My Must Have Business Tools
Canva
Canva is your one-stop shop for all things creative. From social media imagery to video editing to printed documents and whiteboards - Canva keeps everything together in one place.
ToDoIst
ToDoIst is my go-to software for getting things done. This is a task list on steroids - keeping all things very simple so you do not get bogged down in details that ultimately do not matter.
ClickUp
If you feel like you need something more robust than ToDoIst, ClickUp is your jam. This incredible task management software offers everything you could possibly need for organizing your blog content, social content, products, courses, and more.
LinkWhisper
LinkWhisper is my #1 recommended Wordpress Plugin for a multitude of reasons. Interlinking is a huge part of SEO strategy but is also great for user experience. Quickly see orphaned posts, broken links, and 404 errors at a glance too without the need for additional plugins.
PrettyLinks
Another must-have Wordpress Plugin is PrettyLinks. PrettyLinks uses your own website domain to create simple, easy-to-remember shortened links that can be shared on social, in email, and more. Great for affiliate marketing!
KeySearch
KeySearch is my favorite tool for Keyword Research. It offers all of the same bells and whistles as many of the other keyword research and tracking tools... without the massive price tag. This has everything you need to up your SEO game.
