The $99 Tech Stack That Replaces a $2,500/month Team

You don’t need a VA, designer, project manager, or developer to run your business. You need the right stack.
This is the setup I recommend to freelancers, creators, and consultants getting started:
1. Client Work & Projects
- Notion: Manage deliverables, feedback, and timelines.
- Loom: Give updates without hopping on calls.
2. Payments & Contracts
- Bonsai: Send proposals, get paid, handle taxes.
- Stripe: Easy recurring subscriptions and payments.
3. Marketing & Automation
- Beehiiv: Start a free newsletter that builds trust.
- Zapier: Connect tools and auto-send reminders/invoices.
All of this costs less than $99/month — and removes the need to manage a team of people.
