10 Automation Tools You Should Be Using

Automation tools are too hard to learn.

Automation tools cost too much.

I will lose the personal touch that built my business.

I've heard all the excuses when it comes to not using automation.

I get it.

It's one more thing to learn.

But, we're living in the age of the Jetsons and you're doing waaaay too much grunt work.

Here's what I know:

• If it's repetitive and someone else can do it, it's ripe for automation.
• Automation isn’t about replacing humans; it’s about enhancing human potential and freeing us for higher-level tasks.
• The right tech stack can be the difference between feeling swamped and sailing smoothly.

And better yet, here's 10 categories you should be starting with along with easy automation tools you can start using today.

1. Cloud Storage - Mentioned as a place where team members can access data, with Google Drive suggested as an example.
2. Content Creation Tools - Canva, Descript, Midjourney, and various AI tools like ChatGPT are mentioned for creating different types of content.
3. Social Media Scheduling Tools - Buffer, MetriCool, and Hootsuite are mentioned for scheduling content on social media.
4. Website Builders - Squarespace and Wix are mentioned as easy-to-use tools for creating websites.
