In my marketing business I’ve come across many resources that aid me in my business and I am happy to share those with you. Some are affiliate and others are not but I’d appreciate that you use my affiliate links if you do decide to move forward with purchasing any of these tools.
Affiliate
Site Ground
This is a super hosting company that I switched to after my countless GoDaddy “resources” issues. I haven’t had a problem since and several of my website partners agree and use SiteGround as well.
BackBlaze Back-ups
This is a great back up option for your business data. Nothing like having a crash and not being prepared. Check it out.
Post Planner
A social media app in Facebook to aid in coming up with viral content
Get Stencil
This is another amazing photo creation tool that has free and paid versions. You can use their photos, their quotes, upload your logo or your clients’ logos. So much value from this too.
Stock Unlimited
This is a great place to get unlimited pictures for an annual price and the images are really great. I stumbled onto this one at $49/year and not sure if they still offer this steal, but worth looking into.
Can Stock Photos
Another great place to get pictures you can safely use on your website, marketing material &
more. The pricing depends upon whether you get a subscription or purchase download credits. Of course, depending upon how many you want, as far as credits, will determine how much for each image. Usually, the more you buy, the cheaper it is per image.
AWeber
This is an autoresponder to use for your email marketing campaign. While sometimes it can be frustrating, their support is VERY helpful and has alleviated much frustration.
Deposit Photos
This is another great place to get pictures you can safely use on your website, marketing material & more and the photos are each $1!
Non-Affiliate
Buffer
Another time saving tool to aid in scheduling posts, using RSS feeds and more. Currently free for 1 profile per social media.
Canva
A great social media picture creation tool – assists with profile and cover photos, save the date, invitations, 
flyers and much much more. It’s free to join and you can use some of their pictures for free, others are only $1 each.
iPiccy
This was my replacement for PicMonkey and now use it to add frames and my url for images that I purchase to use on my website and/or social media.
PicMonkey
A photo creation tool, helps turn plain photos into viral photos, super easy to edit without needing to be a graphic designer. This has a free version which you can do many of the basic editing and upgrade if you want more… [updated] but in order to use many of these basic edits and save, you must buy the paid version. ;(
Fiverr
This is basically anything you want to have done for you for $5. You have to do your homework on this one and I’d test out small parts of your needs to find something you can work with that does what you need, and well.
Legal Shield
You can have piece of mind for your family and your business knowing that you have an attorney on call to discuss your needs from living will, traffic tickets or citations, business formation, name change or various court documents, document review, family court issues, protecting your family with your right to carry a firearm and so much more. There are riders for Identity Theft and more coverage for your Home or Small Business.
HootSuite
This is a time saving tool to aid with scheduling your social media posts. It is currently free to use for up to 3 social profiles.
WeTransfer
This website allows you to send up to 2GB of data, free! No more emailing tons of pictures or documents spread over multiple emails or copying files over to Dropbox or other file sharing devices. Just keep them where they are in your computer and add them to WeTransfer and your recipient gets an email with a way to download them.
I have many others I could list but this is a good start.
