On top of tech equipment, there are numerous online resources and websites that help with YouTube SEO, website creation and organization. This list is my tried and true and favorite.
TubeBuddy
This is the #1 tool I recommend for anyone who has a YouTube channel. You can use the free version and get a lot out of it, but I highly recommend the Pro version (less than $10 a month) to really benefit from the SEO tools. You would be crazy not to use this!

Bluehost
If you are a blogger looking to get started, or, you want to create a website in addition to your social accounts (which I recommend and encourage you to do), you will need a great hosting service. I rely on Bluehost. They are reliable and dependable and as a huge bonus, their customer service is amazing.
Influenster
Looking to score some free products? This is probably the best website to do it. This free service basically sends you boxes (called VoxBoxes) to review on your platforms. To earn a box, connect your social accounts to receive an impact score. The higher your score, the more boxes you get. However, you can earn a higher score just by reviewing products and engaging on their website. I have received a ton of great product from them!
DIY Video School
I featured Caleb on the podcast. He has created some incredible courses, both free and paid that will really teach you everything you need to know about the technical side of filming, lighting, editing and photography. I would highly recommend checking out his courses. He knows his stuff and has a clear, easy to follow, instructional style.

Evernote
I love Evernote and use it daily to help me keep track of my work. I use the desktop version as well as the iPhone app. I seriously couldn't live without it!
TailWind
This is my favorite, go-to tool when it comes to Pinterest. I would not be able to manage my Pinterest without TailWind. It's amazing and automates your pins.
99designs
I utilized this service when I created my first logo. It is a little pricey, but if you are wanting a stand-out logo and branding, then this is a great value for what you get.
