💻 8 Tech Tools for Business Success in 2024
Hey there Reader,
Navigating 2024 requires the right tools for business growth. I often get asked which apps and tools I use in my business so this week I’m sharing eight tech tools crucial to my stack this year, ideal for enhancing workflows, streamlining finances, and improving marketing.

-
​Notion​
- Why It’s Essential: My go-to for all things content + organization. It’s like having an infinitely customizable workspace that adapts to my ever-changing business needs.
-
​MemberVault​
- Why It’s Essential: This isn’t just a platform; it’s a powerhouse for hosting and selling digital products, with incredible features to engage and understand my audience.
-
​ConvertKit​
- Why It’s Essential: Email marketing can be daunting, but ConvertKit makes it a breeze with its intuitive design and powerful automation, helping me connect with my audience more effectively.
-
​Moxie​
- Why It’s Essential: For those who freelance, contract, or provide online classes or coaching, Moxie streamlines scheduling, payments, and client interactions, making life a whole lot easier.

-
​Lili.co​
- Why It’s Essential: Tailored banking for small business owners. Its features for expense tracking and tax preparation are a lifesaver for keeping my finances in check.
-
​AppSumo​
