amanda's tools & gadgets
some of my favorite products to help me stay inspired!
These are the resources & marketing tools I use to power my business day to day. I am a tech nerd and I enjoy trying out new tools to see if that tool can compete with what I currently use. Once I find something good, I'll share it on this page.
I've included links of which some may be affiliate links. An affiliate link is one that provides a small commission if you choose to purchase the tool. This comes at no additional cost to you over the normal pricing of that tool.

THINKIFIC
I really like the learning management system that Thinkific provides. Not only do they allow your students to check off assignments once completed, but they also give you the ability to track the progress of your students. It’s mobile friendly and students can save their place without having to start over every time they login. Because it is highly focused on a teacher/student like environment, it also provides discussion areas and additional support for students and course creators. They also integrate with ClickFunnels and Convertkit.

CONVERTKIT/EMAIL SERVICER
ConvertKit is my preferred email service provider. Not only do they have fantastic deliverability, but they also offer fantastic support. The reason that I initially signed up with ConvertKit is the tagging feature. Instead of allowing you to create different lists, you can simply tag each subscriber as they come in. Then you can group the tags and email only the specific subscribers you choose. This is a huge help when you are creating different lead magnets and you want to only speak to the people who signed up for a specific lead magnet. They also allow you to create simple landing pages so you can quickly deliver your lead magnets. You can also embed your form in a blog post or just send the link so new subscribers can sign up that way.

FRASE/CONTENT IDEAS
I've been using Frase for a few months now and it's one of my new favorite tools! Not only does it help me figure out content ideas, I can also use it to optimize existing content. I've been using it to create SEO friendly content for my blog, but I have also used it to script out YouTube videos.
Sometimes I'll use a teleprompter and having a script makes batch recording videos that much easier. I've also been playing around with the A.I. writer lately and its pretty cool to see it write paragraphs just based on a few word prompts. If you are creating videos or blog posts, this tool alone will save you hours.

HELLOSIGN/DIGITAL CONTRACT
My high-ticket coaching clients all get customized client agreements that require my signature and their signature. Instead of sending a simple PDF or worse, mailing a contract, I send digital contracts via HelloSign. When I book many one on one clients and each person needs a customized contract I use the Pro plan. With HelloSign I can see when a client viewed the contract and I can easily download the final PDF from the confirmation email or when logging in.

ZOOM
I use Zoom for client calls, video chats, and when I am working with potential clients who are overseas. Zoom is a meeting room software that you can also use to deliver live trainings. We use this for weekly group coaching calls as well. I really like Zoom because I can choose to record my meetings automatically either to my computer or in the cloud. Then I get a notification once the recording is done. For my client calls, I simply send a link so the client can view their call, or I can download the file and save it into the client’s folder on Google Drive.

All of my business email, my business calendar, and shared folders run through G-Suite. I use Google Drive to share files with my team as well as store downloads for courses. When my video editor completes a first draft, he stores the file in Google Drive and I can easily watch, download, and save. Even though I have professional email addresses with my business URL at the end, I still filter them through my Gmail inbox so I don’t have to worry about logging in to 3 different email clients. Each day I’m checking my business calendar to make sure I don’t miss an appointment.
What can I say about ThriveCart? It's AH-mazing. I use this shopping cart software to sell my digital products, courses, and even manage my monthly recurring revenue from group coaching programs. I like the ability to offer flash sales, limited stock on digital items, and quickly create a cart page that accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, can handle international clients AND sends an invoice with each purchase. They also integrate with ConvertKit so I can tag purchasers and create special follow up sequences.
