The Top Tools I Use as a Small Business Owner

 

As small business owners, we amasse a small “pile” of tools that we use for our businesses.

Mine are not like my husband’s socket set or my watercolor paint brushes, but I use them to get stuff done, nonetheless.

Some are free to use, others I pay to use. I’ve come to have my favorite little collection I use on a weekly, if not daily, basis.

Today, I thought I’d open the door on a few of my favorite things (cue me, twirling around a posh mansion bedroom, channeling my inner Frauline Maria)...err, tools.

 
 

My Top Tools for Social Media Posts as a Brand and Product Photographer

  • Google Docs (for writing and organizing my copy and posts)

  • Google Sheets (for planning out my topics and captions for the month)

  • Trello (for scheduling posts and making notes of the type of content to post)

  • Smugmug (for storing my library of images or videos for “on-the-go” posting to social media)

  • Capcut (for editing videos for reels and piecing together content)

  • Canva (for making those great little carousel info posts)


I use these tools for posting on social media, writing blog posts and my bi-weekly newsletter, planning my content for the quarter and even scheduling social media posts.

They are all amazing and whether they’re apps on my phone or on my laptop, they make running my little business so much easier.

Tell me, have you used any of these? Or do you have a favorite tool I missed?? Drop it in the comments, I’d love to know!

Till next time…
