Hacking your habits. Managing your time. Hustle. Do more. Do less. Sometimes the messages you receive as an entrepreneur can be downright contradictory. It’s no wonder, since different things work for different people. The same is true for the tech and apps we use daily, whether we are talking about managing our finances or creating a new website.

With so many options available on the market, it’s hard to know what to choose and probably end up choosing what’s more popular — but is it really working for you? Well, fret not, we’ve got your back with this handy list of great tech that can really help you with your daily tasks when creating an online course.

Some of them come in handy when you are marketing your courses, creating a landing page, researching for content, and more. Others help you manage your tasks and time in a more efficient manner so there is something for everyone on the list.

11 tools for upgrading your e-learning game as an entrepreneur

Entrepreneurs need to find the right tools to create the best online courses. Have a look at the following apps and upgrade your e-learning game:

  1. Feedly

    Feedly is a popular news aggregator that you can use on any device. With its minimalist interface and personalization options, this tool helps entrepreneurs keep up with news and content that is highly relevant to them. Bonus point: it has a free version.

  2. YNAB

    You really do need a budget. As an entrepreneur, you will have to manage your finances wisely and know exactly how much you invest in your courses versus how much you earn. YNAB helps you track expenses, set financial goals, see budgeting reports so you will have enough resources to make it all worth your while.

  3. Airtable

    The free plan has all the essential features you need to get started. Airtable is a great project management tool for organizing tasks. Most importantly, course creators can use it to plan and organize courses, from start to finish.

  4. Visme

    Online entrepreneurs can make the most out of Visme by creating an ebook that they can sell as a standalone item, as part of a course bundle, or simply offer it as a bonus for learners. Visme is also a good choice for creating presentations, infographics, and even documents.

  5. Wix

    Wix is a good option if you need a professional looking website. You don’t have to be an expert web designer as there are many templates to choose from, a flexible design system, animations, and even an app market. Plus, it has a free plan that is pretty comprehensive to begin with.

  6. Toggl

    Do you know how much time you spent creating a module or answering emails? Toggl tracks the time you spend working on your projects so you can eliminate distractions and prioritize what is truly important. It works on all of your devices and all time entries are synced between them.

  7. Grammarly

    Nobody likes going through their already published course and finding misspelled words. Grammarly was created to help you avoid this situation and improve the quality of your writing. It functions as a grammar checking, spell checking, and anti-plagiarism software. As a bonus, you can use it as a browser extension.

  8. Canva

    Canva is a graphic design tool that allows you to create your own visuals for courses, website or landing pages. It’s easy to use and you can choose from many templates and stock images that are available within their system as well as edit their own images.

  9. Hitfilm Express

    This free video editor offers great features for entrepreneurs that need to create tutorials for courses. You can even create green screen effects or add filters and layers, depending on what you want the final videos to look like.

  10. Buffer

    Buffer has a free basic plan to cover what you need at the beginning. Entrepreneurs can use it to save time on social media, schedule posts in advance and grow their brand on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more.

  11. INDIE

    INDIE is a learning management system for use by entrepreneurs that wish to market their knowledge. INDIE is a learning platform that helps individuals create, manage and sell online self-paced courses. The platform has a modern, responsive design that looks great on any mobile device.

Over to you

Although it ultimately comes down to personal preference, giving at least one of the tools a try is worth your time. Any app that can make creating courses easier is worth a try in my opinion. I personally use INDIE (obviously), Grammarly, and Toggl on a daily basis and have found it easier to manage some of my tasks.

So, are you a tech loving entrepreneur? Do you have any apps that have helped you become a better course creator/instructor?
