List Builders Society

List Builders Society® by Amy Porterfield is one of my favorite courses for learning out to build an email list, create a content marketing plan and how to identify your ICA (ideal customer avatar). While it’s great for beginners, even though I took this as a more experienced entrepreneur, I still got TONS of value from it.

Buzzsprout is the hosting platform for my podcast. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Buzzsprout for many reasons but in short, it makes it easy-peasy to upload your audio files then it takes care of the rest. The UX is great, it’s been super reliable and it’s very affordable.

While the companies and products listed are affiliate links, they are not sponsors and they do not pay to be on this page. The tools and companies listed here are one’s that myself and/or my agency uses and trusts.

There are also a lot of other great options for tools in the Divi, WordPress and wider Web Design market that may suite you, your budget and your needs. These are simply the ones in my toolbox 🙂
