Adobe Creative Cloud

I use an Adobe program for just about every part of my business. I honestly cannot say enough about them. From Premiere Pro for video editing, to photoshop for listing photos, to Indesign for creating planners and journals, and Illustrator for creating vector graphics for stickers, covers and more. I use Adobe for most of my work day, everyday.

It should be no surprise that I prefer Shopify when it comes to my ecommerce store. There are plenty of options out there or website hosting and builders, but when it comes to running an online store, none can beat Shopify’s features and third party apps.

Epidemic Sound

Epidemic sound is where I go for all of my video music and sound effects. They make it super easy to find what you need, and there is no need to worry about copy rights or getting demonetized by YouTube. I am sure you have heard about them from other content creators and there is a reason for that.

Silhouette Cameo 4

I personally use the Cameo 4 for cutting my stickers for my stationery business. Silhouette does make some other models that could work for you as well. I started with a Cricut and quickly switched to Silhouette for their superior software. With the Cameo 4, you can choose different settings to kiss cut the stickers on the sheet and also cut the entire sheet out at one time automatically.


Canon PIXMA G5020 Wireless MegaTank

I now have 6 of these printers. I prefer using inkjets over laser printers because of the color quality and accuracy. I use these for printing all of my stickers, planner & journal pages and covers. This printer has refillable ink tanks. You just purchase bottles of the ink and refill them. Purchasing ink for these printers is FAR CHEAPER than your typical replace cartridges.


Canon EOS R10 Mirrorless Camera

I am not going to get into all of the techy details of this camera. I must say I do really like it. It has the flip screen that is perfect for recording videos, but it also has a feature that few of the content creator cameras seem to have, and that is the view finder. I have been wanting to learn photography as a hobby and that was a feature I was looking for.


Office

I love these cubes for storing both inside and on top of. They do come in a range of sizes. You can also pick up standard cloth bins that slide right inside. I have four of these in my office. Two I use for storage and to put printers on top of. The other two I use as the base for a desk. I just purchased the top (also from Ikea) and attached it to the two units.

Y-Weave Bins From Target

I use the 9.8” x 7.5” for storing my sticker inventory. These bins are the perfect size. I have created dividers to fit right in, so I can easily find all of my stickers quickly.


Rollo Thermal Label Printer

I use the Rollo Thermal Printer for printing my shipping labels. It might be a high price tag if you are just starting out, however once you start to grow, I promise it is worth the money. This printer saves me so much time. Plus, there is no ink to worry about. Just make sure that you purchase thermal labels. Plus there are many size options if you want to use it for labeling & organization as well.
