Welcome to the MyHomeIsMyOffice.co.uk Business Resources page.
A selection of carefully chosen products, services and websites that I have tested personally and allow me and the businesses I own to either work more efficiently, generate sales or make life easier.
Many of the services listed here below are crucial to the running of my business and play a part in the success of where they are today.
Business Resources – Software
Microsoft Office 365
This deserves to be first on the list for many reasons. First off because of the incredible apps that this subscription provides for under £10 per month (exc. VAT).
Whether you’re a one-man band or a multi-national with thousands of employees, there is something for everyone.
From Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Outlook. To Teams, Yammer & the storage solutions all thrown in, it really is a must have for any business.
HubSpot – Free CRM
I initially used HubSpot’s Free CRM as a stand-alone product for about 6 months, as it provided me with everything I needed to manage both my contacts and also my sales pipeline for a consultancy business.
However, I since upgraded to take advantage of their unbelievable Marketing & Sales features and whilst not cheap at about £92 a month, the value this brings my team and I, far outweighs the cost.
Update: They have reduced their monthly fee to £42 for the Growth Starter Package as a result of Covid-19.
SEMRush – SEO & Keyword Software
If you’re serious about having an online presence for your business, then SEMRush should be your best friend.
When I first started this site, I would think of topics to write about and off I would go, with very little traction. After very little success, an SEO friend of mine sent me a link to a ‘Content Marketing Checklist‘, which was put together by these guys, and it completely changed the game.
Even if you don’t sign up to SEMRush, I highly recommend you take advantage of their free resources. Alternatively, check out the post I did on the Top 6 Free Marketing Tools, which I think you will find useful.
