Frase
Frase is an AI research and writing assistant that empowers content creators to go from keyword to well-researched, SEO-optimized articles faster and better. I love using it to speed up my research and outline work, then write and optimize top-ranking articles manually.

SEMrush
SEMrush is an all-in-one digital marketing tool suite that helps businesses with SEO, PPC, content marketing, social media, and competitive research. I recently switched to start using it (instead of Ahrefs) and I’m loving every minute of it. It provides insights and analytics to improve online visibility, optimize advertising strategies, and track competitors’ performance across various digital channels.
Keywords Everywhere
Keywords Everywhere is an excellent SEO research tool that anyone can use without breaking the bank. Do SEO, content marketing, competitor research, PPC and social media marketing right as you browse the web.
WordPress Tools
Namecheap
I use Namecheap to host all of the URL domains that I managed for my own projects — and my clients. We’ve tested other hosting companies, but no one else beats their top-notch customer service and bullet-proof hosting servers.
If you don’t want to run into website issues that break your website, try using Namecheap.
Flywheel WordPress Hosting
If you use WordPress for your website, then Flywheel is ALWAYS my first recommendation for a hosting company. Their speed and security are top-notch in the industry, and their “Tiny” website plan is only $150 for one website.
Seriously, don’t risk your business’ online reputation using a low-quality hosting company just to save a few bucks. If your proud of your business, then trust your site to a fast, professional, always-friendly company like Flywheel.
Content Marketing Tools
TinyPNG
TinyPNG.com is user-friendly tool designed to speed up image compression on websites (drag-and-drop). It simplifies the process by automatically reducing file size without compromising image quality, making it ideal for optimizing website performance and loading speed.
ConvertKit
ConvertKit is an email marketing platform that helps businesses and creators grow their audience and connect with their subscribers through targeted and personalized email campaigns. It offers features such as customizable sign-up forms, automation workflows, subscriber segmentation, and detailed analytics to help users effectively reach their target audience and convert them into customers.
Figma
Figma is a collaborative interface design tool that allows teams to create, prototype, and iterate on designs in real-time. Its cloud-based platform enables seamless collaboration, version control, and access to design files from anywhere.
If you’re getting annoyed with the limitations of Canva, but too busy to learn Photoshop, then you’ll love Figma.
