Tools
Apps to aid in your Production efforts.
** I have partnered with some of the services that I use. This has allowed me to offer you some promotions with the special links below (extended trials and discounts).

ActiveCampaign
If you’ve gotten an email from me it probably came from ActiveCampaign. This is the top when it comes to email marketing and automation. Their system allows you to automate so many actions based on different events or triggers (when an action takes place). A must for serious emailers running a podcast or website. Comes with a built-in CRM.

Adobe Audition
Adobe Audition comes with the Adobe Creative Suite. It is used by podcasters and moviemakers. It can be intimidating at the start but once you get used to it, it has a lot of powerful tools such as removing noise, adding effects, and managing your multitrack sessions. A bit more complex/complicated than Descript, but super powerful for professional projects.

Auphonic
Auphonic is an excellent tool for rescuing bad recordings and ensuring your final mix is up to Radio Standards. I use this to “clean up” the final mix from Adobe Audition to ensure the vocal and music tracks have the same loudness so my listener gets what they expect when they put the volume to a certain level.

Captivate Podcasting
Captivate podcasting hosting service. Create & distribute unlimited podcasts, get advanced analytics, and monetize & promote in a straightforward dashboard.

CloudHQ
CloudHQ is a data migration/data syncing tool. It was critical to migrate all of my business data from Drop to G-Drive. I also used it back when I relied on Salesforce. Great for backing up cloud data. Must have.

Descript
Record, edit, mix, collaborate, and master your audio and video with Descript. It wasn’t until I switched to Descript that I felt like I could produce content for the long term.

Digital Marketer
If you’re looking to learn about Paid Traffic, Content Marketing, Copywriting, etc.. Digital Marketer is a great place to take courses and get up to speed. These courses have helped me with this website and developing content and the right copy (how I speak in email and these pages).

Fabulous
On some of the days I felt most lost, what kept me going was my list of daily (morning, afternoon, evening, and shutdown) habits. With Fabulous you can make a custom list of habits at custom times of day on specific days. Complete with guided meditations, this app is a lifesaver.

Freedom App
If you can’t stay off your phone or from checking Facebook every 10 minutes, Freedom App is great for blocking specific apps and websites for either set amounts of time or during a schedule you determine.

Missinglettr
Clever social campaigns and engagement tools for companies that blog. Beats the heck out of the Buffer app.

SEMrush Academy
SEMrush has an amazing suite of free online courses for SEO and Content. You should know this stuff if you’re in business and have or run a website. Traffic and Copy are essential to communicating your value, and in turn, making money.

Setapp
It’s like getting a bunch of apps for the price of 1. Ulysses, a very popular writing app is included which by itself costs $5.99 per month, but for 9.99 per month on Setapp, you get Ulysses and MANY other very useful and productive apps ranging from utilities, photo editing, project management, and writing tools.

Taplink
If you’ve heard of Linktree or another link in bio tool, this is WAY better. Taplink helps you make a landing page and link to include in your Instagram (or anywhere you want) bio. This way you don’t lose out by having to choose another social link in your bio; this allows you to include them all.

Zapier
One app to rule them all. Zapier is a service that allows you to connect to many other web apps/services that you use. Think of it as automation without any coding. Bring information from one system into another, as actions happen. This app will make or break your business as the economy continues to scale.
