At Radiant, we know that small is mighty. It is totally possible to run a successful small business with killer efficiency and an incredible marketing strategy, and not break the bank while you’re doing it. Here are the small business solutions you need to have an impact at any size.

4 Small Business Solutions for Marketing and More

One: TSheets for Managing Your Virtual Team’s Time

Did you know that Radiant is almost an entirely virtual operation? We’re pretty lucky–with staff spread out across the Valley (plus me, I’m in NYC!), we rely on TSheets to manage our time and make sure that everyone gets paid. TSheets allows the entire Radiant team to clock in and out with just one click no matter where we are, and to keep detailed records of how we are spending our time across clients. TSheets connects easily to your existing payroll software and allows you to approve employee time from virtually anywhere in the world with their super user-friendly mobile app.

Two: Canva for Social Media

Canva rules! This intuitive and free graphic design tool is a great small business solutions for those who can’t afford to invest in an on-staff graphic designer or more expensive design tools like the Adobe Creative Cloud. Canva has a huge library of free fonts, illustrations, templates, and images for you to use to make your small business’s visual presence stand out from the crowd. You can create professional visual content for a wide variety of uses, from print collateral to social media images.

Three: TeuxDeux for Time Management

Because we are working with many clients, managing our many to-do lists is critical. We love TeuxDeux, a bare-bones time management app that works across multiple platforms (so we can take our lists on the road when there are team meetings or client presentations!) TeuxDeux is a great option to help you get things done and keep you organized.

Four: HubSpot Blog Topic Generator

We’ll talk about HubSpot until we are blue in the face. We love them for their many useful marketing automation features, their free resources for small business owners like us, and much more. However, perhaps the most underrated tool in their arsenal is the HubSpot Blog Topic Generator. In a world where content is king, it’s easy to get stuck on what to create next. The generator allows you to explore keywords and translate it into quality content, ensuring that you are always providing fresh, helpful content for your audience!

And there you have it. These are some of the tools that we depend on here at Radiant. No matter your budget, they can help you take your business to the next level and give you the extra star-power you need to succeed.
