My Favourite And Useful Resources For Running A Portable Career

When I think back about my career, I never imagined myself working from home, having an online business or taking my career with me.

I never thought about using Facebook for my business or even having a website.

Now I am here sitting at my desk and connecting with millions of people, running my coaching sessions while I am travelling.

This is the best thing that could happen to me and I am so grateful that we have all those possibilities and opportunities to create a portable career or an online business.

Today I want to share with you some of my favourite resources which I am constantly using in my business and you can use them, too!

  1. Mailchimp

The most important thing in your online business is to grow your mailing list and build relationships with your contacts. I use MailChimp to collect emails from people who are interested in my work. I love Mailchimp, it is simple to use and cost-effective.

  1. WordPress

When you are just starting out you can use WordPress to create a blog or a website and share your message with your audience.

  1. Canva

Canva is great to create the beautiful photo quotes which you can share via social media, and get visible to your people. Most of the photo quotes I share on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are created using Canva. And it is free!

  1. Pixabay

It is a fantastic place to get beautiful photos for your blog posts. And it is free!

  1. OptimizsePress

I use OptimizsePress to create my lead pages and sales pages (information about my programs). It is simple to use and very cost-effective. You can also create fantastic membership portals and webinar registration pages.

  1. Libsyn

It is a great podcast hosting platform. I use it for our The Expat Career and Lifestyle podcast. Simple to use and it cost you $5 per month

  1. Audacity

A great tool for my podcast editing. It is free.

  1. PayPal

I use PayPal to collect payments from my clients.

  1. Zoom

A great video conferencing, live calls service provider. I use it for our Live Calls and Webinars and sometimes to deliver coaching sessions, one to one and group sessions. You can opt-in for a free membership plan.

  1. Skype

All my coaching sessions are done via Skype! A great tool which changed the way of our international communication.

  1. Picmonkey

You can easily edit your photos, photo quotes, create fantastic collage layouts with Picmonkey. Free version available!

  1. Mp3Skype recorder

If you want to record a session for a client or record an interview for your podcast, this is a tool to be used! You can download it for free!
