The Ultimate Toolbox
of Digital Resources
for Digital Leadership
This is not your typical resource list. It’s my toolbox. I have either used these tools, am currently using them, or I’m familiar and impressed enough with them that I can wholeheartedly recommend them.
You should be aware that most of the links on this page are my affiliate referral links. This doesn’t affect your cost at all, but should you make a purchase after clicking one of my links, I would earn a commission. And for that, I’d be totally grateful to you! 🙂
Online Business & Digital Marketing Tools
ConvertKit
My email marketing app of choice is ConvertKit. Their setup and support is stellar. It’s incredibly easy to send emails. Their segmentation tools are unmatched. Their support is strong. And it was built by bloggers for bloggers and affiliate marketers.
