My favorite landing page and funnel creator. We use Click Funnels for almost all client landing pages. There is simply no better tool for building easy-to-use sales funnels, webinar pages, and so much more!

Divi WordPress Theme

I’ve built many sites and used almost every website builder out there. Divi, by far, blows them all away  It offers an effortless drag-n-drop editor (I hate coding) and it comes with hundreds of pre-built layouts to use for building beautiful pages in minutes. 

Optinmonster

OptinMonster is my go-to choice for lead generation and conversion optimization. We utilize OptinMonster for practically all our clients due to its unparalleled ability to create stunning pop-ups, tailored opt-in forms, and high-converting exit-intent lightboxes. There’s simply no better software for skyrocketing your email list, engaging visitors, and converting browsers into leads in an instant!

ActiveCampaign

ActiveCampaign is my absolute favorite when it comes to email marketing and automation. We rely on ActiveCampaign for all our client email campaigns. There are a lot of email marketing and CRM platforms out there with all different bells and whistles. But with ActiveCampaign, you get all the mission-critical features at a fraction of the price compared to the others out there.

Mighty Networks is my preferred platform for community building and engagement. We leverage Mighty Networks for all our community-based projects, due to its superior ability to connect members, create engaging content, and host virtual events all under one platform. If you are looking for a more professional version of free Facebook and LinkedIn groups, Mighty Networks is a fantastic option (especially if you want to offer a paid membership option).

SEMrush

SEMrush is my go-to tool for SEO and keyword research. We depend on SEMrush for all our client projects, utilizing its extensive suite of tools for keyword research, competitor analysis, and site audits. One of my favorite tools is the Keyword Magic tool. It allows us to uncover a vast array of keywords, including long-tail keywords, question keywords, and related keywords, all organized in a comprehensive and easy-to-navigate table.

Social Media Tools

Social Posting, Analytics, and Design

Canva

Canva is my number one tool for all my graphic design needs. Despite not being a graphic designer, I use Canva for all my social media posts and advertising campaigns, and the results are always stellar. There’s no need to learn coding or fancy tricks. Canva has a great drag-and-drop interface and done-for-you templates that make anyone, even non-designers like me, look like a pro in the world of visuals!

This is the tool that all the big YouTubers use and I am looking forward to growing my channel with VidIQ as well.

Artificial Intelligence Tools

A.I. & Automation

ChatGPT

ChatGPT has taken over the world and if you are not using it, you are losing ground to your competitors. Think of ChatGPT as your own free (or $20/mth) digital intern. When used right, ChatGPT can save you up to 10 hours per week helping you execute mission-critical marketing and sales tasks. Check out my AI for Marketing newsletter to stay on the 

Jasper AI

Jasper.ai is my other AI companion for content creation. I use Jasper for almost all of my content production needs, from blog posts to social media. But it’s the new Jasper Campaigns feature that has me hooked – it’s a game changer. With one brief, it creates end-to-end marketing campaigns, eliminating the need for tedious planning and execution. No other AI tool makes content creation and marketing as effortless and effective!

Zapier

There’s no better automation and time-saving tool than Zapier. It’s the workhorse behind my business operations, connecting and automating almost all of my apps and software. Everyone should be using Zapier. 

Descript

I’ve never seen anything like Descript when it comes to audio and video editing. You can edit audio and video files just like a text document, saving me countless hours.

Notion

I’ve tried all sorts of notetaking and task management tools. What ended up happening was my notes, and swipe files, and folders, would be all over the place across various platforms. Notion solves that. It’s my all-in-one workspace for notes, tasks, swipe files, ideation, and so much more. Notion.so has truly revolutionized the way I work. It’s more than just a tool – it’s an extension of my thought process!
