I get asked a lot about what tools I use to run Mommy’s Home Office so I’m going to be doing a few episodes about those tools.

Today we are going to talk about the absolute essentials for running an online business and a lot of them are free or under $30.

So let’s get to it!

The first tool I love is… Canva

Cost: Free or $12.95 a month

Why I love Canva:

  1. You don’t need to know the dimensions of each different platform it has them.
  2. It already has done for you templates that you can take and make your own.
  3. It’s FREE or you can use Canva for Work which is worth the $12.95 a month.

Check Out Canva HERE Acuity Scheduling

Cost: Free or $15 a month

If you take clients, set up interviews, set meetings or anything else that requires your calendar and scheduling please use a scheduling tool.

No more back and forth!

Acuity also lets you take payments through Stripe and PayPal, so you can charge for your appointments, create packages, gift certificates, products, digital products, create payment plans and subscriptions.

If you upgrade to the paid version you can sync your calendar and it blocks of any times that you are unavailable on your personal calendars.

You can set up coupon codes. Plus it integrates with loads of other software so you can set things to automate! Which you know is probably my most favorite thing in the world :).

Cost: Free or $14.99 a month

Ok so along the same lines as a scheduler…If you take clients or meet with VA or mastermind group or anyone over the internet, then you probably need a way to talk to them.

I like Zoom because it has allows groups to video conference. Like Google Hangouts without the constant crashing.

This is my go-to video conferencing tool and I think you need to check it out.

Check Out Zoom HERE Leadpages

Cost: $25 a month

This has to be the easiest way to build a landing page, ever!

I use Leadpages for all of my sales pages and opt-ins. It has really everything you need already put into template form so it’s plug and play and you can really make it your own.

Plus the templates have all been rated for how they convert so you can choose one that is known to convert.

In the past, I’ve tried to find a less expensive option or tried to build my own but it was such a waste of time. I had to scream at myself to stop trying to recreate the wheel.

Anything that saves me time is a no-brainer.

Cost: $29 a month

My #1 email tool and I’ve tried A LOT.

You’ve heard it a million times. “You need a list. The money is in the list.”

Maybe you’re like “what the F is a list?”

Well, my friend, they are referring to an email list and all of the subscribers on that list.

Those statements have never been truer than right now. Maybe you’ve experienced the lack of engagement and reach on your Facebook and Instagram posts or you’ve at least heard about it.

Your email list is gold. But you have to actually send emails.

Don’t just collect them and let them sit. (I’ve been totally guilty of this and regretted it.)

I love ConvertKit for this because it charges me for the actual subscriber, so if the person is on multiple lists I only get charged once.

ConvertKit has done an excellent job listening to online business owners and has been made specifically for us.

Well, guys, these are just a few of my favorite must-haves and for under $30 you can’t beat it. I use every single one of these tools almost daily in business and I couldn’t imagine trying to do this without them.

Until next time!
