The 15 Best Websites for Founders

5/23/2017

Comments

 
Back in September 2014, it was estimated that there are now over one billion internet sites on the internet, keeping that number enhancing every second. ​

It's harder than ever to actually find the exact tool you need because so many tools do many different things and the small tool that you're looking for is beat by it's competition that does a better job at SEO. 

So sad.  But fear not, here's a really powerful list...

Luckily, the below features 15 websites you could make use of for virtually any type of creative task, intellectual research or business process and tasks.

Have a look at the below and also let us learn about any terrific source websites that you make use of.

Top 15 websites for founders and entrepreneurs:

  1. Online Jobs:  Best place to find long-term virtual assistants. I've worked with some for 3+ years. Today, Handshakin consists of me, and 5 long-term VAs. It's only for Philippines and I highly recommend.  

  2. Freshbooks:  Accounting and invoicing software that integrates with lots of other popular apps.  I use this to collect rent on my rentals, and charge our monthly clients here at Handshakin.

  3. Weebly:  You've probably heard of it, it's the best drag and drop website builder that doesn't hamper you from doing SEO the right way later down the road.  Handshakin is built on Weebly. 

  4. Acuity Scheduling:  My favorite scheduling that I've used when scheduling with clients, friends, and leads.  I also bought schedulematt.com and forward it to a page on my site where I embedded Acuity. 
    ​
  5. Boomerang for Gmail:  Absolutely 110% necessary for startups under 3-5 team members.  Helps you 'boomerang' emails back to your inbox in 2 weeks as a reminder, or send it in a few hours and have it boomerang back only if the other person doesn't respond. 



  6. TheHoth:  The best a-la-carte site for SEO services you'll find.  From getting an interview on entrepreneur.com (if you're not a contributor ;) ) to spending $50 to boost one of your landing pages' rank.

  7. Fiverr:  Fiverr is a place to buy online services for $5.  But, it's also a good tool to offer a cheap gig, to later convert customers into higher dollar clients.

  8. These Bluetooth Headphones with Microphone:  Pretty straightforward, great for travel, as well as a dope battery life and audio quality.  And yes, not a website, sorry.

  9. Arkon Mounts:  Best mounts for live broadcasting.  My favorite today is Facebook Live.  Add me here to check out one of my next broadcasts. Use promo code 'handshakin' for 20% off. 

  10. 99 Designs:  High quality logo/brand design contest software.  Enough said.

  11. Instant Domain Search:  helps you search for domain names for your startup as you type.  Much faster than a GoDaddy, etc.

  12. FaxZero:  Send an online fax for free.  This had been a life saver for me during my first residential real estate investment company, being a online entrepreneur in a old fashioned industry.
  13. Unsplash:  See the image of this blog post?  I downloaded it as a stock image for free, and have used these guys weekly for my blog posts for years. 

  14. Canva:  For all the people who struggle with design as much as I do, these guys can really help you out before you hire a designer virtual assistant or design firm. 

  15. Docusign:  The easiest tool to send forms for clients/tenants to e-sign, as well as upload attachments that you need to sign and send back to the sender

And there you have it.  Comment below if I missed any!  Or sign up for a 20 min consultation to learn how I can help you implement and use these tools to increase your bottom line.
