5 Digital Tools That Make Life Easier for Small Creators & Personal Brands

5 Digital Tools That Make Life Easier for Small Creators & Personal Brands

Running a personal brand is a full-time job — content, strategy, marketing, community… it’s a lot. And if you’re doing it solo, it can feel overwhelming fast.

I know that feeling because I’ve lived it. That’s why I’m always on the hunt for digital tools that save time, reduce stress, and help creators like you stay in flow.

Today, I’m sharing 5 of my favorite tools that make life easier when you're building your brand online — especially if you're still a team of one.

1. Canva (Design Anything Beautiful, Fast)

Canva is my design ride-or-die. You can create Instagram graphics, product mockups, brand boards, planners — everything — without needing a design degree.

💡 Pro Tip: Use Canva folders to organize your brand content and reuse templates.
🛍 Try using it to preview or style your own content kits like I do in 2 Hearts Style Studio!

2. Later or Meta Business Suite (Content Scheduling)

Batch your content once a week and schedule it — so you’re not stuck posting every single day.

Later is great for Instagram/TikTok visuals. Meta Business Suite is free and perfect for Facebook & IG posts if you’re on a budget.

💡 Pro Tip: Use your Social Glow-Up Kit to plan what to post, then use these tools to automate when it goes out.

3. Milkshake App (Quick Brand Website or Link in Bio)

If you don’t have a website yet, Milkshake gives you a beautifully branded “mini site” in your bio. Great for sharing links, launches, and even freebies.

💡 Pro Tip: Match your Milkshake page design to your brand aesthetic. It builds trust and looks cute.

4. Trello or Notion (Organize Ideas & Projects)

When you have 10 tabs open in your brain, use a project board. I like Trello for quick visuals and Notion when I need depth.

💡 Pro Tip: Use it to track ideas, collaborations, or brand goals — and link it to your content calendar.

5. The Social Glow-Up Kit (Your Personal Brand Strategy Companion)

Yes, this is my own digital product — but I made it because I needed it too.

If you need a place to plan your brand, track ideas, write captions, map content, and stay inspired — all in one beautiful space — this kit was made for you.

💡 Pro Tip: Use it weekly to stay consistent without reinventing the wheel every month.

Final Thoughts

There are a ton of tools out there — but these are the ones I reach for over and over to stay focused, consistent, and in love with the work.

You don’t need to be perfect or polished to show up like a pro. With the right tools and a little support, you’re already on your way.
