Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 23 July 2018

Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 23 July 2018 I was amazed at all the jobs that came in over the weekend and all I can say is I am truly blessed. When a friend emailed me and asked if I could help her and her daughter start a blog to promote her singing career. I let her know I would get back to her as I was busy and needed to finish a task I had pending.

Then I went to look for the prompt for this morning’s Ultimate Blog Challenge and it was like the Lord was speaking to me and giving me the answer to my friend’s question. I didn’t have to struggle anymore as I had a plan and knew I would be able to help her as long as she listened to me and would do the things I asked her to.

Today’s prompt:

In your niche is there a tool you find indispensable in your day to day activities? Do you use a program or website that you feel like you absolutely have to have or your life will be miserable?

Share this tool with your readers and let them know why you use it.

If you are a travel blogger, maybe it is your favorite booking website. Are you an author? What word processor do you use? Are you a Music critic? What iPhone app do you use every day to get your music? Maybe you are a camping blogger and you can share your favorite backpack (yes, it can be a physical tool as well as a virtual tool)!

People love to learn about new tools! Build your connection with them by sharing and stating why you love to use it!

Soon as I saw the prompt I knew I wanted to share my favorite Blogging Book with you which has become my BIBLE and I feel lost without Mom Blogging For Dummies 1st Edition. I just wish they would create an updated version as so much has changed since this book was published. But if you want to begin blogging it has all the information you need inside this book.
