The Best Tools to
MUST Haves for Online Business
EMAIL MARKETING
Advanced email marketing made simple. MailerLite makes EVERYTHING easy: emails, surveys, sign up forms, web pages, and automations. I’ve loved it many moons.

Podia is my go-to platform for hosting online courses, selling digital products, hosting webinars, and even hosting memberships. Best prices, best customer service.
EMAIL Management & Domains
GSuite is my go-to for getting your branded email domain (you@yourwebsite.com) and it’s got tons of added benefits from file storage to spread sheets and more! Fun fact! I (LJ) am a certified Google Digital Marketer!

Scheduling & Calendar
My favorite scheduling tool for everything from 1-1 clients to scheduling podcast interviews. It syncs with everything and knows my schedule so that I don’t have to. I use to schedule Podcast episodes and automatically create Zoom calls so that I have one less thing to do!
Design and Branding
Small Projects & Tasks
From drawing little cartoons of my face, to logos, to video edits: Fivver has creatives to do it all. The name comes from one of the most common prices you can get stuff done: $5. Most creators offer revisions too!
Graphics, Photos + More
Have needs for photos, graphics, fonts, social media content, and YOU NAME IT? Creative Market is a place where you can shop it all! It’s kind of like Etsy for digital goodies to build your brand. I’ve saved myself countless hours with done-for-you templates for just about everything a business owner could desire.
Easy Graphic Design
Canva is my favorite tool for easy graphic design. I use Canva for everything from social media graphics, to Pinterest Pins, to website graphics and more! The price for the features is out of this world and it’s so easy to use!
Stock Photos
Sometimes your life is just not as beautiful as Instagram or your website requires. I love Styled Stock Society because it’s so easy to find photos that fit my brand color and vibes in their library at an amazing price too! There’s also bonuses like Canva templates added monthly!
Website & Landing Page Resources
WordPress Templates
I love Bluchic to the core and it’s saved my life on websites. They’ve got great templates for different WordPress users. It takes a little more tech patience than a Squarespace site but is so customizable and beautiful!
I personally can’t recommend the landing page templates enough. They are the reason you won’t find expensive landing page softwares like Leadpages linked here.
Website Builder (Easy Mode)
I thought WordPress was SUPER hard until I met Elemenor. This is kind of meta because I’m building this block about Elementor WITH Elementor. It’s such an affordable way to become a master at building beautiful website pages. Elemenor has tons of templates includes those from Bluechich. I personally save $1000s by building my own website using these tools.
Organization and Editing
Notes and Organization
Evernote keeps my brain straight. It’s my favorite note keeping app that I’ve stuck with for years. They’ve got great templates for different types of notes and it seamlessly updates on all my devices so I always track my ideas and to-dos!
Editing & Spell Check
As a dyslexic business owner, WOOF! I do not know what I would do without grammarly. It helps me with spelling and grammar on everything from emails to even typing text on Instagram stories! Although I still make mistakes, grammarly is like a little editor that follows me around.
