Small Business Marketing Tools and Resources

I’m often asked for recommendations of different marketing tools and service providers, so I figured, why not create a running list here? Click what you want and you’ll be taken directly to the corresponding website.

Now, of course there are tons of resources out there. This is MY List. This is the stuff I use or have used. Note: In the spirit of full disclosure, many of the links on this page are affiliate links, which means I may get a commission if you decide to purchase anything from this page. I only recommend products and systems that I use and love myself. I actually use the products I recommend!

What am I using every day in my business?

Note: This is the quickie version. If you want more recommendations and categories, keep reading!

Business Management & Client Workflow

Get the Dubsado business management software.

I have one SINGLE recommendation for business management and client workflows, and it’s the wonderful folks at Dubsado.

Why are they so special? According to their website, “From invoicing, signing contracts, and scheduling appointments, Dubsado is a software built to save you time, impress clients, and grow your business.”

They are telling the WHOLE truth. Their customer service is impeccable. Too many features and integrations to mention.

Stock Photography

She Bold Stock style stock photos and graphics
Absolutely beautiful stock photography for women bosses. Get your whole brand together. Join the membership, and you get an unbelievable amount of content.
  • She Bold Stock: Gorgeous flat lays, lifestyle photos, branding kits. Monthly membership = priceless.
  • Create Her Stock: When you want pics of black women, go here first! Monthly membership is worth it.
  • Other stock photo faves include Unsplash and picjumbo.
  • Flat Icons: For icons to dress up your visuals, website, infographics, etc.

 

3D eCover Graphics

Again here, I gave a SINGLE recommendation. I have used eCover Authority for several years now, and it is by far THE most affordable way to create 3D graphics.

You know how you usually have to go on Fiverr to get a 3D cover made, or you pay per pic on something like a placeit.com to turn your image into a 3D cover? Well, you will never need to do that again!

You can either upload a graphic, or create a graphic on the platform itself, then select which 3D cover you want. Create 3D images of:

  • standing paperbacks
  • ipad and iphone screens
  • binders
  • laptops
  • spiral books
  • TVs, CDs, DVDs, and more…

The sales page does not do this product justice.

Best investment ever!
