Business Systems and Tools
Dubsado
A few months ago, I wrote a whole post about Dubsado and how I use it to organize and automate my business. Read the post here.
If you are looking for a CRM (customer-relationship management) tool, look no further than Dubsado. Dubsado is a vital tool for running an organized, efficient business. With all of the tasks that small business owners have to do every single day, it’s important to create workflows and automations within the business.
I love that Dubsado is a CRM made for small business owners, by small business owners. They were able to recognize what would improve client management systems and that’s what they created.
The features and automations within Dubsado allow me to automate nearly everything in my business, especially when it comes to managing clients. I am so thankful for all the time that Dubsado saves me as it allows me to spend more time and energy working in my zones of genius (social media and design).
From Tuesday, November 26th 10am PT to Tuesday, December 3rd 4pm PT, enjoy 20% off your first month or year of Dubsado!
Quickbooks is the accounting software that we use here at Girlcrush and we absolutely love it. It keeps all our finances very organized so we can keep track of our income and expenses, send invoices, track sales, manage contractors, capture receipts, and so much more. You can easily connect your accountant to your Quickbooks account or even hire a bookkeeper through Quickbooks if you don’t already have one!
Quickbooks just one of the financial software companies offered by Intuit. Intuit also owns TurboTax and Mint (I am so obsessed with Mint, I’ll have to write a whole post about it soon!). I just love that I can use Quickbooks for my business bookkeeping, Mint for my personal finances, and TurboTax for my taxes, and all 3 are connected and easily sync up with each other when needed.
Quickbooks plans start at just $8/mo if you sign up during their Black Friday sale! I mean, come on, that’s a no-brainer for any entrepreneur. Plus, your first 30 days are free so if you hate it, you can cancel!
I use Quickbooks, so I cannot personally speak for Freshbooks, but they are running a sale as well so I thought I’d mention this one in case you’re not interested in Quickbooks!
Powerful Features Included in All Plans:
Customize invoices and look professional
Send estimates that help you win jobs
Accept credit cards and ACH bank transfers online
All your information is securely stored
Award winning Toronto-based customer service
Project budgets that keep your team on track
Dashboards that keep your finger on the pulse

Freshbooks is offering 50% off your first 3 months, and this offer is actually available through December 18th, so if you missed the Quickbooks Black Friday sale, you can still snag this amazing deal!

Social Media Tools
Tailwind
Always wanted to try Tailwind? You're in luck! This Cyber Monday they are offering a massive discount that you don’t want to miss!
On December 2nd, you'll gain access to a massive discount NEVER offered before. For one day only, you're eligible for an unbelievable $70 off the entire annual Tailwind Plus Plan.
What does this mean for you? It means a full year of the very best Pinterest and Instagram marketing tools available, while keeping some extra cash in your wallet.
Tailwind is a social media scheduling tool for both Pinterest and Instagram. On average, Tailwind members get 1.8x more likes on Instagram & 6.9x more repins on Pinterest. It grew very popular as a Pinterest scheduler but fairly recently added Instagram scheduling tools as well! And you don’t have to worry about any issues, because Tailwind is an official partner of both Pinterest and Instagram.
Girlcrush Collective receives nearly 1 million monthly viewers on Pinterest, and I credit 99% of that to Tailwind! Last year, I published a blog post about how I use Tailwind to boost my Pinterest success. You can read that post here. The post came out before Instagram was added to Tailwind, so I’ll have to update the post soon!
If you join Tailwind, we’d love to have you in our Tailwind Tribe, click here to join!
Planoly
Starting November 29 at 12 AM CST, enjoy 30% OFF any annual Planoly plan with code BLKFRIDAY30 at checkout. This deal only applies to new plans & upgrades (not applicable to active annual subscriptions), and it's only redeemable through your Planoly web dashboard, not the app (just head over to your billing info!).
You can use this promo code starting this Friday at 12 AM CST and ends on 12/2 at 11:59 PM CST!
There are tons of Instagram schedulers out there and as a social media manager, I’ve tried most of them, but I always go back to Planoly. We wrote a blog post on InstaCrush, our Instagram membership site, all about Planoly. Click here to read the post.
Here’s why I use Planoly:
Visually plan and rearrange your Instagram feed
Drag and drop feature
Draft and edit captions right in the app
Schedule posts in advance
Autopost!
Insert placeholder posts
Collaborate with team members or clients
Manage multiple accounts
View your analytics
Reply to comments in the app
Use user generated content to regram
Save hashtag groups and apply them with one tap
Plan and autopost Instagram Stories
And while Tailwind started as a Pinterest scheduler then added Instagram, Planoly started as an Instagram scheduler then added Pinterest! So personally, I use Tailwind for Pinterest and Planoly for Instagram, but as of recently, you really only need just one of the marketing tools! And I don’t think you could go wrong with either of them.
