Dubsado* is the hottest business tool in the freelance world right now. I get a LOT of questions about it. So in this video, I'm sharing what Dubsado is and how to use it.
If you're scratching your head, wondering what the heck Dubsado is then here's the lowdown:
Dubsado is an all-in-one business management tool that allows you to send contracts and invoices, handle project management, create questionnaires and other forms, manage bookkeeping, track your time, send and receive emails and SO much more... all from ONE app.
And guess what? It's only $35 a month. That's a suuuper sweet price for a tool that does SO much and saves you so much time.
(If you can’t afford Dubsado right now, I recommend sticking to free tools. My course, Organize & Automate, helps you streamline your business using free tools only.)
Watch the video below to see a quick and simple Dubsado* walkthrough! In the video, you'll see exactly what Dubsado looks like, how it works, and the features it includes.
