My 4 Must-Have Every Day Tools
My 4 Must-Have Every Day Tools
Before you get started in any online project
Whether you are working on an established website or starting up a new project, there are a few must-have apps and services.
Below I have collected some of the most powerful and important tools I use on a daily basis; from social media to project management to email marketing.
Project Management
Monday.com has been one of my favorite tools I’ve discovered and used. It is a great way to organize files, ideas, progress, and more.

Website Analytics

Email Marketing
Email marketing is still the best form of digital marketing. It’s the only way to guarantee you reach your audience with something (the subject line at least!) without fighting with platform feeds like Facebook or Instagram. I use MailChimp for all of my email marketing. Regardless of what service you use, email marketing should be a big part of your digital marketing efforts regularly.

Any day, I could use up to 20 various services online, but these are the ones I spend the most time on.
