Every website needs terms & conditions and privacy policy to be compliant with internet laws. And contrary to popular belief, I do not write either for the website projects I create. In order to do that, I’d have to be a lawyer — I am not one, nor do I plan to be. But Jaime, over at The Contracts Market, is and she’s created the terms and privacy policies you need for your website.
website terms & privacy policycontracts & agreementsIf you’re an independent contractor, coach, or copywriter, you’ll be thankful for having a contract in place if anything ever goes astray. And since you can’t predict unhappy customers, you might as well have a contract to protect you and your business.

I know everyone loves free stuff, too.
All the tools I personally use in my business with free and paid versions available.
UbersuggestUbersuggest is an SEO tool that helps you get found on Google. It offers keyword research, competitive analysis, backlink tracking, and website audits. It has a free and paid version. Since my business is intimately connected with SEO, I paid for one of the lifetime membership options, and I’d recommend it to any business looking to optimize their online presence.
canvaThe free version of Canva has everything you need to get started on creating beautifully designed graphics. I certainly used it for free for years, and I put off buying the Pro version simply because I could. But let me just say, I finally purchased Canva Pro this year for my business and I am literally never going back.
notionWhile I use Google Docs for all my client-facing work, I use Notion to keep track of all my content creation across my website and social media platforms. I love it because you can organize your life, customize everything, and build automations. I even still use the free version after years on the platform (the free version has everything you need).
Google workspaceIt may a “boring” business tool but it’s honestly the easiest to work with especially if you’re having clients review your work (like I do for my copywriting). I bought the higher tier of Google Workspace just so I could record my calls and use its transcript capabilities, too.
togglWhen I tell you there’s no other business tool that changed my life more than this tool, I mean it. Toggl is a time-tracking app and I use it literally every time I open my laptop. It has given me a tangible look at what I’m spending time on, and most importantly, helps me stay focused so I never mess up my stats. ;)
unsplashWhenever I’m looking for polished stock photos, I check Unsplash first, and if you have a Squarespace or Wix website then you already have free access to the site.
GRAMMARLYThe only spellchecker I’ll ever use — Grammarly is a writing assistant tool that helps you improve your grammar, spelling, and style by offering real-time suggestions and corrections. It’s perfect for polishing emails, documents, and social media posts, ensuring your writing is clear and professional.
TAILWINDI’ll be honest — I’m a die hard Pinterest girlie through and through. Tailwind, of course, is the only pinning app you need. Start with the free version and upgrade to the paid version when you’re ready to automate all things Pinterest-related.
