Back in April 4th, 2024, I launched Toolfolio with a simple goal:

To create a space where online creators and entrepreneurs could discover the most useful tools to bring their ideas to life.

It started as a small project fueled by passion, but it’s grown beyond anything I’d expected.

Fast forward to November, and Toolfolio reached a new high — 36,000 visitors, from across the globe, in a single month.

Even more exciting? It’s all been completely organic. No paid ads. Just the power of community, quality content, and the drive to help people like you find the right tools.

This experience has taught me something:

Spend Time learning new tools and how to utilize them in what you’re passionate about!

The right tools can be game-changers!

Why Learning New Tools is Essential

When you're building an online business, your ideas are only as strong as your ability to execute them. The right tools help you work smarter, not harder. They streamline workflows, unlock creativity, and save you hours of frustration.

Most importantly, they fill gap in our knowledge to execute

Everything I have done so far with Toolfolio was because I dedicated time to learning.

My college degree was in Advertising (I learned more in two months on YouTube)

YouTube, Forums, Courses, Reading, Social Media etc.

But here’s the thing — knowing which tools to master can feel overwhelming. So I’ve narrowed it down to 5 (plus a bonus) that I’ve seen creators, founders, and online entrepreneurs use to truly level up, including myself.

5 Game-Changing Tools Worth Mastering

1. Make (formerly Integromat) — Automate everything. From scheduling social posts to syncing databases, Make turns manual tasks into "set-it-and-forget-it" workflows.

Its like coding, but without having to spend months or even years learning

Here’s how I use it:

• I struggled going through Tool Suggestions as I receive 300-500 a month

• I created an automation in make in which every time someone submits a New tool Suggestion, a ChatGPT assistant will take a look and create a summary of what this tools is.

• this helps me understand which Tools are a great fit for Toolfolio

• (I curate everything myself to make sure I’m recommending quality tools!)

• This is only 1/20+ of the automations I created and plan on creating more in 2025

I wrote an article about three automations from beginner difficulty to intermediate! -read here

2. Jitter — Want to create eye-catching animations for your product, site, or social media? Jitter makes motion design accessible — no animation degree required.

If you’ve heard about Adobe After Effects, you also probably have heard that its super difficult to master.

this is where jitter comes in.

it makes it super easy to create Motion Graphics

2 hours is all you need in my opinion, even as a complete beginner

Here’s their Youtube Channel with a lot of Tutorials —> https://www.youtube.com/c/jittervideo

3. Framer (or Webflow) — Build stunning, responsive websites visually. Whether it’s Framer’s intuitive interactions or Webflow’s raw power, both help you build professional sites without touching code.

If you’re looking to build websites either for your business or maybe your family’s business, then this is for you!

If you’ve never had any experience with building websites, I’d recommend starting with Framer, its much easier of a learning curve and has everything you need to design, Integrate and publish all from the same place!

Already have experience building Websites? Webflow might be a better option for you! Plus, Webflow is more powerful when it comes to building more dynamic sites that pull data from multiple sources.

4. Replo — Create and customize e-commerce landing pages with speed. If you’re running an online store, this tool can help you test ideas fast.

A lot of you may have tried e-commerce before with Shopify.

I know I did back in 2015

and my biggest pet peeve with Shopify was the lack of control you had over the design.

Replo fixes that with a Framer/Webflow look-alike editor, it’s super easy to create a fully customized design for your e-commerce store!

5. Airtable — More than just a database, Airtable helps you organize, track, and visualize data for content calendars, project management, and more. It’s like Excel on steroids.

Think Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets but much more powerful!

I cannot stress enough how good Airtable is!

You can Automate your data within Airtable, you can create forms to share with people that update your database, Create Dashboard based on your data so you can easily share with clients, you can connect it to your website to not only receive dat, but also update data.

I need a whole email just to talk about Airtable.

just trust me, replace excel or sheets with Airtable and thank em later.

Also, here’s a tip:

Use Make & Airtable together, thank me later!
