The tools I use as a solo founder

Hi IH,

Last year I left my job to go full time on my startup. During the last year, I have used lots of tools and some of them are pretty good but I still use them on daily basis.

I thought of sharing my tools with you hoping it will help and also to learn more about other tools that I might be missing.

None of the following links are affiliates, I genuinely appreciate these tools and products.

Let's start:

Design

Canva

I used Canva for all my posts, especially on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is my main marketing channel as I am in the B2B space.

SEO

1. Ahrefs
2. SERanking
3. Keywords Everywhere - chrome extension.
4. SimilarWeb - I use the chrome extension.
5. SpamZilla

CRM

HubSpot
The great thing about HubSpot is having multiple tools in one. CRM, Forms, Newsletter, ... etc. And for the startup plan, you can get it at a 90% discount.
