Business Tools
These are the business tools I use in my own business so that I can create processes, leverage systems and save time …
Mailerlite – my email and CRM marketing platform of choice – and I’ve tried most other popular ones and this is the most intuitive if you want audience segmentation and multiple lead magnets.
GoDaddy – to host all my websites and buy my domains through, really great help resources and accessible customer support via chat & email
Thinkific and Ruzuku to host our courses, products and membership content
Zoom – my go-to webinar and video meetings application, runs live sessions, can upload locally or on the cloud in your account, and records for replays
Fathom – invaluable AI app that integrates with Zoom and Teams; records, transcribes, highlights, and summarises your meetings so you can focus on the conversation. All instantly available once your meeting ends – love this tool!
Acuity Scheduling – my calendar / appointment software of choice – it integrates brilliantly with Zoom and PaypalÂ
Planable – my social media posts organiser / scheduler
Interact – to create questionnaires, application forms and surveys.
Canva – easily create beautiful designs using templates & graphics/photos
Audacity – audio editing software to record live audio, edit sound files and mix / modify recordings
Otter.ai and Descript to transcribe voice memos, audio & video recordings. Perfect for creating a transcript from client meetings, interviews, podcasts and webinar trainings
MindMeister – to create mindmaps and outlines of your future courses
GroupFunnels – helps collect FB group responses and email addresses
Upwork – not really a ‘tool’ per se, my preferred choice for outsourcing to specialist freelancers (e.g. graphic design, SEO, formatting, VA work) or for just about anything
FB / Linkedin groups – again, not a tool as such, but great places to find collaborative partners who have expertise or skills you can leverage for your own business or as guest content. Join a few relevant groups and put out a request for recommendations. Â
