  • I know the feeling of scouring your photos for just the right thing to post on socials or use on your site. Luckily there are some great stock sites out there where you can source images and videos for your content, website, and more.

  • If you’re offering any kind of services or digital products, you need solid contracts—ask me how I know. 🫤

    I get all my legal stuff from The Boutique Lawyer, from my website terms of use to my client contracts.

  • If you’re anything like me, sometimes you just need someone working alongside you to get stuff done. Focusmate lets you match up with someone else for some focused working time. There is a paid plan, but I’m still on the free plan and get a lot of co-working time in!

  • Have you ever wondered how people have those Instagram automations that say, “Comment this word below and I’ll send you the link!”

    It’s with a tool called ManyChat, and it’s one of my faves. It makes it easy for your audience to get your links without having to find them in your link in bio (which, let’s be real, people don’t often stop their scroll to do).

  • If you’ve been around for a while, you know I love a quiz. And if you’re new, well, now you know. 🤣

    There are two quiz softwares that I absolutely love:

    • Interact is an option that you have to pay monthly, but it’s incredibly easy to use.

    • The Quiz Creator is an option you only have to pay once for, but it’s a tad more techy.

  • There are two productivity tools that help me a ton.

    • Toggl helps me to track my time. This is perfect for client work where I’m billing by the hour, but also for my other work so I know how long things actually take. There’s a free and paid version of Toggl, and I get a lot done with the free plan!

    • Todoist is how I manage my to-do list. It’s super simple (and fun!) to use, and they have a robust free version as well.
