Canva: Images, decks and graphics

Canva is great if you’re not a designer (and honestly, even if you are – especially if you work with non-designers). There’s millions of templates, and if you work in any kind of content, you’ll want fast and easy custom images to go with it. The monthly prices are pretty affordable for small teams, and it’s a great replacement for google slides for making decks.

monday.com: Project management

monday.com is wonderful for marketing teams. If you’re a small engineering team, I’d go with Linear instead, until you need something big enough like Jira or Aha!.

In the meantime, monday.com is great for solo, small, and startup teams. The UX is friendly, for instance, copying/pasting to create multiple tickets, and automations to keep your operations running smoothly.

Semrush: SEO & Content marketing

After years of using multiple SEO programs, I recently committed to Semrush over ahrefs as my platform of choice. Position tracking is updated more often, standard features get more and more robust every day, and the insights make it easy to take action. As with any program there’s a learning curve, but if you’re working on content of any kind and want organic impact, you’ll need an organic tool to help. They have social post scheduling as well.

These are the tools the Been Remote team uses to create content, manage projects, and be productive. And sometimes not.
