tools, tech, training and other goodies for freelance marketers
hello!
We're the two lauras
Marketers, podcasters, writers, trainers and determined business owners.
And we're obsessed with helping freelance social media marketers to grow a business they love... without being glued to their phone!
We wanted to give you a place to find all our favourite tools and resources. We've tried and tested all of them so you don't have to!
Disclaimer: Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means we might earn a small commission if you love something as much as we do... which is great because we would have shared them with you anyway!
Unlike some contracts that are long, confusing and generic, our favourite legal templates are designed specifically for freelance marketers and only contain what you need to protect yourself and your business.
Tonic's line of completely customizable site templates for modern, stylish creatives are basically website templates for people who think they don't like website templates.
They make beautiful design affordable, accessible to everyone — no code, no tears, no limits. And there's a fun twist: all of their site designs are inspired by cocktails!
Agorapulse is brilliant for social listening, reporting and, of course, scheduling. You can take a free trial run for a full two months below.
Metricool is a big favourite with our Inner Hub® members and we agree. The scheduling tool and analytics are great for managing multiple platforms.
If you like our website you will LOVE the Tonic shop Canva templates. You can get 15% discount off their whole site with code THETWOLAURAS15
Some of our best performing posts have been created with Your Template Club's Canva templates and they're great for clients too.
If you manage Instagram then you'll love Flick where you can find, manage and analyse hashtags for Instagram.
There's not a day that goes by without us heading into Canva to create something for a social media platform! Their pro plan is worth every single penny.
If you offer any training in your business you'll need somewhere reliable and secure to host your video, audio and written content. We are big Searchie geeks fans and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to ensure their content is easy to consume regardless of people's needs or learning styles.
We tried a few but this one is great, and podcast editor approved!
We're always asked about the tools and tech we use in our business. This is what you'll find on our desks and else where in our company!
All our podcasts are recorded in Riverside which we highly rate.
Perfect for sharing video or audio content with paying customers.
In our minds, this is one of the best organisational tools out there!
We organise our whole lives in Asana! If it's not in there it's not getting done!
We use this to edit all our videos - and automatically remove all the umms!
We've used Activecampaign to send emails to our lovely subscribers for years - it's the best!
You know those forms that pop-up so you can grab our free resources? They're created with this fab tool!
We use this to get all our biz tools to talk to each other so we can automate more!
A lot of the photos we use are from the Social Curator membership. If you need stock images we'd highly recommend this.
The Relaxed Business Owners Guide To Building A Profitable Email List by Amy Porterfield is FREE and worth a watch!
If you want to learn about Google Ads, Kaity Griffin is the best person to learn from.
