My Top Recommended Tools, Training & Resources!

 This page contains affiliate links. Thank for you supporting Rags To Niches! Full disclosure here.

Here is a list of all the courses, tools and services that have helped me over the years.

I know that when I was first interested in how I could create an online business, finding recommendations for tools and courses was something that I looked for all the time.

It is so easy to get stuck when you’re going it alone and it can really halt your progress and knock your confidence when it happens.

For me, taking courses or finding tools has frequently helped me to feel unstuck and fill in the gaps.

ALL MY TOOLS:

  • BookBeam – a very useful tool for keeping track of BSRs, niche and keyword research and whole lot more besides.  Get a discount on any plan with my code RAGS15 and via this link:
  • Creative fabrica – this is where I find illustrations and fonts to use on my books and I’m in here DAILY! I’ve also recently become a seller on there too, which is a good additional platform to try if you’re already on Etsy selling digital products. Check it out here for FREE.
  • Publisher Rocket – I use this to help with keyword research and finding categories. I love this tool and use it most days when I’m creating books.
  • Imagine & Tangent Crystal – A course and software that shows you step-by-step how to create coloring books with Midjourney. The software included also removes greyscale from Midjourney images and vectorizes your images, removing the need to upscale them.
  • Tangent Templates – An incredibly useful tool. I do not use the ready made templates, (aside from simple lines/basic planners) because I believe you should always create unique interiors. However, they do have a design builder, a great listing helper and a book builder which makes creating your books incredibly easy. This is one of the first tools I ever purchased and still one of the best! For even better results, combine with IMAGINE which includes Tangent Templates in the bundle.
  • CANVA – I spent my first year purely usin Canva to create my covers AND my interiors for KDP. I still almost exclusively use it, but sometimes also use affinity publisher.
  • Lets Enhance – where I enhance all the images I download from Midjourney.
  • Midjourney – Where I create a lot of Ai Art & graphics.
  • Ideogram – Another Ai art tool I use, primarily for coloring pages.
  • Gemini – I’ve been using this particularly for Nano Banana Pro & Veo 3.
  • Publisher Champ – Great tool for checking your sales and various sales metrics and statistics. Compare sales and various stats over different months and years, connect your Ads to see total profit made, check out your global statistics and more.
  • ChatGPT – basically use it as a personal assistant these days! Something I use every single day for one reason or another.

ETSY:

Having recently started on selling on this platform and I use this tool right now to help me specifically on ETSY.
