Paid and Free Software to Consider - EMP008

Starting a business or side-hustle comes with a lot of not-so-fun
tasks. You don’t just get to invent a product, but you’ve got to
build the foundation. A website, social media content, editing
audio footage, and more requires software and online tools. I’ll
walk you through my go-to list and make it super simple for you.
Paid is usually better, but there’s a lot of great stuff out
there that’s completely free as well.


Tools I recommend checking out:


Websites/Sales Funnels


WordPress - build websites (free and paid plans)

ClickFunnels - build sales funnels (14 day trial, then
$97/month)



Email Automation


MailChimp - create automated email campaigns (free until you
have more than 2,000 subscribers or send more than 12,000 emails
a month)



Graphic Design


Unsplash - free stock photos to use (give credit to
photographers if you like to help them out)

Canva - graphic design for dummies. Mostly free, but you can
pay for a few premium templates or graphics.



Screen Recording Software


Open Broadcaster Software - free software to record your
screen for tutorials or videos
