Summary

As online business owners, we’re no stranger to digital tools. We build websites, edit video, create graphics, develop courses, take payments, host video calls, and even sometimes use pen and paper to organize our thoughts. Always in the back of our minds lurks the question, is this the best tool? Is there something else out there I should be using instead? Is there something better? In this episode, I’m taking you on a behind-the-scenes tour of the apps and tools that are running my business, including what’s changed in the past year, and what’s due for a change in 2024. Prefer a transcript? Here you go! What you’ll learn in this episode: Why I changed up my single most important marketing tool this year, and what I’m using instead. Why I still recommend (strongly) that you own and control your online home, the platform I use, and the one I’d choose if I were just getting started today. Where I host specialty files, such as video and audio. Why I’m abandoning my (formerly) favorite page builder in 2024, and the tool that will replace it. Why my preferred shopping cart isn’t what I recommend you use, especially if you’re just getting started, as well as my current top pick.
