hey!

One of the changes I made last year to be more productive, save time and focus on bigger projects was automating as MUCH as I could in my business! Do you ever think about how much time we waste doing tasks that can be replicated and automated? Since putting systems into place, I am now able to serve my clients (and myself!) so much better than when I had my head buried in repetitive, simple tasks! Let’s dive into my top 5 automation tools for creative entrepreneurs below.

A Client Management System: Having an all-in-one online system for contracts, invoices, bookkeeping, scheduling, etc. is essential for business owners! I use 17hats but I’ve heard great things about Honeybook and Dubsado as well!

Email Marketing Platform: I had been using MailChimp for years but last summer, I finally found a new fave platform and transferred everything over to FloDesk! It’s beautiful, user-friendly and only $38/month (but only $19 each month with the previous link) for unlimited subscribers and access to all features! That’s unheard of! I love bulk-writing emails and scheduling them for weeks in advance. Want to read more about my love for Flodesk? Check out this blog post: Why I Switched from MailChimp to Flodesk

Instagram Scheduler: Y’all know Planoly will always be my jam! On Sunday nights, I create a week’s worth of Instagram posts and schedule it out!

Gmail Scheduler: I use Boomerang to schedule Gmail emails (so my clients won’t know if I’m working at midnight haha)!

Mileage TrackerMileIQ is an app that runs in the background on your phone and you just swipe left or right for business or personal mileage. SO convenient come tax time.

Those are just a few of my favorite automation tools! I hope you try out a few and speed up your workflow 🙂
