If you are running an online business chance are you will need additional systems in place to run your business smoothly.

Not to mention that this is an additional stress with finding your clients while also maintaining a business.

Today I will be sharing with you three epic tools that are FREE to use to start off from the ground with the potential of upgrading when your business as reach that stage.

Epic tool #1 for your online business

Most of you may know that I am not US based if not, you can know more about me and my journey through here in this previous post.

From day one you will want to start off with having a payment provider in place. This means you will be accepting payments from anywhere in the world. A lot of persons have recommended using PayPal because of instantly getting paid.

It’s also well known and received worldwide. But with being an international business and fees associated with having received payment, wouldn’t you want an alternative that has minimum fees?

I have been using the Payoneer platform from day one when I started out as a freelancer. The good thing about using this platform is that it is connected directly with my local bank.

While I do use Paypal as well to receive payments the disadvantage is that I have to send a cheque to my country and it does not connect to my local bank. Not to mention the fees associated.

While using Payoneer on the other hand you are allowed to increase your earnings by reducing your payment fees by up to 71%. This means that once you receive a payment you are only charged 1% of the total amount.

What does this mean for you? You can accept payments in USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD & CAD – and transferred to your own local bank account! Once you sign up you get a FREE $25 for joining

International virtual assistants or business that are not US, Canadian or European based do not have to directly send a cheque for weeks upon weeks to be sent to their local post office then to deposit to their bank.

This is one epic tool that I recommend you have, to start accepting payments for your business once you are online.

Epic tool #2 for your online business

Once you have clients or even customers you know that managing sensitive information is a priority. If you use your bank online, shop online or even accept payments anywhere, you know you need to have secure passwords.

Using your birthdays, or your name does not cut it for these hackers online. LastPass is also free to join. It allows you to secure your passwords in a vault as well as suggest recommended passwords for your sites you visit.

The only thing you will need to remember is your secure password to secure your vault. With anything that is of importance to you namely your business, you would have put measures in place to make sure it’s secure.

Having LastPass as your trusted password manager is no different and it’s always best to use the vault when accessing the site so you not are tricked in visiting phishing sites that pretend to be secure when browsing the net.

Epic tool #3 for your online business

If you send emails like me or even write a blog post like this one. You are bound to make mistakes. First impressions are everything!

Whether you are writing a simple hello to a friend or that prospective client you will want your Grammar to be in check! Grammarly does just that and more!

Even if you are a native English speaker, not even a speaker of English, once you run a business offline and especially online you know that this tool is a keeper.

It auto corrects everything! I love using this tool as well because it helps with grammatical errors, sentence structure, and the list goes on and on.

Check it out and see the difference it will make when you send that next email.

There you have it! The 3 epic tools you should definitely start off with when starting your online business.

It was nice of you to stop by.

Until then, happy hiring, and best wishes for your business.

Mother’s day is just around the corner and like YOU, you might be scrambling for the perfect treasure to gift your mom.

You know that she deserves the best but with so many sites, stores and deals, how can you stop the overwhelm.

Well stay tuned to see what perfect treasure I have found that can be customized base on your moms taste and liking.

I have been with Stella and Dot for the earlier part of this year and what I do love about this site, is the ability to customize jewelry and treasures with your signature style.

With mothers day just around the corner, Stella and Dot have a special offer that promises to wow YOU with their high-class jewelry that are affordable with your budget in mind that will not let you break the bank.

Stella & Dot is excited to announce their latest promotion with mom in mind (I am sure YOU won’t feel bad about getting a custom piece yourself) which will allow you to save 20% off engravables at Stella & Dot

Stella & Dot’s engravable necklaces and bracelets are the perfect gifts for mom, because who doesn’t like custom pieces of jewelry with a special touch of how much you love mom.

I recommend the Signature Engravable Memento Locket this locket can be personalized with your monogram or a special date to make it unique to you and mom. This can be worn as a charm or a pendant with (or without) a photo inside.

Another of my favorite which I am torn between gifting myself and my mom as well is the Signature Engravable Clover Necklace Mom will love this especially if her initials are there or a simple date to mark a special occasion.

Now I know there are so many to choose from but at the end of the day all engravables are 20% Off at Stella & Dot and who doesn’t like a deal as well as making mom know that she is special and unique in one gift.

Until then Happy Mothers day to you and hope you have a blessed and relaxed day see you soon over at Stella & Dot where I will be updating my cart as we speak.

It was nice of you to stop by.

Until then, happy hiring, and best wishes for your business.

In most instances, the reason YOU might not be that comfortable with your body is that you might not know how to compliment your body with pieces that will enhance your shape.

This post will speak on the 4 common body shapes that I will show examples of how to style your body shape and which bikinis are best to flatter your body.

These cute and chic bikinis are compliments of Dresslily they have your style no matter what shape you are in.

The four types of body shape that I will be talking about are Hourglass, Pear, Banana and Apple body shape. Which one are you?

If you do not know which one continue reading to see what I am talking about. But if you can’t wait to shop these looks head on over to Dresslily they have every style you can think of for your bikini body for the summer.

If you are an Hourglass shape you are curvy with a tiny waist. For your bikini, you want to wear triangle cups two-piece top or solid pattern in one piece.

This Micro Leopard String will bring attention to your tiny waist, the tie at the sides are also perfect for your waist as well.

Another option is the high cut velvet bikini in a solid colour this will also be perfect to highlight your curves.

You have a pear shape if the widest part of your body is your hips. If you are not sure how to highlight your pear shape then wearing a one-piece suit with cut out, off the shoulder top and low rise bottom will be perfect for your body.

Try the Strapless Crochet Knit Lace-up bikini as crochet is in this summer if the yellow is a bit too much for you then the Crochet Knit String Low Waist Bikini will surely give you the confidence to turn heads.

You have a banana shape if you don’t have curves, but your hips are the same size as your waist. To style your body shape you should be wearing one piece with mesh cut out, high waist bottoms and do try to aim for bright colours, floral and ruffles.

Like this Striped Ruffle High Waisted Bikini Set is what I recommend also stash the Sweet Ombre Design Halter Neck Bikini Set on your next weekend barbecue.

You have an apple shape if you have a slim lower body and have a little weight on your body. Wear bikini’s that add a belt to your one piece, V neckline bikini or one piece.

You want to emphasize the lower part of your body, by wearing Moulded Halter Push Up Bikini Set if you want to add some colour you can’t go wrong with your Ethnic Paisley Halter Neck Bikini Set

There you have it! You now know how to style your body by what bikini to wear, and remember no matter size or shape that you are in confidence is always key to pulling off any look.
