Here’s some information about my favorite online tools for creating and collaborating.
Design
Canva is a graphic design platform used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, and other visual content. Their free plan has everything you need to start designing!
Google Tools – All FREE!
- Google Forms allows you to create custom forms and surveys. Manage event registrations, whip up a quick poll, collect email addresses for a newsletter, create a pop quiz, and much more. Add images, videos and custom logic to give people who respond a great survey experience. You can also access the raw data and analyze it with Google Sheets.
- Google Docs brings your documents to life with smart editing and styling tools to help you easily format text and paragraphs. I like to think of it as an online alternative to Microsoft Word. It’s ideal for collaborating because everyone can work together in the same document at the same time.
- Google Sheets makes your data pop with colorful charts and graphs. Built-in formulas, pivot tables and conditional formatting options save time and simplify common spreadsheet tasks.
Social Media Scheduling
Later is an all-in-one social marketing platform. Plan, analyze, and publish your content. The best part, for me, is that it allows you to schedule posts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok, and LinkedIn in advance! Their free plan allows you 30 posts per social profile per month.
Email Marketing
Mailchimp‘s easy‑to‑use email builder has the tools you need to grow your business. Engage your audience with email marketing and use automation features to create marketing workflows. Smart design and content tools allow you to build a brand that feels like you.
