Simply Digital crossed seven figures through five income streams: our agency work, sponsorships across 4M followers on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook, digital products sold on Teachable, Domestika and pop.store, one on one mentoring, and affiliate marketing through bestfreeaiwebsites.com and pop.store. None of that runs without the right tools behind it. Here are the 10 I open every single day.
Claude is my daily research and thinking partner. I use it to outline scripts, structure newsletters, refine offers, and work through business decisions before anything goes live. It is the tool I reach for first, before any other app on this list.
Pop.store has replaced my website, my funnels, and my course platform in one place. Instead of stitching together separate tools to sell digital products and manage checkout, it handles the entire front end of the business.
Beehiiv powers our newsletter, “Simply Hustler News of the Week.” It handles the sending, the growth tools, and the monetization side of email, which has become one of our most reliable channels for driving traffic and revenue.
VidIQ sits behind our YouTube strategy. It informs what we publish, how we title and tag videos, and where the opportunities are before we film, instead of guessing after a video underperforms.
Opus Agent is where AI agents now do work automatically for the business every day, handling repetitive tasks that used to take up hours of our time each week.
Bestfreeaiwebsites.com is one of our own affiliate marketing properties, and impact.com is the platform we use to manage those affiliate deals. Together they turn a content site into a consistent revenue stream.
Luma is our AI video generator for client and content work, used when we need visuals produced quickly without a full production setup.
CapCut is the editor behind almost every short-form video we publish across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. It is fast, it is flexible, and it fits a high-volume content schedule.
CreoAI is our AI image generator, mainly used for thumbnails. A strong thumbnail can make or break a video’s performance, so this is a tool we rely on for nearly every upload.
I go through the exact workflow for each of these tools, including how my team and I use them for content creation, email marketing, affiliate marketing, AI automation and productivity, in this video: 10 Tools I Use Daily to Build a 7 Figure Business.
