It’s pretty easy to feel overwhelmed as a small business owner, especially when you’re juggling all the things and wearing all the hats! We’re often trying to do absolutely everything ourselves and damn it, THAT is hard! The one big lesson I’ve learnt over the last year is to outsource, for both time management and efficiency. 

Outsourcing is essential to not only allow you to expand and grow but also gives you more time to spend on the core areas of your business, the parts that you love and light you up.

Take a look at my top 5 must have online tools to make small business life so much easier: 

1. FIVERR 

An online platform for finding freelancers offering digital services like editing, digital marketing, copywriting, video, animation, music, web development etc. Need something done for your business, pay someone on Fiverr to do it.

2. COPY.AI

This tool is genius! An AI-powered copywriter that generates high quality copy for your business. If you struggle to find the words, copy.ai is for you. Simply enter in a bit of a rough structure of your copy, hit enter and it will give you handful of cleverly worded options. Can be used for product descriptions, blog posts, website, social media posts, emails and much more.

3. CANVA

Canva is an online design tool where you can create pretty much anything. Use the already existing templates or create your own. Use it to create social media posts, workbooks, presentations, posters, videos, logos and so much more. It's definitely worth paying for the pro plan here so you can upload your branding suite. 

4. CREATIVE MARKET

One of my absolute favourites! Creative Market is an online marketplace with a focus on digital artists. Here, you can find downloadable products made by creatives for creatives! Social, media kits, web layouts, graphics, fonts, photos templates… pretty much anything

5. ROUNDED 

Say goodbye to confusing spreadsheets and complicated software with Rounded. Accounting software for sole traders. I love this program and use it to track all my accounts for my own business. Send invoices, record expenses…it does it all
