Below are five tools I use daily to keep my (mostly) online business up and running smoothly, and accessible worldwide!
1. Wise
- Easily send or receive money in 40 different currencies (USD, EURO, GBP, etc)
- Available in 160 countries
- Spend your funds, or cash them at an ATM, using a Wise debit card with no markups or transaction fees
2. World Time Buddy
- Quickly convert times across multiple time zones and countries
- Search by time zone or city / location
- Create a custom link to send to friends or colleagues to coordinate meeting times
- Embed it as a widget on your website for easy reference
- Download the World Time Buddy app on your phone for quick access
3. Zoom
Okay, this one is obvious—but VERY important if you want to be able to conduct meetings across the world.
The free version of Zoom includes:
- Up to 40 minutes per meeting
- 100 Attendees per meeting
- Other tools such as: Whiteboard Basic, Team Chat, Mail & Calendar, Clips Basic, and Notes
4. Calendly
The free version of Calendly includes:
- Allow users to select meetings on their preferred day and time zone—no back and forth trying to compare schedules
- Sync your existing calendar (Google, Microsoft 365, Outlook, iCloud, etc)
- Integrates with Zoom to automatically create meeting links
- Automate event notifications for all participants
- Embed Calendly on your website
5. GTranslate WordPress Plugin
GTranslate will translate your website and make it multilingual. It will help you to increase international traffic, reach a global audience and explore new markets.
In the bottom right of this page, you can test it out for yourself!
The free version of GTranslate includes:
- ALL languages
- Automatic translation
- Unlimited words and pageviews
- Customize sizing and placement of the widget
It’s worth considering the paid version too: GTranslate hosts the translated versions of your website on their cloud network under a language specific domain. In that case, every language will have a separate domain and be indexed in search engines, which will help you to increase international traffic and sales.
