load in a blink of an eye literally
  2. LOVE their customer support. I got my issues resolved in minutes through their easily accessible chat service which was impossible with Godaddy. 

Their plans are also quite affordable. Click here for more info.

Social Media Tools

  1. For Pinterest scheduling: Tailwind Read my tips on using Tailwind to drastically increase followers. Using this tool I doubled my followers in 2.5 months and they have been growing sporadically since then. I’m also a huge fan of Boardbooster and I use both the tools side by side.
  2. To collect emails: Hello Bar/Chipmate
  3. Social sharing buttons: Ultimate Social Deux

Earn while Blogging

Top affiliate marketing programs to join

There are many ways to earn through blogging. One of the easiest way is through affiliate marketing. In other words, you get paid for recommending something to your readers. 

I have tried several affiliate link platforms like Link share and Commission Junction, and hands down Share a sale is the best among them. This is the only affiliate marketing network through which I have made some bucks. So, I definitely recommend it. Click here to join Share a sale now.

So, what do you do next after joining Share A Sale? Sign up for the following merchants! Yes, it’s that simple.

Here are some of my favorite sellers from Shareasale which give you bonuses to post about their offers on your blog now and then. Even if I haven’t made any sale I can earn quite an amount by writing these short gigs.

  • Mabel’s Labels
  • Craftsy: Best affiliate program if you run a creative blog. Their site contains awesome online classes that you can recommend to your readers and earn commissions.
  • Creative Bug: Similar to Craftsy
  • Stella & Dot 
  • Gazelle: All about buying and selling gadgets. Your readers can earn money by handing over their old gadgets, you earn a commission too.
  • Tea Collection
  • Jane: Doesn’t have bonus posts but it is great deal site. You can share the deals with your readers and earn rewards. 
  • Ultimate Bundles: UB provides super awesome e-book and e-course bundles for several different areas like healthy living, blogging, DIY, photography etc. For every bundle you sell you get a commission of 40% which is HUGE. So, you really want to join this program!

Tip: You also might want to read this book by Tasha on affiliate marketing. After reading this book I went from earning literally $0 to $66  in 4 months. Here’s a shot of my earnings on Amazon.

Theme and other appearance setting:

I use the Sprinkle theme by Restored 316 Designs and absolutely love it to the core! For this theme to work you would first need a child theme which you can purchase from StudioPress. This framework will take your blog literally to the NEXT level. It’s a great investment to make your blog look pro and stand out in the crowd.

To organize my posts as you might have seen on the Tutorials page I use the super awesome Essential Grid plugin. Just LOVE it to the core.

E-mail Subscription Service:

Setting up an e-mail subscription service for your readers is the best thing you can do for blog. E-mails are a great way to get in touch with your readers. Sending out a newsletter every now and then provides a great option to share your recent blog posts, promotions etc. There are a lot of e-mail subscription services available but the cheapest and best so far for me is MailChimp. Easy to use and easy to set up and it’s free for up to 2500 subscribers. And their support? SUPERB! If you get stuck anytime you can send them an e-mail or chat with them online and your problem would be solved in a minute. Click here to set up MailChim account now.

Also don’t forget to check out my Blogging Help Centre board on Pinterest. I have tons of helpful links that worked really well for me.

📣📣Sew Some Stuff ANNOUNCEMENT 📣📣 . Hey 📣📣Sew Some Stuff ANNOUNCEMENT 📣📣
.
Hey, sewing buddies! 
Sew Some Stuff has changed to Crafty Pink Ninja. .
.
HERE'S WHY
.
.
For the past few months I had been struggling to find a new direction for my blog as it was falling apart. .
So 3 months ago to test out an idea I started a new account @cricutmakercrafts which has grown tremendously in three months. I think that was a sign to move onto a new chapter. .
So, I decided to start fresh with a new blog where I could share everything related to crafting and not just limited to sewing hence Crafty Pink Ninja was born. .
The old blog (sewsomestuff.com) will stay however all the social media accounts will change to Crafty Pink Ninja. .
I'll be keeping this account just to claim the blog handle Crafty Pink Ninja and will be hanging out on my new account @cricutmakercrafts. .
All the bag making stuff will be shared on @onlinebagpreneur and the Online Bag Biz Facebook Group. .
All the sewing lessons will stay up on sewsomestuff.com for you to access whenever you like. .
Hope that makes sense as it may seem confusing. Let me know if you have any questions. 
Thanks a bunch! ❤❤❤
