Project management tools such as Trello, Asana, and even Google Drive are excellent places to keep all of your project information in one place so that everyone on your team has access to everything they need when they need it, and can access files and information when they need to without relying on people getting back to them and back and forth emails all the time. Whether it’s keeping things like your monthly marketing calendar in a place where everyone has access to it, or managing the information for your next launch, then having a project management tool is really going to help you stay on track.

Collaboration tool:

When running an online business and working with people remotely, then having a way to collaborate with each other is going to be crucial to keeping things organized and running efficiently, so using something like Slack, for example is going to make things go a lot faster than waiting on phone calls or sending back and forth emails all the time.

Cloud storage tool:

Cloud storage is pretty much a must nowadays – especially for online business owners, and whilst there are many Cloud Services out there to choose from, there aren’t really any that are better than others, but some will for example offer more options such as more space or more users that can be added, so it really is just about finding one that works for your business, so you should have a look online to see what one will suit you best. The great thing about cloud storage is that you, not only have instant access to all your documents and don’t have to worry about things getting deleted or lost should your computer crash or break, but you can also save a lot more space on your computer by using cloud storage.

Automation tool:

Automation in your online business is key for keeping things running smoothly and keeping thing organized so that if you don’t have to be doing a specific task or aren’t able to – or even if you want to take a day off, then your business won’t stop running just because you’re not physically doing these tasks. You can use automation tools for email marketing and social media to schedule things in advance, or you can also use things like Zapier and IFTTT to keep all of your apps, tools and automations running together and connected to each other so that everything will run efficiently.
