1) Asana

Our all-in-one platform for project and task management. Asana makes it easy for us to track our work and saves us a ton of time. Also, sometimes when you check off a task, a unicorn (or another mythical creature) shoots rainbows across your screen. That makes you feel pretty good.

Copyblogger will show you how to get your message out using content marketing. It’s a great blog for people just starting with content marketing and has some great tips for experienced marketers as well.

Quicksprout’s blog is all about how to create great content and Neil Patel is definitely a master of content.

IMScalable is the cream of the crop when it comes to media buying resources. Justin Brooke and his team are extremely talented and are always on the cutting edge of their field.

Customer support software so you and your customers all stay happy.

20) Buffer

Buffer is our current favorite social media scheduling and reporting tool; I use the Chrome plugin for scheduling multiple times a day. I also love their corporate blog since it focuses a lot on their unique company culture, which is another one of my professional passions.

Warrior Forum is a great place for copywriters and internet marketers to share ideas, concepts, get help, give help, and grow faster.
