Hey everyone! It’s been a year since I last shared some must-have assets I use every day for my business. I’ve been introduced to new products, and after months of using all of these, I wanted to share with you! So – 3 more things that give me precious time of the day to spend doing more AWESOME things:
Later.com
Nessa Kessinger introduced me to this amazing Instagram post scheduler at a workshop in NYC this fall.
You drag and drop on your calendar and preview your grid on the website or app. You can schedule the time and write the caption, and when it’s time to post, it pushes a notification, photo, and caption to your phone to post on Instagram. I never have to worry if a picture “fits” in the grid anymore. Once a week, I schedule all my Insta posts and I save tons of time and headspace!
Price: 30 posts/month FREE – and if you sign up with my referral link, we both get an extra 10 posts free per month!
MileIQ
Amy & Jordan turned me on to the ingenious Tinder of mileage trackers. You download the app, and it automatically senses and logs all your drives. Like a fairy godmother in the background. Every few days, I’ll open the app and swipe LEFT for business or RIGHT for personal! You can export monthly reports and even annotate the drives. Every penny counts when you can deduct $0.56/mile on your taxes.
Price: 40 drives/month FREE or unlimited $59.99/year, but get 20% off if you sign up with this link!
StudioNinja
You know it’s time to get client management software when you have a sinking feeling that you’re forgetting something. Keeping track of email leads, who needs to set up a meeting, who you need to follow up with, if you’ve sent that booking gift yet, who has paid their retainer, who hasn’t signed their contract yet, which questionnaires go with which couple… IT’S MIND BOGGLING! Luckily, there are CRM systems for that!
I tried out a whole bunch of programs. Honeybook, Tave, ShootQ, 17hats… the list goes on. They were great, but none of them did exactly what I needed. I tried StudioNinja and loved it! Everything from the moment an email lead comes in, to quotes, invoices, contracts, questionnaires, online payment, scheduling, income statements, and workflow management. Hallelujah!
Price: 30 day free trial, $215/year but 50% off your first year!
