Resources
I get asked a lot for recommendations for programs and services so I’ve compiled a list of my favorite tools and resources. I have used each of these in my business or for clients. If you do choose to use one of these tools, I encourage you to consider if it is the best choice for your business.
Resources marked with an * are affiliate links. If you buy something through one of these links you won’t pay any extra but I’ll get a small commission. I’ve used the resources below and recommend them without the affiliate. I suggest them because they are useful and not because of the small commission I make if you decide to purchase using my link. You are under no circumstances obligated to purchase the items listed below.

*Fathom provides thorough but easy-to-understand information about your website visitors and is focused on privacy for website visitors, it doesn’t track them or save their personal information.
