Have you ever wondered if a system existed to make tasks in your business less time-consuming?
Running a business is hard enough already, so today, we've compiled a comprehensive list of all the systems you could ever need to make your business run smoother and your life easier. You'll want to bookmark this one, friend!
Business:
No matter where you are in your business, a CRM program (client relationship management) is 100% essential in our digital age. You can send proposals, contracts, and invoices, automate emails, track scheduling, and more with programs made for photographers and creatives. Each program offers a free trial, so test out which one is the right fit for you.
Quickbooks is great for accounting and integrates with some CRM programs to make bookkeeping a breeze. Quickbooks can also track your miles, or you can use a separate app like Everlance or Mile IQ.
Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive are fantastic resources as well.
Social Media:
Posting regularly to social media is a must. Save time and plan a week or month of content at once. Batch schedule in advance and automatically post, so you don't have to think about it again.
Ultize Tailwind for Pinterest to schedule and automatically pin your photos and get more eyes on your work.
Design:
Do you need to create a client guide or perfectly arrange photos for a stunning post? Effortlessly design on-brand content from your phone and leave everyone wondering where you got your professional quality graphic design skills.
We also love Creative Market for fonts, templates, and graphics. They have a vast selection for every aesthetic!
Photography:
As every photographer knows, the job is far from done when you set down the camera! Besides backing up your photos on multiple external hard drives, use cloud storage services like Backblaze for additional security.
Deliver galleries and increase your passive income by selling prints through online gallery services.
Quickly design and share album proofs with clients through
AlbumStomp and SmartAlbums. They simplify the design and ordering process so you can focus on selling more.
Create beautiful collages for blogging and Facebook sharing with Blogstomp. Everyone will be asking what templates you use!
We hope you implement these tools to run your business more efficiently and save time so you can enjoy your favorite things in life!
