Tools of the Trade

Over the past several months I have been asked many times about the tools that I am using to create and manage Family Before Fortune, my tools of the trade. When I started actively posting on a weekly basis (over a year ago…wow already), I had a very simple wordpress site and a laptop. I really had no idea what I was doing, nor did I know about all the tools could save me a lot of time and make the experience (your experience) better. As I have traveled this journey I have picked up a few ideas and made adjustments as education has encouraged.

This week, for the first time, I consciously sat down and laid out my entire arsenal on one page. This week I put together a “Resources Page”(you may have noticed it in the navigation bar). It took me quite a while to brainstorm and list everything that I am currently using and how I am using each piece of equipment, software and/or training/lesson.

I was pretty surprised to see just how far I have come from my first blog post (text only, no pictures) to where we are today, the journey and growth. As I have learned new things and experimented with different ideas I have found better ways to do things. My little blog has grown to include a podcast, have a theme and a goal. And my audience has grown too (thank you by the way)!! It has been amazing to see what can be accomplished on a laptop with an internet connection.

I encourage you to check out my new “Resources Page”  and I hope that you find it interesting, enjoyable, education and motivating. On the page you will find

  • The tools I use for my blog
  • The tools I use for my podcast
  • Website I love
  • The “Essential Eight” – 8 books you must read.
  • Webtools I can’t live without
  • Podcasts I listen to
  • Social media tools I use
  • Plugins
  • & much more

To access the new resources page you can click the “Resources” link in the title bar above or just click here.

I am curious to know what you think- did I miss anything, which tools do you use? Let me know in the comments section below.
