Here are some tools and resources we at TMM use to create awesome content and grow the business.<\/p>\n

This page is divided into two sections:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Men’s fashion resources<\/li>\n
  2. Blogging resources<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Everything listed on this page is an integral part of our operation here at TMM HQ.<\/p>\n

    Men’s Fashion Resources<\/h2>\n

    Here are some sites about men’s fashion that are worth visiting:<\/p>\n

    Reddit’s r\/malefashionadvice<\/strong><\/a> – This is an amazing resource for guys who want to dress well. From total beginners to advanced style ninjas, everyone will find useful information in this community.<\/p>\n

    Reddit’s r\/frugalmalefashion<\/strong><\/a> – Another great subreddit, this is a go-to place to check for sales and discounts.<\/p>\n

    Honey<\/a><\/strong> – This free browser extension automatically applies any active discount codes to your shopping cart. Basically, you don’t have to search for coupons anymore Just install Honey<\/a>, and you’re done!<\/p>\n

    Blogging Resources<\/h2>\n

    Here’s everything we use to run The Modest Man blog and social accounts:<\/p>\n

    Website Hosting & Themes<\/h3>\n

    These are the tools that make this blog run like a well-oiled machine:<\/p>\n

    Cloudways<\/strong><\/a> – An excellent and surprisingly affordable we host with room for growth.<\/p>\n

    Bluehost<\/a><\/strong> – This was the original hosting TMM used, all the way up until 150k+ views per month. Cheap, reliable, great customer service. Everything you need from a web host.<\/p>\n

    WordPress<\/a><\/strong> – If you’re going to start a blog, you should use WordPress. It’s free, and it’s a no brainer!<\/p>\n

    Genesis<\/a><\/strong> – The framework on which this site is built. In our opinion, this is the best WordPress “theme” out there.<\/p>\n

    Content Marketing Tools<\/h3>\n

    ConvertKit<\/a><\/strong> – Our favorite email service provider. It’s more functional than Aweber and easier to use than MailChimp (which isn’t actually very user-friendly, in our opinion).<\/p>\n

    Canva<\/a><\/strong> – We use this for all of the graphics you see on this site, as well as most YouTube thumbnails. The free version is a no brainer!<\/p>\n

    Depositphotos<\/strong><\/a> – Our go-to source for royalty-free stock images (of celebrity style, for example), and free to use editing tools to resize images, etc.<\/p>\n

    Business Tools<\/h3>\n

    PayPal<\/a><\/strong> – No explanation needed, right? PayPal is kind of necessary if you’re going to do business online. It’s also great for personal use.<\/p>\n

    Stripe<\/a><\/strong> – To accept credit card payments…the perfect supplement to PayPal.<\/p>\n

    Other Cool Stuff<\/h3>\n

    Amazon Prime<\/a><\/strong> – For $99 a year, you get free two day shipping on a bunch of items AND free returns.<\/p>\n

    Plus, you get access to Instant Video<\/a> and Music<\/a> (which is Amazon’s on demand music app…kind of like Pandora or Spotify but without the commercials).<\/p>\n

    Click here<\/a> to try it free for 30 days.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
