Hey

If you've been in the community for a while, you know I'm an advocate of bootstrapping and keeping costs to a minimum. Especially if you're only just starting out in business. A while ago I filmed a video on the costs of running a coaching business where I talk more about this.

One of my favourite places to shop for my business is AppSumo - a website where you can buy lifetime deals on software and tools that would normally cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds per year.

I have a habit of scouting their website every couple of months and noticed that they currently have some great deals that I wanted to tell you about. I'll briefly describe each of them below.

PromoRepublic, the tool I use for social media scheduling is back on AppSumo as a lifetime deal starting at $49. I bought this a year ago and it replaced Canva, Bugger, Unsplash, Planoly and a bunch of other tools. I used it as a basis for creating my Medium article on 31 content ideas for coaches and have only good things to say about it.

GrabSign is a tool that allows you to digitally sign documents and send them to other people who can also sign them electronically. No need to download anything, you can track the documents, send reminders, etc.

It costs $69 and I purchased this myself because I did not want to pay £8/month and be limited to 5 documents only with a different provider. It works great if you are a coach (for your coaching agreements) but also if you run another type of business.

There are many other tools available now on their website, including SendFox - the email marketing system I use to send you emails every week. Regardless of the stage you're currently at in your business and your specific needs, I am sure there is something on AppSumo currently for you. I would encourage you to browse their current deals and bookmark their website for later.

I am saving thousands of pounds per year in business costs because I bought some amazing deals from them and I'd like you to do that too.

As always, please reply with any questions or comments.

Take care and speak soon,

Alisa
