Whether you have a startup company or have been running one for decades, having the right tools can help you focus your energy on growing and expanding your online business. I used to run a software business, and one of the things I learned is that you can’t try to be everything to everybody; otherwise, you’re not really good at anything. This is also true in choosing the right tools to help you save time and effort as you run your business.

In this episode, I give an overview of the tools and applications you might need in running your online business and share how these tools have worked for me. I also recommend tools for your online business as well as compare and contrast the ones I’ve tried and tested for my business.

In This Episode of the Sigrun Show:

Creating beautiful graphics even if you’re not a designer
Having different tools for unfinished tasks and completed ones
Using a communication tool for your team instead of Messenger
Having a separate website builder for your membership sites
Why WordPress hosting is better than other web hosting alternatives
Time-saving tools for replying to common client inquiries
Why I changed many of my tools this year

Key Takeaways:

Take advantage of free trials. If a tool doesn’t work for you, you can always cancel it.
Once a year, make it a habit to review all the tools you’re using to make sure you’re using them all, and you’re not unnecessarily spending on tools you don’t utilize.
