The Best Business Resources

Here are some of my favorite business resources. They may contain affiliate links, meaning if you click one of my affiliate links and decide to make a purchase, I receive a tiny commission from the seller at no additional cost. I only share products and services I have used, tested, and loved. 

Tech

• I buy domains from Namecheap. I’ve had no problems, and I like their prices.
• There are so many website options. This site is on WordPress. Although I think WordPress is time-consuming, I still like the flexibility. I use FlyWheel for hosting with WordPress. They have great customer service. Other site options: Wix, Squarespace, and Weebly.
• Selling products and services doesn’t require a website. Shopify excels for digital and physical goods, while Etsy is ideal for novices. However, its hefty fees might prompt you to leave once your product is established.
• All-in-one platforms like Podia and Kartra offer various services like course creation and memberships.
• Shield Pro not only scans for malware but also removes it.

Funnels

• Interested in learning funnels? Try Fearless Funnels by Leanne. I have several of her courses. Fearless Funnels focuses on strategy, tech, and funnel planning.
• Interested in evergreen funnels? Who isn’t? Learn from Funnel Fest Evergreen from Tara Reid.
• Interested in learning funnels to assist others? Try Tech VA in a Day. This program helps you build your working site with packages and consultation bookings.
• Use Elementor with WordPress? Use Tara’s sales funnel template! It has a landing page, a thank you page, and a sales page.

File Organization

• Dropbox
• Google Drive
• WeTransfer won’t store your files, but it’s a good option if you want to share them with your team. The free plan allows you to send files up to 2GB.

Scheduling

• I used to use Calendly. The free version is okay. If you pay $15 a month, Calendly automatically sends reminders, and I would pay if you use Zoom.
• Acuity
• You can always use a CRM with more capabilities than a scheduler. Read my blog on CRMs. I now use Honeybook for scheduling.

Social Media

• I use Tailwind for scheduling Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Later and Hootsuite are also good. I also use Meta’s scheduler, which doesn’t always work well with Instagram (even though they are owned by one company).
• I use Canva and Ivory Mix for stock photos.

Affiliate Marketing

• I like ShareASale for finding affiliates. I’ve been a member for over five years with no problems.
• Tara’s Affiliate Marketing Magic is great for beginners.
• Flex Offers is a self-service affiliate program you can join to advertise many businesses.
