TOOLS YOU NEED FOR AN ALIGNED BUSINESS
I’VE BEEN RUNNING MY OWN BUSINESS FOR OVER 6 YEARS AND BEFORE THAT I WAS RUNNING OTHER PEOPLES!
OVER THIS TIME I’VE EXPERIMENTED WITH SOOOOO MANY TOOLS FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, CONTENT CREATION AND AUTOMATING THINGS SO THAT YOU HAVE LESS TIME DOING THINGS THE HARD WAY AND MORE TIME FOR SELF-CARE!
HERE’S A ROUND UP FOR MY VERY FAVOURITE TOOLS THAT I BACK 100% AND HAVE USED LONG TERM FOR SUCCESS IN MY BUSINESS!
LATER
THIS IS THE TOOL THAT I USE (AND HAVE BEEN USING SOLEY FOR OVER 5 YEARS!) TO SCHEDULE ALL OF MY CONTENT. THIS TOOL IS A ONE-STOP HUB TO SCHEDULE AND AUTOMATICALLY POST TO INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK, PINTEREST, YOUTUBE, LINKEDIN AND TWITTER POSTS. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FUNCTIONS IS THAT YOU CAN USE THIS TO SCHEDULE AND AUTOMATICALLY POST TO YOUR INSTAGRAM STORIES!
LATER APP AT ALLOWS ME TO TAKE FRI-MON OFFLINE! EVERY WEEK WHILE STILL BEING PRESENT ONLINE, I FIND TAKING TIME OFFLINE TO BE INCREDIBLY POWERFUL FOR REGULATING MY NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THIS TOOL IS WHAT ALLOWS ME TO DO THAT! A HIGH RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE PRESENT ONLINE BUT NOT GLUED TO YOUR PHONE!
REPURPOSE.IO
I THINK THIS TOOL MIGHT BE MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE! THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC REPURPOSING TOOL. I SHARED THIS WITH A CLIENT THIS MORNING AND IT CUT DOWN HER CONTENT CREATION TIME BY 70%!!!!
JUST LINK UP YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA PROFILES AND CREATE WORKFLOWS SO THAT WHEN YOU POST THAT PIECE OF CONTENT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE PUBLISHING ON THE OTHER PLATFORMS YOU SELECT.
PERSONALLY MY TIKTOK VIDEOS ARE REPURPOSED TO INSTAGRAM REELS, AS AN IDEA PIN ON PINTEREST AND A YOUTUBE SHORT ON YOUTUBE! BUT THERE ARE SOOO MANY OTHER WAYS TO USE AND GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS TOOL INCLUDING TAKING A PIECE OF AUDIO AND AUTOMATICALLY TRANSCRIBING IT TO BECOME A BLOG POST!
FLODESK
FLODESK IS THE EMAIL MARKETING PLATFORM I PERSONALLY USE IN MY BUSINESS AND SUGGEST TO ALL OF MY CLIENTS. WHY? BECAUSE IT’S THE SIMPLEST TOOL FOR GETTING STARTED BUILDING YOUR NEWSLETTER LIST AND COMMUNITY.
I’VE TRIED THEM ALL AND I FIND FLODESK TO BE THE EASIEST AND QUICKEST PLATFORM FOR CREATING AESTHETIC EMAILS AND NEWSLETTER SIGN UP FORMS WITHOUT SPENDING TONNES OF TIME ON DESIGN!
POND5
OFTEN IN BUSINESS YOU MIGHT NEED STOCK MUSIC, VIDES OR TEMPLATES - POND5 IS MY GO-TO FOR THIS!
THIS IS WHERE I’VE SOURCED AND FOUND ALL OF THE MUSIC THAT I USE ON MY PODCAST AND ANY AUDIO RECORDINGS I’VE OFFERED, I LOVE ESPECIALLY TO USE IT TO FIND BINAURAL BEATS THAT I USE AS A BACKGROUND TRACK FOR MEDITATIONS AND AFFIRMATIONS I USE IN BUSINESS!
BONJORNO
THIS IS SUCH A COOL TOOL - ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE TRYING TO BUILD A WELL-CONNECTED COMMUNITY WITHIN YOUR BUSINESS. MAYBE YOU WANT TO CREATE A VERY NURTURING AND HIGH TOUCH EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR NEW CLIENTS OR YOU WANT TO WELCOME NEW STUDENTS INTO YOUR COURSES OR SEND A PERSONAL NOTE TO NEW MEMBERS OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP!
TAKING THE TIME TO SEND A PERSONAL VIDEO MESSAGE TO NEW CLIENTS OR MEMBERS CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RETAINING THEM AS A CLIENT OR HAVING A FLY-BY-NIGHT RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. WHEN I USE BONJORNO I’VE RECEIVED SO MUCH POSITIVE FEEDBACK THAT CLIENTS FEEL SEEN, HELD AND HEARD. I LOVE TO USE IT TO SAY HELLO DIRECTLY TO THEM, WELCOME THEM AND START A CONVERSATION ABOUT THEIR GOALS OR INTENTIONS!
