I’m not exaggerating when I say that I use Airtable for EVERYTHING. It is one of the most versatile tools in my toolkit. I sometimes think I love it more than I love coffee ☕…oh wait no scratch that, coffee comes first, but Airtable comes a close second. Today I want to talk about why I love? Airtable so much.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
There are many reasons to love Airtable and what it can do for your business. These are my favorites:
- Airtable has built-in automation and is Zapier-compatible
- It’s easier to use and harder to break – no spreadsheets held together with formulas
- With Airtable I can view my data in different ways with the click of a button: Grid, Calendar. Gallery and Form view are all available on the free account!
- I can sort and filter my data in a million different ways
- The many different field types allow me to keep my data streamlined and organized
- Spreadsheets cannot give you this level of flexibility and organization.

Are you confused and a little overwhelmed dear solopreneur?
I get it! When my mentor showed me Airtable for the first time, I was like heck NO! This looks super complicated – and I’m a techy person. In fact, I resisted looking at it for over a year!
But oh my, when I FINALLY did, I found that it wasn’t as scary as I initially thought and quickly realized what a powerful tool this was and how it could help me run our business without the stress and overwhelm I had been feeling.
**Side note: Isn’t it funny how we avoid scary and new things for so long only to find that when we take the plunge it’s not as scary as we initially thought**
Anyhoo, back to Airtable, which describes itself as having the power of a database, while being as familiar as a spreadsheet!
I hear you asking, but Jacqui, what can Airtable do for me?
Let me answer your question by telling you what Airtable does for me and how I use it.

I love this quote from the Zapier Blog about Airtable: “You can, technically, use a butter knife to cut fresh carrots. That doesn’t mean it’s the best tool for the job. People tend to use spreadsheets in the same way, settling for a tool that kind of works when a database would be better”
