TOOLS & RESOURCES FOR ENTREPRENEURS & ARTISTS
Hi folks, hope you are all doing great! thank you for the warm welcome, it is great to be part of the tribe. 🙏🙂
✅ The curated list below is a collection of apps I have tried and tested (free tier) over the last five years and still use very often. One of the greatest challenges when starting your own thing, whether it’s a business or creative project or a mix of both, is finding a set of tools to launch and manage your personal vision on a (zero) budget.
🎯 I’ve tried to cover every solution an entrepreneur, artist, or tech-curious person may need. From accounting, content creation, digital media editing, marketing, and research, to “let’s see if AI can do this for me”.
☕🏃💨TL;DR: Canva on a free tier (paid, even better) is versatile enough to do most things.
👨🏫 If you have any questions about any of these, drop them in the comments below and I’ll answer where I can, don’t forget to smash that sub…uh, sorry wrong platform. 🙃 If there’s anything you need a specific app for that isn’t covered in the list below; I’ll go take a look in the SaaSiest corners of the web for you, on my own, no guardian angel investor. 🤠
☠️ 🏁N.B Disclaimers & Disclosures: Always check any platform’s latest T&Cs. I’m not affiliated with any of these brands. The Egyptians built and named the great ancient pyramids; we just call them Multi-Level Marketing today. 👽 Aliens and mermaids do exist, I met one the other day and she was REALLY cool! 🧜🎹
📊 I hope the below is useful and helps you all get linked in and optimize your core competencies for maximum ROI to hit those Q3 KPIs and increase your customer LTVs. 💰 Thank you for attending my Tedx Talk.🙏 Have an awesome weekend!!! 🍹
