People regularly ask me for tools and resources that I frequently use in my coaching and blogging business. I have put together resources that I believe are beneficial.
Web Platform
WordPress – It is the most preferred platform to create a website. It’s also great for building a website. It is user-friendly, and there are several plugins that can add advanced functionality to your website.
Joomla – Another CMS that used to be popular once upon a time. But WordPress seems to have clearly overtaken. I’ve used Joomla in the past, but not a big fan anymore.
Coaches Console – This is a platform that lets you manage your entire coaching business in one place. It lets you create a website; and your contact management, scheduling, communication, billing, shopping cart, content delivery, reporting, and everything is in one place. It’s more like an all-in-one software. Saves you time, money, and you don’t need to use multiple softwares. People who don’t want the hassle of using multiple softwares might like this option.
Email Marketing Software
Aweber – One of the most popular email marketing softwares. Lets you embed forms, schedule autoresponders, and create campaigns.
MailChimp – Another popular email software similar to Aweber.
Getresponse – Very similar to Aweber, and MailChimp. However, we’ve found the other two more user-friendly.
Hosting
Bluehost – We use Bluehost for some of our websites. I’ve used this for many years, and have rarely experienced any problems.
Siteground – After a top marketer recommended this to me, I used it for one of my websites. Till now, it’s been good.
Domain Registration
Namecheap – A place to register a domain name for a low price.
Conversion Marketing
Leadpages – It’s a software that helps you create landing pages quickly. It can save you time and money on a web developer.
Clickfunnels – A far more robust tool than just creating landing pages. This software helps you create an entire sales funnel, along with landing pages, website builder, payment gateways, autoresponders, webinars, and much more.
Webinar Software
WebinarJam – A software that helps you with conducting webinars.
