Tools I recommend

Here are most of the tools I use/ my clients use. Most are free tools with optional upgrades. Some of the links are affiliate links which means that if you create an account using my link and end up upgrading in future, the company will credit me a small amount. It doesn’t cost you anything extra.

PS YOU DON’T NEED ALL OF THESE NOW- Be careful of tech rabbit holes!

  • MailerLite– Email marketing- simple and easy to use
  • Milkshake App on your phone or Taplink– a quasi mini website for people to click through from your FB or Instagram. Similar to LinkTree, but you can upgrade to have videos/ more info. Cannot be found you Google. A short-term solution before you have a website.
  • Google Sites & Google Workspace– to build a website cheaply and get our custom email address too. Very easy to use.
  • WordPress.com– to build a website- medium learning curve. Great free email tech support & help documents.
  • Green Eco Hosting if you decide to go with the more complex WordPress.org. Big and ongoing learning curve.
  • Canva.com– to make professional looking graphics
  • Creative Market– an amazing place for templates for powerpoint slides, ebooks, canva graphics for Instagram, for logos and graphics. Warning- easy to get carried away!
  • LastPass– for remembering all your passwords and generating strong passwords.
  • Freedom.to – to block distracting websites and block all apps and websites at scheduled times (e.g. evening!). Also, you can play bird song/ office background noise through it which I find helpful when working online.
  • Calendly – a scheduling software for clients to book, pay for sessions & editable email reminders before and after a session.
  • Cronometer– a free app for tracking your food which tells you the nutrients and vitamins you are getting and you are missing. Used by alot of nutritionists. Useful for vegans and vegetarians.
  • Free Photos
  • Reduce/ Compress image size: tinypng.com
  • Learning:
    • Skillshare– you join as a member and can take any and all courses they have available. a great place to learn about your area of expertise and about business, tech and your hobbies too or to get ideas about course creation in your niche. Skillshare courses are quite short. Udemy.com is also wonderful. and courses are longer.
  • To host online courses:
    • Simply use Google Drive and Unlisted Youtube Videos
    • Membervault– 100 course participants for free. Good place to start.
    • Teachery.co – You can get lifetime access to this for free by joining the Wandering Aimfully community which I’m part of. It opens for enrolment a few times a year or email me for an invitation to join any time.
    • Teachable.com and Thinkific.com– expensive but good looking & very easy to use. 
    • Learndash- if you have a WordPress website and want a plugin to have your course area directly on your website. Only for tech people. Learn from WPCrafter on YouTube
  • To host an online community:
    • Mighty Networks– a place to set up your online community- like having a Facebook of your very own- a forum, member profiles and area for your courses. I think it’s ok- a little clunky
    • Slack.com for forum space with different forum topics. I like this alot.
    • Tribe.so
    • Circle.so

[00:00:00] Let’s build our next page. I’m going to press the plus button in the center at the bottom and it asks me which page structure would I like. The next page is our about page. Obviously enough, [00:00:15] we’re going to pick the about page structure.

[00:00:17] Again, it asks me which look, which brand would I like. I’m scrolling down and each time I’m choosing the same one, which is called wanderlust. I will click that and now I need to [00:00:30] go through the fields here.

[00:00:31] So it is my about page here. The card heading: the heading of this page can be About and on most of the pages, I’m not going to have a subtitle. So I’m going to just put [00:00:45] an X there.

[00:00:46] I’m going to leave their sample writing and I’m going to change my photo. Choose from library. I go into my images and I choose a photo. So this is my about [00:01:00] page. So I’m going to choose the one that looks kind of relaxed, a bit behind the scenes.

[00:01:07] Do I want to put any links on this page? No. I want the person to read this page and then stay on my website and [00:01:15] not go anywhere else. I’m going to remove those links, not going to add any social links here and I’m going to press Preview.

[00:01:23] About, photo, some words. It’s perfect. Let’s press publish. We now have a [00:01:30] home page and an about page.

Networking Zoom

Let’s get back to meeting in-person again! This is a meet up for Holistic Business Owners (and future owners) in Athlone to get to know one another, make friends and support each other in business. All are welcome. We will meet upstairs in the Prince Bar in Athlone for lunch and a chat.


This is not clicky, and not awkward networking. Everyone is very friendly and new people are very welcome. At the start, we will each have 2 minutes to introduce ourselves and our business. The intros are a handy way to spark conversation and get to know people. After the intros, we will eat and just chat informally. We had 6 meetups pre-2020 and lots of wonderful connections were made as a result of like-minded people coming together. Here’s the Facebook Group if you’d like to join that. You are very welcome to come along. Forward this event to any friend who you think might like to come along.
