Hello!

Here are the tools/tech stack I am currently using in my own business to make my own business better.

As always, whenever I publish this, I renew my promise to you that I never recommend a tool or software that I don't personally use to make my business work better.

These are tools that I think make it easier to be an entrepreneur. They live at all different price ranges, many with free options.

The tools you see below will sometimes have my affiliate codes baked into them.

I may make a small "finder's fee" when you use this list, and you usually receive some kind of "bonus" and that helps me continue to bring you free and accessible content as often as possible.

It costs you nothing to click my link, but it helps me quite a bit. 😃😃😃

Tools I Personally Use in My Business:

Kit (formerly ConvertKit)​
​https://partners.kit.com/ldaviscreative
​This is my favorite email platform of all time for sending emails to my list. They have great customer service. It's an email marketing and automation platform built for creators—great for newsletters, digital products, and audience growth. You can make landing pages, sell digital products and more!
​

Have you ever been scrolling Instagram and come across a post that says something like "Comment PIZZA & I'll send you my 4-ingredient dough recipe..."? That's Manychat!

It is THE leading Chat Marketing platform! They enable creators, marketers, and brands to drive more sales and conversions on messaging apps, such as Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp and Facebook, using automation. Plus, they're an official Meta Business Partner!

Descript

​https://get.descript.com/ldaviscreative

Love using this tool for podcast transcripts, video editing, audio editing and more. AI editing for every kind of audio and video. Direct your AI co-editor to do your video/audio editing for you, or do it yourself with intuitive editing tools. In Descript, editing is as easy as typing.

Square

​This is what I use to send contracts, create estimates, create proposals, keep my packages in order, and make sales for my business. It allows my customers to use CashApp, ACH, Debit, Credit, and more. It's both a point-of-sale and payment processing platform that makes it easy to sell in person or online, manage invoices, and run a business.

Later​
​https://try.later.com/apxdfm6jyy82
​Hands down, my favorite social media scheduling tool for Instagram posts and stories, Facebook, Linkedin, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat and more—plan your content visually and save time on posting. They even include a dashboard where you can answer tons of comments and messages at once.

Thinkific​
​https://try.thinkific.com/szvssqaxne70
​If you want to make a course, this makes it so easy to manage and create it. An all-in-one platform to create, market, and sell online courses—no coding required. Very user-friendly.

Fathom​
​https://fathom.partnerlinks.io/havrl7qo1lzo
​A virtual meeting co-pilot that automatically records, summarizes, and organizes your Zoom meetings—also perfect for show notes and content repurposing. There is a free and paid version! I use the paid version and it is so worth it.

Libsyn​

Wealthfront:

I personally use this High-Interest Savings Account. It is SO easy to use and connect accounts with no fluff. You and I will both gain an extra .75% APY boost for 6 months by using this one. I love seeing the interest add up over time.

1-Hour: Paid Coaching Call - Want some time to chat about your business and work in a strategic way, but don't know if you want monthly packages, my one-time call is perfect for you! We will spend the hour digging in and you will walk away with a clear action plan.
