Ever Wish Your Biz Had a Personal Assistant? Meet HoneyBook.
If your current system for running your business is 47 sticky notes, a random Google Doc, and crossing your fingers you didn’t forget to send that invoice… honey, we need to talk.
Let’s break down what HoneyBook actually is, why it matters, and how it can change the game for your business.
So… What Is HoneyBook?
HoneyBook is an all-in-one clientflow platform made for small business owners and creative service providers. Think: invoicing, contracts, scheduling, proposals, emails, and automations….all in one place.
It’s like if your CRM, your inbox, your calendar, and your brain had a baby, and that baby was organized AF.
✨ Want to try it for yourself? Here’s my personal HoneyBook referral link with a sweet discount. Ps. all links in this post will have the referral link discount (:
What HoneyBook Does (Without You Having to Burn Out)
Here’s what you can do inside HoneyBook (without switching tabs 47 times a day):
Send branded invoices + get paid faster (we love that)
Create contracts your clients can sign digitally (how amazing right)
Schedule meetings or discovery calls with built-in calendar tools ( UM i love this along with the Meeting Assitant that gives you all the recap things)
Automate emails, questionnaires, and reminders (because who’s got the time to memorize it all?!?!)
Keep all your client communication and files in one sleek little portal (Amen)
No more “let me find that email real quick” panic. It’s all there. Every time.
Why I Recommend It (Yes, Even Over Dubsado, 17Hats, or DIY Chaos)
Because ease matters.
After 10 years I am SITLL team HoneyBook, thrugh all my pivots as a photographer, coach, designer, etc. this platform has supported me.
I’ve worked with dozens of creative entrepreneurs who were buried in systems that made them feel like they needed a PhD in tech just to send a proposal. HoneyBook is clean, intuitive, and doesn’t make you cry into your coffee.
The biggest compliment I get when I show clients their back-end view is that it’s easy to find things. No hiding, no weird pages, ALL EASE.
Also: it looks so good on the client side. That first impression? Polished and profesh.
Real Talk: Here’s How HoneyBook Helps You Run a Better Business
1. You look legit
No more janky PDFs or weirdly formatted invoices. It’s all branded, seamless, and professional. Clients care about the journey from paid to offboarding… make it matter with Honeybook!
2. You save SO much time
Once you set it up, the automations handle a lot of the admin stuff for you—reminders, payment follow-ups, welcome emails. Go live your life.
3. You finally feel organized
Like actually. Everything’s in one dashboard: your leads, your active clients, your calendar, your payments. As someone with 3 kids all under 3 this literally saved my sanity along with soo many of my clients.
4. You book faster
Clients can view packages, sign contracts, and pay invoices all in one flow. (Which = less drop-off and ghosting.)

- Photographer

Pro Tip: Don’t Just Sign Up—Set It Up Right
The magic of HoneyBook isn’t just in the tool—it’s in how it’s set up.
That’s where I come in 👋
As a designer + consultant , I’ve helped clients fully migrate and set up HoneyBook so it works for them—not just exists in the background unused. From automations to branded templates, I can help you get it running like a well-oiled (but still cute) machine.
TL;DR (For My Fellow Skimmers 😘)
What is HoneyBook? It’s your all-in-one client management platform that makes it easy to book clients, stay organized, and look like the polished pro you are.
And if you need a hand getting it set up? That’s what I’m here for just ask for the secret menu(; ✨
