Tools of the Trade

Below, you’ll find a list of my all-time favorite resources & tools for online business owners.

Please note — some of the resources below contain affiliate links, which means that if you click & purchase one of the linked affiliate products, I’ll receive a small commission (which is of course at zero cost to you).

These links help support my small biz & allow me to keep on makin’ helpful content for all of YOU!

P.S. — I only recommend products & resources that I use and LOVE. In fact, I would say that I use at least 90% of the resources below every single day as a creative entrepreneur — and truly couldn’t get by without them!


 

Canva Pro

Canva is my go-to design tool that I use for all of my blog graphics & templates. While the free version is great, I highly recommend recommend opting for the Canva Pro subscription. The paid plan gives you access to premium graphics and fonts, styled stock photos and design elements. You’ll also get access to the Canva Brand Kit to keep your designs on-brand, at all times.

 

 

ConvertKit

ConvertKit is an incredibly powerful email service provider that was designed with bloggers in mind. You’ll be able to collect leads and grow your email list, send out broadcast newsletters and create more advanced automation sequences to level up your email marketing game.

 

 

Tailwind

Tailwind is my absolute go-to app for scheduling & automating Pinterest posts.

 

 

Yeti Mic

I’ve tested out a number of different mics, and the Yeti is hands down my top pick. It’s an affordable option for most beginner bloggers, and the quality is seriously incredible!

 

 

Deadline Funnel

This is a more advanced tool, but one that I swear by!

 

 

Creative Market

The world’s best design marketplace. I’m always purchasing ready-to-use design assets from other talented creators!

 

 

Dropbox

I use Dropbox for file management (particularly for digital products). I wouldn’t be in business without it!

 

 

G-Suite

Professional Gmail account (i.e. hello@fallontravels.com).

 

 

Asana

Free project management software — this tool keeps my biz tasks nice & organized!
