Best apps & Tools For small businesses

Let's face it! As small business owners there isn't enough time in a day or enough money and resources to go around. Fear not though! Today, I'm sharing 8 the best apps & tools for small businesses.

Social Media & Advertising

Facebook Blueprint

Did you know that 2 billion people access Facebook every month? Thats more than half of all internet users. As a business owner, you should definitely be utilizing Facebook. But managing a business page comes with lots of perks and abilities that your personal page doesn't have. Thankfully, Facebook Blueprint was created to educate you on how to most effectively use Facebook for your business.

Facebook Blueprint offers over 80 courses that cover every aspect of marketing of Facebook & Instagram. (P.S. Facebook owns Instagram) This is a one stop shop for learning how to navigate both platforms as a business owner. This is the place to be if you're ready to start placing ads on social media.

Instagram for Business

It's estimated that over 200 million people visit Instagram business profiles daily. Unlike Facebook, Instagram is very much photo and video-driven. This platform gives you the opportunity to display your business in a beautifully visual way.Instagram also has tons of tools and metrics that you can use to analyze the performance of your posts.

Video Production and Editing

InShot

InShot is an awesome free app available on both iPhoneand Androidthat allows you to easily edit videos in the palm of your hand. I use InShot to edit almost all of my Youtube videos that you may have seen. (Are you subscribed to my channel?)

Legend

Legend is an app that allows you animate text in a video or add moving text over a still-photo. You can choose between multiple styles of text, colors, filters and backgrounds.

Graphic Design

Canva

Canva is one of my favorite tools. You can download the app for free (Android+ iPhone) or using it on your desktop. You basically become a professional graphic designer at the drop of a dime with Canva! Check out one of my graphics below.

Unsplash

Unsplash is available on both desktop and mobile (iPhone+ Android). This program allows you download beautiful, free images for any project you may have. I personally like to use the photos for fillers on my beautiful Instagram feed.

Unfold

This app makes Instagram stories look so beautiful! Unfold allows you to create editorial style post to use in your stories and give it a more elegant look. It's very simple to use. The app provides various templates for you use and then you fill the spaces with your own photos or videos. Check out the examples below.

Planning & Time Management

Planoly

Planoly is one of my favorite apps at the moment. This app allows you to plan, manage and schedule your Instagram feed. Have you ever noticed bloggers that have overly beautiful Instagram feeds? It's more than likely because they use a planner such as Planoly. It's free, but the paid version allows to schedule an unlimited amount of photos. This app essentially helps you ensure that your Instagram feed is always visually appealing!

So, that's the end of my list. But, I actually made a video discussing even more of my favorite apps and tools. If you're interested, click the link below!

Digital Product Bundle

Much Needed

Easy to use and it helps me to guide my business in numbers. I am able to set goals and prices to make a profit. Never had anything like this before in any coaching program!!

I love it

I wanted until now to use it because it came towards the end of April but I flipped through it & I'm super excited to start using it this month. It equipped to help me focus on my goals & meet them

Very Helpful

I was able to fill this out and forward to my accountant for my taxes, it worked very well

A Retailers Dream Journal!

As with everything Jance puts out, the planner is excellent in appearance and content. I long to be organized even if 60% of the time I am not. This planner puts me in the right direction. Because I write large and always have I think a digital copy would work better for me. The journal is so nice I don't want to write on it! But the information and structure is easy to understand and doable.
