Resources
Here’s a curated list of some of the best business resources for online coaches available on the internet. I use all of these in my business and love them!
Most of the links below are affiliate links meaning if you click through and decide to purchase them I receive a small commission, which does not affect the amount you pay. Of course, I only recommend products I personally love and use in my business.
Let’s go!
Basic tools for Health and Life coaches
Google Workspace
I love Google Workspace’s suite of tools for running my business. I use gmail with a domain email address, Google docs, sheets and forms and I also manage my calendar with Google Calendar. You can also use Google Meet for video calls too. It also intergrates really well with lots of other tech options. I also use Google drive for storing and sharing client resources and free resources.
Mailerlite
Mailerlite is a email service provider you can use to grow and manage an email list – which is essential when it comes to marketing your business. It has a good free plan option and is great for getting started with as a newer coach. Many of my clients use Mailerlite.
Kit
Kit (formerly Convertkit) is a slightly more advanced email service provider and is a better option than Mailerlite if you see yourself selling multiple products in your business – such as small digital offers, courses etc. It is more of a learning curve to get to grips with than Mailerlite but offers far better functionality. Kit is what I use in my business and I love it!
Canva
Canva is the best online design tool for creating marketing materials, marketing content, client resources and other free resources. I use it almost daily in my business.
Zoom
Zoom is a great online video call tool. I use it for all of my 1:1, group calls and also webinars and live trainings
Calendly
Calendly is a simple tool you can use for online scheduling allowing people to book themselves in for calls. It can be helpful in encouraging discovery call bookings and managing your diary.
Paperbell
Paperbell is a comprehensive CRM that includes online scheduling, contract management, client management, payments and even the ability to host a website. It’s a great ‘all in one’ solution for health and life coaches.
Dubsado
Dubsado is another CRM and is what I use in my business. I use it for scheduling, contract management, some 1:1 client invoicing and payments. It’s a good, more affordable option than Paperbell if you don’t require all of the features included in Paperbell.
Notion
Notion is probably my favourite tech tool of all time! It encompasses various elements you can build together to help you manage your life and business. It can be a bit of a learning curve to get started with, but it’s a wonderful tool for so many things. Check out my Notion Planning Templates to help you get started.
Advanced tools for Health and Life coaches
Thrivecart & Thrive Learn
I use Thrivecart and Thrive Learn to sell and host all of my online courses and training programmes. I particually love that you can add order bumps and upsells to their carts and that it’s a one time fee rather than a high monthly recurring expense.

LOOM
Loom enables you to create videos simply and easily from your desktop – you can create welcome videos for your clients, record your screen or use it to record videos to accompany blog posts or upload to YouTube.
Buzzsprout
I use Buzzsprout for hosting my podcast. It’s simple and straightforward to set up and gives you everything you need to manage your podcast.
Descript
Descript is the tool I use to edit my weekly multi platform show. It is simply the best audio and video editing tool I’ve used and can be used to create shorter, repurposable clips for social media too.
Hello Audio
Hello Audio is a tool that allows you to publish private podcast feeds that are exclusive to your clients and customers. I use it to deliver a private podcast feed for my group programme members in Wholehearted Business.
Convertbox
Convertbox enables you to add pop up boxes to your website in various specific ways which can help to maximise email subscriber sign ups as well as sales.
