Pros
Cons
2. Best Abandoned Cart Email
Recover Abandoned Cart
Active campaign is the most advanced email marketing tool I’ve come across…at a price. Their deep data API lets you tag and track a variety of actions and behaviors in your email. It’s the industry leader in advanced email tagging and tracking.
Pros
Cons
3. Best Affiliate Plugin
Affiliate WP
I’ve used a lot of affiliate websites. Most are really hard to navigate and frustrating for your affiliates and managing them. Affiliate WP is so simple and easy to use both for you and your affiliates. The layout and features are top notch, it’s the best I’ve found.
Pros
Cons
4. Best Free CRM Software:
Hubspot CRM
While HubSpot has paid options, they have a fantastic CRM which lets you keep track of customers, set reminders to follow up, and see if people have opened your email and clicked the link.
Pros
Cons
5. Best Social Scheduler
Zoho Social
Affordable but powerful, Zoho Social lets you schedule to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, LinkedIn Business Page, and Google My Business Page.
You can also see and respond directly to comments. You can even have it post at the best time for your audience and give team members various access.
Pros
Cons
6. Best Website Suite
Thrive Themes
If you’re trying to generate emails, leads, and sales using your WordPress website, this is a absolute must have. It has everything for creating pages, split testing (testing different variations of a page to see what performs better. You can run quizzes, have a variety of email opt-ins. It’s really the full package and it fits together beautifully.
Pros
Cons
7. Best WordPress Page Builder
Thrive Architect
I made the switch from Elementor to Thrive Architect and I’ll never go back.
Architect is easy to use, it has fast page load speeds, and a robust set of tools. With their smart pages, you can REALLY quickly use templates to create beautiful pages.
If you don’t want the full Thrive Themes membership, you can pick up Thrive Architect for a 1 time fee (although the suite is worth it, I use every single tool)
Pros
Cons
8. Best Page Metrics Tools
Hotjar
This tool will help you see where people are scrolling and where people are clicking. This is incredibly important for any paid traffic. It will help you make a adjustments to the page layout, you’ll see where you’re losing people, and can adjust where you place your buttons or call-to-actions.
Pros
Cons
9. Best Affordable Keyword Research
Long Tail Pro
While Ahrefs is even more in-depth, long tail pro is 1/6 the cost and has three features I like.
I don’t trust the keyword volume on ANY of these tools now that I’ve seen my own traffic vs what predicted traffic the two aren’t even close. But, Long Tail Pro is the best at keyword ideas/angles. And, they also make it easy to see how competitive each search term is as well as keyword rank tracking.
Pros
Cons
10. Best Email Marketing
Mailerlite
Calendly is a great free option for booking basic appointments. You can connect 1 calendar with one type of event. You need to have Calendly branding and miss out on a number of key features, but it’s a great free option for people looking to do basic scheduling.
Pros
Cons
21. Best Image Processing App
Glorify
I was using Canva to create images, but this one is much better. First, you get access to ALL their templates with the plan for all the different file sizes. But, by far the biggest selling point is the background remover. It’s SO easy to cut out a person from the background. I’ve used Photoshop and a variety of tools and none come close at removing background. I still use Photoshop for advanced photo editing, but this is a crucial part of my toolkit.
Pros
Cons
24. Best for Key YouTube Data
Vid IQ
VidIQ features a number of tools and metrics that you can’t get through YouTube analytics.
You can see what content from your competitors are getting the most views per day. It’s a fantastic tool for analyzing what’s working best and other key metrics for your channel
Pros
Cons
1. Best Booking Software
BOOK LIKE A BOSS
Why I love it
Appointment Booking software is a HUGE time saver.
I used to spend so much time finding appointments, scheduling Zoom Links, sending reminders and questionnaires. Now, the entire thing is automated.,
