Tools I have personally tried, tested and saved time and money with.
Following is a list of tools and resources that I personally use in my business. My hope is that this page will help you sort out what tools and resources might be helpful to you as you work toward creating a strong foundation for your own business.
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN
This email automation is top of my list of favourite marketing tools. Whether I am doing automated sequences, creating forms, or sending out email campaigns, the AC Team (Active Campaign Team) is always there to help whenever I need it.
WEB HOSTING CANADA
WHC is the most reliable web host I know. They have kept my and our clients information safe for the last 12 years. They have a zero downtime policy, daily backups, and the best hosting customer support service (27/7) that I have ever experienced.
CANVA
Canva has saved me countless hours designing attractive, eye-catching covers for Facebook and other social media platforms. I love going through different ad designs, stock images/videos and other marketing materials to generate ideas.
GOOGLE WORKSPACE
Google Workspace has a whole suite of tools including Professional Email Syncing, Docs, Google Drive for extra storage, calendar and survey creation. This resource works really well alone or with a team. I use it to store documents I want to easily share with others.
GRAMMARLY
Grammarly is a cloud-based typing assistant that reviews spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, engagement, and delivery. It uses artificial intelligence to identify appropriate replacements for errors. It is such a great tool that will improve even the best of writers editing skills.
STRIPE
Millions of businesses of all sizes—from startups to large enterprises—use Stripe’s software and APIs to accept payments, send payouts, and manage their businesses online.
Stripe is a payments infrastructure for the internet and the only payment gateway we use and recommend.
