I recently hosted a Mompreneur Meetup at Kidville and we had a great turnout of mompreneurs from a variety of industries including photography, real estate, retail, and web design.  During our meetup attendees shared several excellent recommendations on apps, websites, and tools that they find useful in running their business.  I’ve included a recap of some of my favorite recommendations below:

Netted By The Webbys – a daily email that covers interesting things online that will make your life better. Each day in your inbox you will receive a new app, website or online tool recommendation.  I’m sure this will lead to some of my future Tips&Tools posts!

Genius Scan – this FREE app allows you to take pictures on your phone and scan them as jpeg or pdf documents.  You no longer need a fax machine or scanner.  This is great for documents but also great for taking pics of expense receipts so you don’t have to continue to collect.

Fast Customer– Use this app to never sit on hold again.  You enter in the company you would like to speak to and you receive a call when an agent from that company is ready to speak with you.  Sounds too good to be true, but one mompreneur from our meeting has used it several times and says she has received a call back every time! Will definitely be trying this out the next time I have to call Verizon!

Pic Monkey – FREE online photo editor that allows you to touch up pictures, add text, build collages. Great resource for creating images and/or pictures for social media and marketing collateral.
