Resources I use to help my business run more effectively and efficiently.
Personal Favorites
Business & Organization
I use this every single day! It offers so much customization you can really build it to fit your business needs. The client-facing portion is also fantastic. They offer a free trial up to 3 clients.
$25/month or $250/year
but here's a 20% discount.
Social media
Planoly is a scheduling app for Instagram. I love it. It allows you to see how all your posts will look together in the grid, schedule posts with captions for a later date, and it now has an auto-post feature. Also, Planoly allows you to create hashtag groups so you don't have to type in 37 new hashtags each time you post. It's fabulous and affordable.
Their solo plan is just $9/mo.
Website
Squarespace is the best platform for creating websites, IMO. I've tried others like Weebly & Wix, but SS has the most capabilities of any. It's clean & simple with a great user-friendly interface. Perfect for anyone from average Joe to website designers.
$216 per year.
Business & Organization
Asana is a project management system and can be used for teams. I use it to keep track of all projects—from client work, to blog content to business development. You can also assign tasks, like content editing, to team members. I LOVE this program.
I use the FREE version.
Client communications
I use G Suite for managing emails, organizing client assignments, client file sharing, writing & editing blog posts, and more. It can be accessed from any device (i.e. iPhone) from anywhere with the offline access capability.
$5/month for email. For 20% off your first year, message me.
Design Related
For designers, there's no other option. I literally couldn't do what I do without the Adobe suite. InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom are the programs I use every single day.
$49.99/month
A platform for handcrafted, mousemade design content from independent creatives. I love shopping CM for icons, fonts, and other graphics & designs.
