So let me tell you about…

My small business faves

  • Canva-the workhorse of the WFH apps 💪
    You can use it for all your content creation, marketing materials and social media posts. You could even use it to create and sell products since they offer their own printing & purchase options. I pay for the Pro version, which isn’t necessary and you can definitely get by on the free version but it’s probably the best $12.99 a month I spend!

  • If you’re like me, and you have lists for your lists🤷🏻‍♀️
    Then Notion is gonna be your new BFF! Small business owners rejoice! 🙌🏼 You can use Notion for your checklists & brain dumps, journaling, content calendars & repositories…everything all in one place! Their roll up & relation features had a shit ton bit of a learning curve 🙄 but once you get the hang of them, they can streamline your content creation process like a dream!

  • Stock photo/videos are my guilty pleasure! 🙃
    There are TONS of sites for free images & videos but my favorite to use is definitely Pexels. Just type a few words into the search box and you’ll have plenty of images to choose from. I even use Pexels to upload photos & videos and occasionally get a PayPal donation when someone uses one! Cha-ching! Did someone say passive income?🤑
  • I was hardcore anti-AI 🤖
    AI has been one of the hot topics this year and it looks like 2024 isn’t gonna slow it down! Of course, there’s OpenAI’s ChatGPT which I use the free version of amd have never run into any issues. There’s also Dall-E, Claude & Midjourney-depending on what you’re looking to create. Everyone’s trying to get in the AI game-including Adobe with their Firefly integration, WordPress even has an AI assist and Canva offers Magic Studio with a bunch of awesome tools.


Social Media Helpers

  • I’ve used a lot of different scheduling apps in my time. But to be honest, I have yet to find one that I absolutely loveeeee. App A has a feature that’s great but is missing something. App B has that missing feature but not something else. App C has both features but doesn’t auto post 🤦🏻‍♀️Now, if we could just smoosh them all together…hmmm? Anywho, right now I’m really digging the Preview App for my IG to get a visual layout for my grid.
  • For scheduling Planoly takes the cake! You can add in all your social platforms and schedule your posts to publish automatically- including TikTok & Pinterest! I subscribe to the “starter membership” and it’s definitely a cost worth paying! The app’s easy to use and convenient, but I love using the desktop version. You can download it from the App Store
  • If 2024 is the year you finally decide to create your own products, definitely check out the Product Creators Ultimate Toolbox from Simplify DIY Design. This has everything you need to get started.
