MUST HAVE TOOLS

An amazing email marketing tool to use for abandoned carts, exit pop-ups and other campaigns.
This tool has all the advanced features of other email marketing tools, but only cost 1/3 of the price!
Also, it is completely free to use for up to 1st 1000 subscribers!

Hubstaff
It is one of my most valued software as it saves me up a ton of money and also helps to understand better what my employees are doing and what takes take what effort.
It not only tracks time but also takes screenshots on screens and shows activity level.
Pagefly
Amazing app that allows you to customize your Shopify stores design with a simple drag and drop builder.
No need to hire a developer to customize your store when you can easily do it all yourself!
By the way, you can also try it for FREE up to 3 pages and if you cancel your plan, you still have all the customization.
OnlineJobsPH
One of my favorite websites to hire freelancers. If you are just starting out and want to find a good and affordable freelancer this is the option for you.
All the freelancers here are only from the Philippines. Because of that they usually speak good English and you can find a freelancer for as cheap as $2/hour!

STORE THEMES
Pagefly
Amazing app that allows you to customize your Shopify stores design with a simple drag and drop builder.
No need to hire a developer to customize your store when you can easily do it all yourself!
By the way, you can also try it for FREE up to 3 pages and if you cancel your plan, you still have all the customization.
There are a lot of themes out there but these are the ones I found to be the best ones.
You can of course go with a free theme, but considering how much time you save up with these themes and how much you can increase your conversions, I would definitely recommend to get.
If you are going to invest money only into one thing, this should probably be it.

DRIVING TRAFFIC
There are a lot of different ways to drive traffic to your store. Running ads can get expensive very fast, and you need to know what you are doing to get a good return on investment.
Instead of that, I would suggest to check out some of these other ways of driving traffic as they require a lot lower investment and can also provide a higher ROI.

DROPSHIPPING PRODUCTS
Printful
Printful is the most famous print on demand company. You can choose out of a wide catalogue of products and add your designs on them.
Printful has good quality goods and you can even design your own labels for the products.
They do all their printing themselves, so you know what kind of quality to expect.
Printify
Same as Printful, Printify is a print on demand website, but their business model is connecting printing shops with business.
Because of that, the product prices you will find on Printify are some of the lowest out there.
With the print on demand margins, having just couple dollars lower price per t-shirt can really add up.
Ecomhunt
If you want to find some viral type of products having a tool that has automatically sorted out all the options can save up a lot of time.
Ecomhunt constantly suggests new viral products to choose from and on top of that offers some information on the products, such as analytics, facebook ads, engagement and so on.
You can start getting some product suggestions for free, but to see all the information you will need to upgrade to a pro plan.
All these tools do pretty much same thing, but have different choice of supplier and slightly different features.
One is not drastically better than the other, but you should rather choose depending on what fits your needs the best.
CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION
Recart
Recart is basically an app that allows you to do your email marketing via Facebook messenger.
You can easily get customers to opt-in for your messenger list and create abandoned cart and other automated campaigns.
The open rates are much higher than email and you pay based on how much revenue Recart brings in.
OUTSOURCING
OnlineJobsPH
One of my favorite websites to hire freelancers. If you are just starting out and want to find a good and affordable freelancer this is the option for you.
All the freelancers here are only from the Philippines. Because of that they usually speak good English and you can find a freelancer for as cheap as $2/hour!
Hubstaff
Hubstaff is a time-tracking software you can use for your employees.
It is one of my most valued software as it saves me up a ton of money and also helps to understand better what my employees are doing and what takes take what effort.
It not only tracks time but also takes screenshots on screens and shows activity level.
Freelancer
The biggest network of freelancers out there. You can really find any type of expertise you need and people from anywhere in the world.
The prices for freelancers also do range a lot. The great thing is that Freelancer provides an escrow software, so the funds are not released until you are happy with the results.
Fiverr
Fiverr is really great for some small or one-off tasks. If you need some design done or a quick code fix on a store.
Differently from other websites you basically purchase a set service(gig) rather than hire a freelancer.
The price for services start as cheap as $5! Depending on the work it can be more cost-effective and also save you up some time.
FreeUp
Freeup is a very cool freelancer platform because they do the hardest work for you and go through all the freelancers to make sure you only have the 1% working on your stuff.
This takes out a lot of difficult work out of finding a good freelancer, but for that of course the prices are a bit higher then other platforms.
CUSTOMER RETENTION
Pushowl
Pushowl is a Shopify app that allows you to set up push notifications that appear directly on your customers’ desktop or phone screens.
It is an amazing additional way to reach your customers, and it is very effective as they get your message directly on their account.

Tidio
Besides just having a beautiful chat design Tidio also offers up to 100 chatbot triggers even on the free plan!
You can also have multiple operators with a free plan, so you can have your VA or even couple of them answering messages.
Besides that, it has a lot of other great features you would expect from a chat app.
FINANCES
TransferGo
The cheapest transfer method out there for transferring money between different currencies.
Using Transfergo you can save up a lot of money if you are paying people in a different currency (For example, Philipino VA).
TransferGo currently only works if you are transferring money from European countries. If you are based outside Europe check the next service.
Transferwise
I absolutely love Transferwise. This service provides real exchange rates between currencies that usually only banks have.
You can also get their bank card and use it when traveling for better exchange rates and free withdrawals.
I use TransferGo if I am transferring Euros to a different currency and Transferwise when I am transferring USD.
Get your first transfer FREE up to 500 pounds with my link.
OTHER
Teachable
The best tool out there to create and host online courses. The platform makes it super simple to create a course and get your students to sign up.
It is a great option if you have expertise in something and want to start making online courses or using it as an additional resource to earn money with your store selling digital products.
You can start using teachable for free.
