What do you need?
Let’s see a list of functions and tools that you might need. These are either third-party services that can be integrated into your website (or used on its own if needed) or WordPress plugins (the website platform I recommend and teach):
- Blog: Divi theme (WordPress) or Substack if you need to start more quickly
- Selling products or services: Woocommerce (WordPress)
- Booking appointments: Calendly
- Presenting your portfolio: Divi theme (WordPress)
- Selling online courses: LifterLMS (WordPress)
- Selling events: Eventbrite
- Sending out questionnaires: HappyForms (WordPress)
- Newsletter Service: Mailerlite
- Hosting and domain and your unique email: Namecheap
- Google account for various services
- Graphics design: Canva
- Community platform
Tip: if you start any account don’t forget to store your login details either in a spreadsheet or a professional service like LastPass.
