Online Business & Affiliate Marketing Training

Interested in building flexible income, exploring affiliate marketing, or creating an online business?

These are the training programs I’ve personally used and recommend for learning the skills needed to build an online business and create additional income streams.

Wealthy Affiliate

A long-running platform that combines affiliate marketing training, website tools, hosting, keyword research, and community support. It’s designed to help people learn how to build websites and grow traffic online.

Business Tools I Use

Building an online business (or any business for that matter) requires a few tools along the way. These are some of the platforms and services I personally use to manage websites, create content, grow email lists, and run online projects.

Lyrical Web Hosting

Reliable hosting is one of the most important foundations of any website. I use hosting that can support content sites, blogs, and online projects as they grow.

Trello

My go-to project management tool for organizing ideas, planning content, tracking projects, and keeping all the moving pieces of online business in one place.

Keysearch

Keyword research tool to understand what people are searching for and to help create content that’s actually useful and discoverable.

Mailerlite

I use an email marketing platform to stay connected with readers, send updates, and eventually share new posts, resources, and projects.

Travel Booking & Planning Resources

These are some of my favorite resources for booking accommodations, transportation, tours, travel insurance, and other trip-planning essentials. I’ve used them myself over the years and recommend them because they make travel planning easier, more efficient, and a little less stressful.

Booking.com

A Great site for finding hotels and accommodations in Europe. I like the combination of selection, reviews, and flexible booking options.

Travel Guard

Travel insurance is one of the least exciting but most important purchases you can make before a trip.

Viator

A reliable platform for booking tours, activities, and attractions around the world, especially useful for day tours and skip-the-line experiences.

Get Your Guide

Another favorite for tours, attractions, and last-minute bookings when I’m already on the road.
