Which tools and resources does Hilary Erickson recommend for mom bloggers?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse.

Based on what I’ve shared publicly, here are a few tools and resources I recommend or personally use in my blogging business:

• WordPress with paid hosting – I’ve said many times that being on WordPress “will pay for itself”
• SEO tools – I use RankIQ and really like it for search optimization
• Scheduling and organization – a calendar/scheduling program for podcast and meeting bookings
• Legal help – Jamie at Hashtag Legal for trademarks, terms, privacy policies, etc.
• Lifetime software deals – I often buy lifetime licenses via places like AppSumo to save long term
• Courses and conferences – selective courses on very specific skills (like segmented newsletters), plus blogging/online business conferences for networking and learning

What part of blogging are you focused on right now—traffic, monetization, or content systems?
