Who can relate?!

Blogger Must Haves List
Along with these must have tools, make sure to checkout some awesome free girl boss resources that are in the form of websites, apps, and blogs.
SD Card Connector
If you take pictures on a DSLR camera that doesn’t have WiFi connection, you know the struggles of waiting until you get home to upload and checkout your pictures.
Seriously, this tool is my lifesaver! It has saved me so much time, especially since I edit my Instagram pictures on my phone.

All you do is plug the reader into your phone and insert your SD card into the slot, and you will get to choose which pictures you want to transfer from your card to your phone.
Such a helpful blogger tool for SO cheap! Seriously, y’all need this!
Storage on Camera/Phone
Y’all I struggle with running out of storage more than I could explain. I know it’s a glitch that is happening with older iPhones so I’m hoping an upgrade will fix it…
but it’s still SO important to make sure you have enough storage on your phone. If you are close to reaching your max, the phone starts to slow down, making blogging and social media interacting much more difficult.
These apps are great for monitoring storage and keeping your photos safe: Google Photos, Dropbox, and OneDrive.
Planner
Every college student needs a planner. If you’re a college student who’s ALSO running a side hustle, this planner has got to be darn good!
Find out what kind of planner layout you like. I personally only like planners that have daily spreads with a daily to do list and time table. This helps me chart out meetings, classes, and appointments and everything I have to work on in a side by side layout.
I’ve found companies that have great daily layout planners, but they’ve all been super expensive.
This year, I’ve started bullet journaling to cut my planner costs… I have loved it, but don’t want to schedule myself for any extra work when school starts…. so I found a CHEAP daily planner that is eco friendly and I’m actually in love!
It’s undated, so you can start it and end it whenever you want. Best of all, it’s made of recyclable paper and includes tons of goal setting and planning worksheets!
Camera
While you don’t need a fancy camera to be a successful blogger/business woman, visuals are SUCH a vital part of a business strategy!
If you want to level up your game, I would recommend investing in a used or on sale camera! It is well worth the investment.
OK I’m done blabbering now, I want to hear your must have blogging tools! Comment down below what tools you and your business loves!
