The All-in-One-Platform That Runs My Business 👑-

Freedomkit.ai

This platform is relatively new, however it is constantly improving and evolving. Sometimes there are multiple updates in one day.

I was sick of having to login in to multiple platforms and tools daily for my business.

I have used an all-in-one platform before, Kajabi, for a different business several years ago. I liked it, but the email functions weren't

quite sophisticated enough for me at the time.

Freedomkit.ai is quite the comprehensive platform. Not only can I host my website and write blog posts right through the platform, I can do all of my email marketing through it, and host all of my pictures, videos, PDF's. Plus have all of my courses and other digital products be created and housed through the platform. That is a fraction of what it can do.

Phew, it can be a little overwhelming at the beginning. I don't recommend it for someone completely brand new to the online business scene.So far, it's great.

I love not having to log in to 5,002 different things, not to mention trying to remember all of those passwords. 😅

The Creative Fuel for my Business ⛽ -

Canva

I utterly adore creating (pretty much anything and everything) inside of Canva.

I have had an account ever since my online journey began about 5 years ago.

I have had a pro account for a few years. And the second pro account is a fairly recent addition.

My first account is my main one and is the one I use to create everything for my Etsy store.

The second account is solely for CRAZY DECISIONS.

Creative Fabrica

The amount of content that is available for all of your crafting desires is truly dizzying. (In the best possible way.)

From graphics, to templates, to fonts, to mockups, there is truly something for everyone.

They even have a line of AI tools called Spark. I like creating AI generated patterns.

My favorite tool is Spark Crystalline which is creating transparent PNGs. (Fun fact: the majority of the images on Crazy Decisions are created using Spark Crystalline).

For Faster Creation 🎨 -

Printables to Courses (From Kenz Soliman)

Inside of this small and mighty course at an insanely reasonable price, Kenz walks you through how to take a printable (usually a type of eBook, playbook or workbook whose licensing allows for this sort of thing), and turn it into a course or workshop in a short amount of time, using her F.A.S.T. framework

This course is great for several reasons.

1) It helps you to leverage all the templates you have so they don't collect digital dust.

2) It helps you repurpose your own content.

3) It helps you get digital products out the door quickly so you don't get caught in the analysis paralysis trap or stuck in an imposter syndrome cycle.

After going through this course myself, I was able to create

Coloring Page Scene Creators (From Lindsey @ Regel Designs)

I have an Etsy shop that sells a lot of coloring pages. One of my time-saving hacks is using scene creators to help me create coloring pages in minutes.

The scene creators from Regel Designs are multiple images that come with backgrounds and borders allowing you to mix and match pieces to create the perfect coloring page.

The elements work great for creating other printables, such as letter writing worksheets or kid activity packs.

The Course That Helped Me Set Up My Email List Quickly 📋 -

How to Start Your Email List in a Weekend (From Christina Peterson)

This is a meaty course that walks you through the process in setting up your email list. It includes everything from setting up the foundation, to choosing an email provider, to creating a lead magnet (also called a: freebie, optin, free optin, free lead magnet), to getting a welcome sequence set up.

It is concise and actionable. This is a video course, however Christina includes transcripts that you can download as well.
