Business resources for creatives
Just so you know, some of the links below are affiliate links meaning I make a small commission when you buy stuff using these links. You don't get charged any more so it won't make a difference to you, all it does is put a tiny bit extra money in my pocket so I can buy more toys for my already very spoiled pup :)
Here's all my favourite tools & resources (only stuff I've actually tried and like!)
Studio Ninja
I use Studio Ninja as my CRM and it’s honestly changed the way I run my business. I always joke that my business 'kinda runs itself' and it's 100% thanks to Studio Ninja and the workflows and automations I have set up that do most of the work for me.
It does pretty much everything including contracts, invoices, client portal, online booking calendar, analytics etc. I love that everything is in one place for me and my clients, and I’ve had loads of clients tell me they were super impressed with how easy it was to book!
You can try Studio Ninja for free and get 50% off your first year if you use the code LUCYMCREATIVE
SOftwares & apps
Showit
Showit is a fully drag and drop website builder that gives you full creative freedom over the layout and design of your website, all without a single line of code.
Oh and it also hosts your website! All you need is a domain name and Showit does the rest.
They have an amazing help section with tons of step by step guides to help you design your dream website, and the Showit staff is super helpful and always ready to help.

Pic-Time
Probably the best gallery provider on the market for Photographers!
They offer unlimited storage so you don't to worry about having to pay extra as you add more and more galleries, and they have an amazing automated sales system that can help you sell lots of prints without lifting a finger (just need to set it up of course!)

Quickbooks
I use Quickbooks for my bookeeping, it syncs with Studio Ninja which is great, there's a phone app that can track your mileage for you and most if not every accountants will know how to use it!
