7+ Online Business Tools to Improve Productivity

Running a business is tough, and you’re no doubt short on time, money, and hands-on-deck.

Luckily, there are a TON of resources to help you ramp up productivity and take back your time.

At Repurpose House, we use a variety of online business tools that have made our lives WAY easier.  We’re sharing some insider info with you today in hopes that it makes your lives easier as well! 

1. Content Cucumber 

Struggling to write blog posts consistently? Content Cucumber is an AWESOME service that pairs you with a writer.

For a flat monthly fee, you can submit any topic you need to be written. Depending on the required length, your blog post will be ready the next business day.

We use this service for a lot of our blog posts, and it’s been a total gamechanger for our content marketing strategy.

They also do way more than just blog posts. They write social media copy, email newsletters, and just about anything copy-related you can dream of.

Use code “REPURPOSEHOUSE30” for $30 off your first month!

2. Agorapulse

We’re huge fans of scheduling your social media. It keeps your posting schedule consistent (which is HUGE if you want to get on the good side of a platform’s algorithm!), and it frees up so much of your time.

Personally, we use Agorapulse for all of our social scheduling needs, and we love it. Not only does it offer a user-friendly scheduling tool, but it lets you practice social listening (which is KEY to a successful social media strategy!).

3. Wave.video

Video performs the best by far across all social media platforms. We encourage you to repurpose any content you have into video…and that includes written content.

With Wave.video, you can turn your blog posts into engaging text-motion videos. With this program, you overlay text from your blog post on videos and moving images.

They offer a ton of great stock footage and music to choose from…and the best part? It’s FREE.

4. Gmelius

Gmelius is a super cool email tracking software that lets you see:

• If someone has opened your email
• How many times they’ve opened it
• What they’ve clicked

With way more information about our email campaign and cold outreach email performances, our sales process is more efficient and streamlined than ever before.

5. Ontraport

Creating strong, consistent relationships with your customers is extremely important to the success of your business. The best way to maintain those relationships in an organized way is with a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool.

Ontraport has been great for us because it offers all the functionality we need in one convenient place. We use it for almost everything we do, including:

• Campaign drips
• Deal management
• Email marketing
• Landing pages

6. Flowster

The #1 way to improve your company’s operations is to document your workflows. Having Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in place makes every aspect of your business run smoother: from onboarding to customer service.

We use Flowster to document all of our company workflows, from our sales process to our employee training.

It’s an integral piece of how we’ve built a successful remote business with less than 7% employee turnover. 

7. Ziotag

Ziotag is an AI-powered video player that has made our content curation process WAY more efficient.

You upload your video to Ziotag’s player, and, not only does it provide you a high-quality transcription of your video, but it also produces clickable timestamps to all the talking points of your video. And it does this automatically!

This makes every word in your videos searchable through a search engine and more engaging because viewers can click to the exact section they need.

We love this tool for content curation because it uses AI to find the impactful moments of your video. This makes it easy to find clips to repurpose.

8. Teamwork

Communication is one of the best ways to make a company more efficient, especially a remote company.

We love Teamwork for our internal communication. Not only does it offer an easy chat platform (similar to Slack), but it also doubles as a project management tool! We collaborate on projects, keep track of all our time-sensitive tasks, and quickly ask questions all within the same platform.
