Blogging resources

If you're looking to monetise your site then I highly recommend Awin. They are an affiliate network with hundreds of well-known brands who you can promote via content, banners and social.

They also have an opportunity marketplace where you can post your blog and social media services for brands to see.

It costs £5 to sign up, but you'll get that back in your first pay-out. The minimum threshold is £20 for a pay-out.

I use Tailwind to schedule my Pinterest pins and to share other content on Pinterest at the best times for engagement.  It creates a smart schedule for your content and spreads it out so you don't flood your feed with content all at once. 

I also use the Tribes feature to share my content with likeminded bloggers who will retweet it in return for me sharing their content, so we all reach a wider audience.  I use the Loop feature to create recurring Pins for my evergreen and popular content.

It also has Instagram management, but I've not explored this yet.

Direct.me offers a link in bio service which can also optionally be monetized!

On sites such as Instagram where you can only add one link to your profile, they allow you to link to a profile page with a list of links you want to direct your followers to, such as different blog posts or other social media platforms.

You can even ask for donations for coffee from your followers or sell them exclusive services.
