Starting a side hustle or your full-time business can be daunting. Here are some things every solo entrepreneur needs.
Website
How will people contact you or learn more about what you offer? This is yours and can be tailored for specific things. You don’t own the social media platforms but just use their space. Use that to drive traffic to your website where they can take action.
Online Scheduling
Give the power to your clients/leads. Let them choose a date and time based on your availability. It will save you hours of back and forth trying to find a time that works. Time is valuable in the Solo Entrepreneur life.
Online Payment Options
You want to get paid right? Make it easy for clients to do that. From Square to Paypal, and even Quickbooks there are many ways to offer this. There will be a fee to use those features so make sure you are accounting for that in your pricing model.
Digital Contract/Document Completion
From a formal quote to a contract, or questionnaire. Some industries require these and in others, it is highly suggested. A way to keep things buttoned up so there are no miscommunications and so you can hold your boundaries with expectations. A platform that is secure and easy to use. No more printing, scanning, emailing, or mailing back to you.
Client/Project Management Platform
This can be a CRM (Client Relationship Management). Some features that will streamline your work are workflows, automation, templates, and tracking.
You can piecemeal these to different apps or platforms but that can be daunting with so many places to go.
