Ezoic
Ezoic is the ultimate ad network for medium-sized blogs that are looking to expand their monthly revenue. This premium ad network uses AI and advanced algorithms to get you the highest CPM possible on your ads.
Bluehost (from $2.95/month)
In order to successfully run any business online, you need a platform where you’re in total control of everything. With Bluehost combined with WordPress, you can begin building out your website instantly. This full integration of hosting, website, and domain purchasing through Bluehost makes them a no-brainer pick for me.
Astra (freemium)
Astra is an amazing theme for WordPress that I recommend to people if Thrive Themes is out of reach. It’s responsive, easily customizable, and the free version has more than enough features for every website I’ve built with it.
Ahrefs
Ahrefs has grown from being a link index to a complete SEO Dashboard and phenomenal keyword research tool. The keyword analytics provided by Ahrefs make it a must-have if you have the extra cash to invest.
Elementor (from $99/year)
Elementor is the best way to format your WordPress website, hands down. Its intuitive drag-and-drop builder makes the process painless and simple and results in visually-stunning pages. Once you try it, you’ll never go back.
Shopify (from $9/month)
Shopify is, by far, the king of ecommerce platforms. Not only is it ridiculously simple to use, but it’s also very customizable, extremely affordable, and surprisingly diverse in its applications. Using Shopify as a means to monetize your website is a simple and rewarding step.
KWFinder (from $29.90/month)
KWFinder is my go-to for keyword research. The interface is simple to understand for even beginners, the data points that they present are detailed and plentiful, and the price is easy on the wallet.
