Let’s face it—running your business efficiently is easier said than done. With a million tasks to juggle, how do you stay on top of everything without losing your mind? The answer? The right tools. Over the years, I’ve experimented with different tools, systems, and platforms, and now I’ve found the ones that make all the difference. These tools help me stay organized, save time, and keep things running smoothly, so I can focus on what truly matters: growing my business and serving my clients.
In this post, I’m going to share the essential tools I use to run my business efficiently—from project management to client communication, email marketing, and more. Let’s dive in.
Project Management Tools: Notion
If there’s one tool I can’t live without, it’s Notion. This is my go-to platform for project management and organization. Notion lets me keep track of everything in one place—whether it’s brainstorming ideas, managing tasks, or planning out my content calendar. It’s a customizable, all-in-one workspace that keeps me organized without the chaos.
I use Notion to create templates for my workflow, manage client projects, and track my goals. Whether I’m breaking down big projects into smaller tasks or keeping tabs on deadlines, Notion allows me to keep everything in one place and view it in a way that makes sense for me.
The best part about Notion? It’s flexible. You can create tables, boards, calendars, and more to fit your unique process. It’s like having a digital binder where everything you need is right at your fingertips, making project management a breeze.
Email Marketing Tools: Flodesk
When it comes to email marketing, simplicity and aesthetics matter. That’s why I use Flodesk. It’s not just about sending emails—it’s about creating beautiful, engaging campaigns that actually convert. Flodesk is easy to use, has stunning templates, and allows me to set up automated email sequences without the headache.
I’ve tried a lot of email marketing platforms, but what I love most about Flodesk is the user-friendly interface and the design flexibility. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to send emails that feel like a personal conversation rather than just another generic message. Plus, Flodesk integrates well with my other tools, like Dubsado, making it easy to manage my entire business from one place.
Whether I’m sending out weekly newsletters or a special promotion, Flodesk ensures my emails not only look great but also deliver value to my audience. And the best part? The deliverability is on point, so my emails land in inboxes where they belong.
Social Media Management: Later & Tailwind
Let’s be real: social media management can eat up your entire day if you’re not careful. That’s why I use Later and Tailwind—two tools that streamline my social media workflow and help me schedule content ahead of time.
Later is my tool of choice for Instagram. It allows me to schedule posts, stories, and even carousels in advance. The drag-and-drop calendar makes it super easy to plan my feed and visualize how everything will look before it goes live. Later’s auto-publishing feature also ensures that my posts go live without me having to do a thing, freeing up my time to engage with my audience.
For Pinterest, I swear by Tailwind. It’s the ultimate scheduling tool for Pinterest that helps me automate pinning and track performance. Tailwind’s SmartLoop feature ensures my pins get repinned regularly, without me manually repinning them every day. This means I can maintain a consistent presence on Pinterest, even when I’m busy with other things.
With both Later and Tailwind, I’m able to keep my social media presence active and engaging while saving time and maintaining a consistent posting schedule.
Client Communication: Dubsado
When it comes to client communication and management, Dubsado is my CRM of choice. From onboarding clients to handling contracts and invoicing, Dubsado streamlines everything. It’s my all-in-one solution for managing client relationships efficiently.
With Dubsado, I can automate the entire client process, from sending proposals to scheduling appointments and getting contracts signed electronically. The best part? Dubsado integrates with my calendar and other tools like Flodesk for email marketing, ensuring that everything flows seamlessly.
I also love the client portal feature, which allows clients to log in and see their invoices, contracts, and communication in one place. It gives them an extra layer of convenience while saving me time on back-and-forth emails.
If you’re juggling multiple clients and projects, Dubsado is a game-changer. It simplifies client management and helps me stay organized, all while maintaining a professional and personalized experience.
Digital Storefront: StanStore & ThriveCart
When it comes to selling my digital products, StanStore and ThriveCart are my go-to platforms. These two tools are essential for running an efficient digital storefront without the hassle.
StanStore is where I host and sell my digital products, from courses to templates. It’s user-friendly and allows me to create a beautiful, simple storefront that’s easy to navigate for my customers. What I love most about StanStore is the seamless integration with payment gateways, so I don’t have to worry about technical glitches when customers make a purchase.
For handling cart funnels and advanced payment options, I use ThriveCart. ThriveCart lets me set up one-click upsells, subscription payments, and even discount codes to increase conversions. It’s a robust, easy-to-use shopping cart system that makes the buying process smooth and painless for my customers, which ultimately leads to higher sales.
