Business Tools

CANVA: My #1 Tool For Instagram Graphics

I wouldn’t last a day in my business without this one. I use Canva for everything from IG graphics to business cards and stock photos—it’s a lifesaver. IMO it totally pays to upgrade to the Pro version because there’s nothing worse than finding the perfect template and then realizing it’s only available to Pro members (and I’ve been there)!

Not to mention, there’s a Magic Resize tool where you can design, say, an IG graphic and then turn it into the proper dimensions for a Pinterest pin in literally one click. #mindblown

On top of all that, the Pro version comes with a free social media scheduling tool where you can literally post to IG, FB, and Pinterest straight from Canva.

GRAMMARLY: My Top Tool for Error-Free Writing

I’m a good enough writer that people actually PAY me to write, and even I don’t write without Grammarly anymore.

I use the Premium version because, in addition to simple spelling and grammar faux pas, Grammarly scans my writing for tone, readability, wording, and consistency. There’s even a new tool that scans your text for inclusive language!

I have the browser extension too, which means I can turn it on and check my work no matter which app or website I’m using.

10/10 recommend!

GOOGLE WORKSPACE: My Top Storage Solution

Did you know that when you sign up for a Google Workspace account, you get a custom email address that’s tied to your domain name (e.g. hello@katiegrayofficial.com) and 30 GB – 2 TB storage in your Google Drive?

THAT’S A LOT OF FILES.

As in, cancel all your other paid storage plans (like iCloud or Verizon or whatever) and move that shit into your Workspace.

And hey—even though it’s for business, you can put personal files and pics in there, too, because nobody checks!

WORDPRESS: The G.O.A.T of Website Platforms

I don’t care if you’re a blogger or a hairstylist: YA NEED A WEBSITE.

It doesn’t have to be complicated or fancy, but it does have to be well-designed, easy to read on laptops *and* phones, and simple to work with.

By far, the most adaptable platform for websites is WordPress, which is why it’s the only one I’ll use. I’ve built several sites with WordPress now, and I’m a HUGE fan.

Plus: when you’re tinkering around with your site and you mess something up (and you will), their customer service is super helpful and kind.

EXCITING NEWS! Doors to The YES SUPPLY Method Certification Program are OPEN! 

This is by far the best coaching certification I’ve ever come across. The YES SUPPLY Method totally transformed my mindset, my life and my business. 

I can’t tell what I loved more: 

  • The value-filled course lessons that had me glued to my screen and filling all my journals with notes, 
  • The live call component where I got direct access to the YES SUPPLY Trainers to practice the techniques, get evaluated on my skills and ask all of my burning questions, or
  • The bonuses that really helped me attract my dream clients and propel my business growth.  

Wow. 

Just thinking back to where I was before I started the program makes me wonder how I’d ever get to where I am now. 

If I hadn’t taken the leap and signed up for coach certification through YES SUPPLY, I know I wouldn’t have the thriving coaching business I have today.

I’d love for you to have that experience, too.

Click below to get all the course modules plus live calls and direct access to the YES SUPPLY Trainer team.

You won’t be sorry.
