    Essential Resources and Tools for Food Bloggers and Photographers

    Welcome to the Salt Pepper Skillet Resources section! These are the tools I use and recommend to help your productivity and success.

    Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means that if you choose to make a purchase, I will earn a commission. This commission comes at no additional cost to you. I recommend these products because they are helpful and useful; not because of the small commissions I make if you decide to buy something.

    BigScoots Hosting

    This site is hosted on BigScoots. They are the best, fastest and most secure WordPress hosting I have ever used. Their support is there to help with anything you might need on your site.

    Try BigScoots

    Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan

    The essential and best software tools for editing and managing photos. Both Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop are included in the Creative Cloud Photography Plan and I use them every single day.

    SEMrush

    The absolute best SEO keyword research tool for bloggers to get more traffic, grow your blog and make more money. SEMrush is definitely something I would have invested in much sooner if I had known the value.

    Backblaze

    The tool I use to back up my computer and external hard drives. Having a backup plan in place is something you hopefully never have to use, but don’t learn the hard way. Backblaze backs-up your data in the background and as you create it.
