GoHighLevel
My #1 ToolThe all-in-one platform that runs my SaaS business
From $97/month
14-day free trial
About this tool
GoHighLevel is the backbone of my solopreneur operation. CRM, email marketing, SMS, sales funnels, appointment scheduling, and a white-label SaaS platform — all in one subscription. I use it every single day to manage client pipelines and run automated follow-up sequences.
How I use it
I use GHL to manage my entire client pipeline, send automated follow-up emails, and run the SaaS product I resell to clients in Panama and Central America.
Pros
- Replaces 8–10 separate tools
- White-label SaaS reselling built in
- Powerful automation workflows
- Excellent support community
Cons
- Steep learning curve
- No free tier after trial
Affiliate link — I earn 40% recurring commission if you sign up.
Systeme.io
Best ValueThe most affordable all-in-one platform for beginners
Free — $97/month
Free plan (2,000 contacts, 3 funnels)
About this tool
Systeme.io packs email marketing, sales funnels, online courses, affiliate management, and a website builder into one platform for a fraction of what competitors charge. The free plan is genuinely useful — not a crippled demo. I recommend it to solopreneurs who are just starting out and cannot yet justify GoHighLevel.
How I use it
I use Systeme.io as my recommended starting platform for clients who are new to online business and need a simple, affordable way to launch their first funnel and email list.
Pros
- Generous free plan
- Covers funnels, email, courses, and affiliates
- No credit card required for free tier
- Simple interface — beginner-friendly
Cons
- Less powerful than GHL at scale
- Limited integrations
Affiliate link — I earn 60% lifetime recurring commission if you sign up.
Beehiiv

About this tool
Beehiiv is where I write and send this newsletter every Tuesday. It is built specifically for newsletter creators — not repurposed from a generic email marketing tool. The free plan supports up to 2,500 subscribers, and the built-in monetization features (ad network, paid subscriptions, referral program) are genuinely useful from day one.

Pros
- Built for newsletter creators
- Free plan up to 2,500 subscribers
- Built-in referral program
- Ad network monetization from day one

Amazon
Books & GearBooks, gear, and home office equipment I personally use
Varies by product
About this tool
I have spent 30 years in operations and logistics, and I have learned that the right physical tools matter as much as software. My Amazon recommendations cover the books that shaped my thinking, the home office gear I use daily, and the productivity equipment that makes remote work sustainable.

I use Amazon to source my home office setup, buy the business books I review in the newsletter, and find ergonomic gear for long working days from my office in Panama City.
Pros
- Huge selection of business books
- Home office gear with fast shipping
- Trusted reviews from verified buyers
- Easy returns policy
Cons
- Rates vary by category
- Cookie window is 24 hours only
