Way to send video files

WeTransfer is great if you’re only needing to send a file that is under 2 GB.

Frame.io is hands down the fastest file transfer website. It was made for creatives to share footage and also have review capabilities for giving time stamped notes. This is SUPER valuable if working with an outsourcer.

Google Drive & Dropbox are always an option as well. Their bulk download feature is great, but their upload rates are atrocious (aka prepare to leave your computer running overnight when uploading large files.

EDITING Software

I use Premiere Pro for editing, Adobe Audition for audio editing and After Effects for motion graphics.

To get the most of my free and paid trainings, you’ll need the full Adobe Creative Cloud Suite.

Note: Know any students? Use their email to get a significant discount! Just make sure they won’t need the service themselves.

EMAIL SOFTWARE

ActiveCampaign is hands down the best platform out there. No further research required.

Online Course Platform

I use Kajabi for the back-end of my online courses. Use my link and get an extended trial period for 28 days!

Robust Online Checkout Platform

SamCart is an incredibly powerful landing page builder + checkout system that allows you to offer payment plans, subscriptions, upsells, downsells, etc.

music & Stock Footage

Artlist.io is a subscription site that is AWESOME for unlimited downloads of copyright free music.

Artgrid.io is an epic site with high quality stock footage that does not look like your standard stock footage. You’ll love it!

Keyword Research Tools

TubeBuddy is my go-to tool for determining what the title of my video should be and what tags I’ll use to get that video ranked.

Keywords Everywhere is an extension that allows you to see the search volume for each keyword that you type in so you know if people are even searching for that term.

The combination of these two tools is all you need to do proper keyword research to get your videos ranks!
