Whether your a Blogger looking for some gift-giving ideas to give your friends and families – or you’re the friend or family of a blogger or WAHM looking for a gift idea, this list is for you!
One of the best things you can give an online entrepreneur is help in growing their business.
Getting Started
Beautiful Blog Set Up Service – Know someone who would like to start their own successful blog for 2017? Give them gift of a beautiful blog – all set up and ready for them to start adding content! They’ll get their first year of web hosting and domain, a beautiful custom blog design with their choice of colors, layout, and logo – plus some great resources to help them know how to start building their brand new blog! $147/ one time
Web Hosting
The cost of hosting a business site or blog online can add up pretty quickly. If you’re not sure what web hosting is, it’s what keeps a blog or website running – without hosting, an online business can’t run.
Here are a couple of my favorite hosting companies:
Siteground – Siteground offers affordable hosting and AMAZING support. Plus, they’ll move your site to their hosting for free – so this gift is perfect for any blogger, no matter what hosting platform they’re using! I’ve used Siteground to host several of our blogs and their support team never ceases to amaze me. They’re always willing to help when I run into any issues and have always worked hard to make sure any problem is resolved – even if it’s a problem that’s all my fault! If the blogger in your life has mentioned having problems with their hosting – or they’re due to renew for another year – why not make life easier for them and set them up with this amazing hosting company? $48/yr.
WPEngine – WpEngine is the top-of-the-line hosting for WordPress sites. They specialize in taking care of blogs and sites that are hosted by WordPress – which means less headaches and problems trying to figure out what went wrong with your blog. When Blogelina grew too large for the standard shared hosting plans, we made the switch the WpEngine and have been there ever since! Our blog went from being down a LOT to consistently having 100% up-time each month with WpEngine! $348/yr.
Blogging Help
There is A LOT that goes into running a business online – and all these tasks can get a little overwhelming. Here are some services that can help give your favorite blogger or WAHM the gift of time.

Books
Problogger – GETTING STARTED & INCOME BOOST – I read this book when I first started blogging and it made a HUGE impact on the course of my blogging career. I can honestly say that I would never have had a blogging year where I almost made 7 figures with my blog (I still can’t even BELIEVE it!) had it not been for Darren Rowse and his amazing advice. If you know someone who wants to start a blog or someone who wants to take their blog to the next level, I highly recommend this book! $17/one time (Plus, don’t forget about our beautiful blog design/set-up service – we’ll take care of all the tech side of setting up a new blog!)

Everything he produces comes packed with TONS of info on how to build a successful business – and he knows what he’s talking about because he’s built SEVERAL amazingly successful businesses himself! I love, though, how he’s able to take the overwhelming picture and break it down into bite-sized, doable steps. $20/one time
Platform: Get Noticed In A Noisy World – INCOME BOOST – If the blogger in your life could use some encouragement and maybe a little direction in what the next step in their blogging business needs to be, this book is one of the BEST that I’ve ever read. One of the things I liked most about the book is how inspiring it is! Reading it made me feel like I could actually step out and DO this amazingly successful blogging venture. A lot of times what holds bloggers back from getting started is the fear that they won’t be able to do it. This book shows that it IS possible and gives a lot of great practical advice on how to go about it! $14/ one time
