Resources to help your biz grow
Running a biz is like a watch a swan swim- it looks graceful above the water, but takes lots of energy below the surface!
Here are all of my very best tools and resources. From freebies, I've created for Direct Sellers and Network Marketers to the tools and training we personally use to run Anchor Design Co. We've tested hundreds of apps and tools over the years and on this page I'm sharing the best of the best that have stood up to the test of time.
Because I love some of these tools so much I became an affiliate which means I receive a commission if you purchase using my code or link. It doesn't cost you anything extra… if fact, it usually saves you money since most companies give their affiliates special deals for their followers! Anything I share on this page has my full and heartfelt endorsement, and I'll only recommend products to you that I absolutely love and trust myself. Enjoy!

I'm pulling back the curtain! If I had to narrow it down to just my all-time favorites, this is it!
Organization + Biz Management
ClickUp
ClickUp is the first thing I look at every day and how I organize all-of-the-things in my business. This is a tool for communication, lists, planning, tracking deadlines, and has completely replaced the pile of messy sticky notes and checklists on my desk.
Social Media Scheduler
CinchShare
I use CinchShare to upload photos, write captions, organize my feed, and schedule all of my social media marketing automatically.
Cinchshare is a massive time saver and wildly cost-effective at only $10 per month.
Graphic Design
Canva
Canva is my #1 secret to having great designs without spending a lot of time on the computer… and it's my client's secret to great designs without being a designer! Canva is a must-have tool for any business that wants a gorgeous image, for sure!
Email Marketing
ActiveCampaign
My right hand when it comes to email marketing. ActiveCampaign makes it really easy to send gorgeous emails and see analytics for those emails so that you can better serve your audience AND your business. using my link gives you an extended free trial that isn't available anywhere else!
Cashback Biz Credit Card
American Express
This is my absolute favorite business credit card because it is by far the best cash-back option at a rate of 2% on all purchases. You can redeem points for cash, gift cards, or even use them to pay your balance. With my link, you can get a $250 statement credit, which is a really sweet bonus!
Text Messages
ManyChat
Did you know that the average open rate of a text message is 98% compared to an average of 20% for emails? Needless to say, SMS marketing is something worth considering! I've been using ManyChat for four years consistently and absolutely love it. It's easy but also VERY robust. It also offer Instagram & Facebook message automation as well, which is a huge perk.

If you're like me, tax season is straight-up intimidating. Amy Northard's Be Your Own CFO program gave me the confidence I needed to not just be prepared for tax season but to handle my finances year-round from bookkeeping, to paying myself, to deductions, to my retirement fund.
Facebook Ads
Crazy Brilliant Facebook Ads
Thinking about using Facebook ads to promote your business or get new leads but aren't sure where to start? Amy Crane's course, Crazy Brilliant Facebook Ads, is my favorite FB ad course for beginners!
Digital Products
The Digital Lab
If you have a digital product business or have been thinking about create a course, template, or other digital product I can't recomend Megan Martin's Digitall Lab membership enough. Megan is a breath of fresh air and will help you create your first (or next!) digital products with ease.
