BUSINESS ESSENTIALS

We recommend and love Kit for its ease of use and value. NEW: Amazing integration with Canva and other apps to make your newsletters even easier. For just 25.00/mo you can have a great email platform.

A great payment option for setting up eCommerce products.

iPad / iPhone Holder

I LOVE zoom for recording how-to videos and having guests on my FB page live, it’s easy for the non tech peeps like me

You NEED a website and you will need to have it hosted someplace, I have used Bluehost since I started my first website

Planner Pad – MY hands down favourite planner for those creative squirrel brains. Ever.  It helps those of us juggling multiple things coming at us, including home life. I love and use the executive spiral.
MacBook Pro – I could not work without a powerful computer.
Americal Express for business expenses – great points rewards YOU can use!
For voice memos and text-based communications with your team.

The best task management tool for projects and team assignments

To keep all your schedules in order

Many clients use Eventbrite for all workshop scheduling and payments

Light Box for a Photo Shoot

Flexible Tripod

ARKON Camera Stand

 I love a wall calendar!
Light Ring – For great lighting for your FB lives and demos I love this light
Light Ring – For great lighting for your FB lives and demos I love this light

SOCIAL MEDIA

For EASY scheduling all my Pinterest Posts – a must

IG scheduling, takes some getting used to but makes planning easy

Use FB’s own scheduling tool for all your FB post scheduling

for graphics, I mostly use Canva now as I love it’s vast library of templates (done for you)

 Linktree for Instagram linking – direct to your website or workshops or a product for sale, I have used the pro version for 6$ a month, but the free version is just fine.

Streamyard – for professional-looking FB lives and the ability to stream live to more than one platform
