Resources I Love

I am often recommending resources to make your life easier in my digital courses, through conversations with friends, and on social media so I thought it would be helpful if I had them all in one place. :) Below you will find my favorite tools to make my life easier. Need something not on this list? Send me an email and I’ll get you connected with the best resource for you!

Automation 

Later

Later is a social media scheduling system that I use every single day.  It really helps me keep some aspects of my tasks automated which is so helpful in creating the life I crave.  Later gives me the ability to schedule Instagram posts, Facebook posts, Instagram Stories, and does a great job diving deeper into the analytics of how the posts are doing.  I really love that I can save hashtags in the comments and they also post automatically - for those who have been doing this for a while you know that’s a major win! 

Tailwind

I started using Tailwind for Pinterest and have loved using it to help automate my Pinterest account and the accounts of numerous clients.  The dashboard is easy to use and understand for those just starting out and gives so much information for those who want a deeper dive into specifics.  

Digital Courses 

Kajabi 

If you’re looking to create your own online course I highly recommend Kajabi. I researched A LOT before deciding to put my courses on this platform and I’m glad I made the choice I did.  Kajabi gives me everything I need in a course platform.  It’s great for the user experience and the behind the scenes tech aspect is built for creatives. As I add more classes, adjust the resources, and need to change things up I know that Kajabi will allow me to do all of that with ease while giving my students the best experience. 

Graphic Design 

Canva

I’m not a graphic designer so I hire out for a lot of different things but I always request that they are able to upload the elements to Canva so I can make things as I need them.  Canva should not be a replacement for professional graphic design work but it can be a great tool to use for quick projects, ebooks, and other products you’re looking to create.  I have the paid account because it allows me to resize images to the specifications needed for different platforms and gives me access to stock photography which can be SO helpful. 

Email Management 

Flodesk 

You know all of those beautiful emails I send you? I send them with the help of Flodesk. When I was looking for a new email management system I knew I wanted something that was easy to use, could support automation and would allow me the ability to create beautiful emails.  Flodesk was the best fit for me, hands down.  I highly recommend signing up for a trial and playing around before choosing any program - if you do decide that Flodesk is best for you, I have a link that will give you 50% off.
