Often people will ask me what my favourite tools are for different aspects of my work. Both as a business, and as a DIYer I have found several “tools” that work for me – and that I love to use as a part of my day to day biz.
I’ve divided the list into “Business Tools” and “DIY Tools” for your convenience. Some of my favourite tools may lead to affiliate links – this just means I may get a small commission if you choose to purchase via this link, at no additional cost to you. As stated, these are tools that I love to use and that work for me. I won’t post about things that I don’t absolutely LOVE to use.
Note: for North American readers, I have included separate Amazon affiliate links in brackets for your convenience.
My Favourite Business Tools
• WordPress.org – website builder
• Tailwind – helps to schedule Pinterest and Instagram posts automatically!
• Acuity Scheduling – so much more than a scheduler! This tool allows you to embed a schedule to your website, clients can book in to make their own appointment, it can automatically send clients forms to fill out before your scheduled meeting and so much more.
• LED On-camera, Bi-colour Video Light – great for Lives on Facebook or pre-recorded video to add extra lighting to your shot.
• Lavalier Microphone for iPhone/Smartphone – amazing difference it makes for recording Instagram or Facebook video as the audio goes directly into your phone, cutting out all the background noises. (USA link here.)
• Extension Cable For SmartLav+ Microphone, 20 Feet – so you can be even further away from your iphone and the mic still picks up your voice only. (USA link here.)
My Favourite DIY Tools
• Sanding Tools – check this blog post link all about the tools I use for sanding.
• Prep: Zinsser BIN Stain Blocker – for dealing with ‘bleed through’ or ‘resist’. (USA: Zinsser BIN)
