This is a list of the tech I personally use: (affiliate links are included — thanks for the support if you use any of these to sign up! 😉 )

COURSES

Kajabi for hosting {Affiliate Link for 15% off any Kajabi plan: https://app.newkajabi.com/r/J9iRtyLE }

Before I used Kajabi I just hosted used my website and password protected the page

Screencast-o-matic for recording videos

Google Slides for creating slide decks

BUSINESS EMAIL / ONLINE STORAGE

Google Drive (I have G Suite and Google Apps for one email address, $5/month)

CRM Management for leads to reach out to, or collab opportunities

Streak (add-on for Gmail)

CONTENT BATCHING/ORGANIZATION

Airtable

Redbooth (similar to Trello, for people like me who just couldn't fall in love with Trello)

Google Keep

A constant pile of sticky notes, notepads, and journals on my desk…

GRAPHICS

Canva (free version)

Occasionally I’ll use Photoshop and Illustrator, but rarely ever, these days (I get distracted and nitpicky when I have too many options, and then things never get done!)

On Phone when I’m on the go: Textgram App (Android)

WEBINAR/MASTERCLASSES (I’ve only done one, so… 😉 )

Zoom Pro $14.99 per month — not the webinar version.

APPOINTMENTS

Book Like a Boss (because I got lifetime access for free via Appsumo — it feels clunky to me, though)

EMAIL MARKETING

Convertkit

POSTING TO INSTAGRAM

Grum.co

VIDEO CAMERA

Logitech C920 https://amzn.to/2KtOT1U — HIGHLY recommend this, even if you have a decent webcam already. The difference in video quality is incredible.

Usually my phone: LG G5

VIDEO HOSTING

Vimeo (paid version, for unlimited upload ability, because some weeks I upload a lot of stuff)

VIDEO EDITING

Cyberlink Powerdirector

Screencast-o-matic http://screencast-o-matic.com/refer/cD6i3ehOZp (it has some editing ability, like text on screen or cropping the video down, but again, I don't edit at all, typically)

MICROPHONE

Blue Snowball – https://amzn.to/2Y4bEgi

Arm/stand (the tripod that comes with the mic sucks) https://amzn.to/2XsxNre + http://amzn.to/2EK1TKL (connector/adapter)

COMPUTER

Razer Blade https://amzn.to/2MXNWRG

Contour Mouse (I get pain in my wrist with any other mouse) by Contour Design

PHONE

LG G5 (Android)

FB LIVE

I Broadcast live from desktop/website mostly, but occasionally use the Facebook App

Occasionally I use OBS (Open Broadcasting Software) if I want to switch between screenshare and my face — it has a learning curve, though!
