Email Marketing

ConvertKit

Convert kit

For email marketing convert kit is the best one out there. If you have a smaller email list or trying to figure out the whole concept of Email Marketing you can start for free which Mailchimp but with convertkit you can easily segment your readers and send them personalized content so your engagement level is always booming.

MailChimp

if you have a smaller email list and hoping to start off small then i will recommend MailChimp . My mailchimp account has around 5 email lists . Once you get to know this tool it is very easy to use.

Web & Graphic Design

Photoshop & illustrator

Adobe Photoshop  and Adobe Illustrator ir?t=artinsstu 20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00CS75N2I Tools that i use and Recommend are the best pals for me , as I use them everyday . My number one tool  however is Photoshop . If you are starting out in learning photoshop you can get photoshop 7 which is free. You can download photoshop free to get sarted.

Canva

I recently seriously started using Canva , it does have some limitations when it comes to design , but overall it is a great tool for people who dont have enough knowledge of photoshop or illustrator to create graphics for their businesses.

Social Media

There are tons of tools for social media but I recommend the following

Hootsuite 

I use hootsuite as a free tool at the moment and it is working fine for me . I have my instagram and twitter connected to Hootsuite. That way I can easily schedule messages for the period of a month in batch & push posts for instagram with ease. I love this tool !

Archie.co

Archie is another tool if you are looking for some automation in the very begining of starting to use instagram. Although I do not like the use of automation tools which like and just that. But if you are initially startign up with instagram just to get a number of followers visible on your account I think it is a great tool.

Video editing

Snagit

One of favourite tool which working is Snagit , from screen capture to creating graphics to screencast , this little tool is great for everyday use. Since my kids like to try their hands on recording minecraft videos even they can use it . Hands down simple to use !

Camtasia Studio 8 – Academic [Download]ir?t=artinsstu 20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00HCOFSXQ Tools that i use and Recommend

Workflow tools

Airtable

Next to trello , I use airtable to manage my personal finances list, as well as the resources and quick links.

Zapier

A very practical tool indeed , it zaps bit of tasks for you while you sleep . Examples of zaps it can trigger are like add your subscribers of one list to another , send email , Automating tasks , posting your Instagram posts to other social media and so on.

IFTTT

Like zapier , IFTTT can be really handy . I use ifttt to take items from my rss feed of etsy shop and then spread them over the social media networks. So once I publish a new product it is automatically posted to many channels , including but not limited to facebook , twitter and blogger.

Trello

I used trello to plan my week ahead see my sample board here
