It’s that time of year again. The time when we all buy our gifts last minute while praising the wonders of the modern world (Amazon Prime, ahoy!). Or, alternately, we sit at our computer screens and frantically search for the right gift. If you’re looking for something to send your friends/family/relatives for gift guide ideas, […]
In case you’re new around here, I love me some apps. Love. Me. Some. Apps. So much so that I actually have, you know, a Youtube channel and a whole subcategory here at the blog dedicated to reviewing them. So when I found out that the theme for this month’s Word Carnival was “your favorite […]
One of the most popular video reviews I’ve ever done (two of them, actually) were of Trello, a pretty nifty visual task manager. Given the guest posting course starting on the 21st, I thought maybe y’all would appreciate a little how-to where I show you how you can use it to manage your guest posting […]
Going back to full time freelancing, my goal has been to do things differently (i.e., better!) this time around. One of the things that was a personal shortfall last time is that I was definitely not great at breaking my income goals down into smaller chunks and actually keeping track of money coming into my […]
(The maintenance dude came to fix my toilet right as I was wrapping up the video. Whoops!) Improvely is my favorite analytics tool I’ve tried so far, and I cover how/why it’s super useful in the video above. Here’s a quick breakdown: Price: $29/month for the freelancer plan (which should suit most needs) Features + usefulness: […]
Notes: Contactually has several incredibly useful features & it’s actually my favorite CRM tool to recommend to service-based business owners. Here’s why: Built in email templates let you check in with colleagues on a regular basis or with previous customers/clients without having to reinvent the wheel every time There’s also nifty features for sharing content […]
One of the questions I get a lot is: Michelle, how do you find all the awesome stuff you share in your newsletter? (Not on the newsletter? Missing out on those awesome links? Sign up to the right or at the bottom of this post!) It’s actually a pretty simple process – I made a […]
Quick note before we jump into the review: in celebration of Rock the System hitting #1 in Systems & Planning and #2 in Entrepreneurship in the Kindle store, you can get 15% off anything in the store with the code “bestseller” at checkout until midnight on Saturday. Have fun! How Teamweek works: It’s basically a […]
I’d definitely recommend Conqu for people who are managing a small (less than five member) team, especially if everyone on the team uses + is versed in GTD as a productivity system – I can only imagine that’d make it a million times more effective. Pricing: The tool itself is free with unlimited tasks/projects, but […]
Notes: Wunderlist 2 is pretty much the same as the original Wunderlist, not a lot of changes – slightly more streamlined UI, the ability to add notes & subtasks, and more task/list sharing capabilities. But if you missed the other review or want to see what the differences are, here’s a video review for ya! […]
