    CoSchedule, Revive Old Post, and Buffer: My Social Content Tools

    by

    I believe we all know the power of sharing when it comes to building an online audience. But now that I’m posting here regularly, sharing this content could be a really big job; something I’d have to give my attention to a few times a day. However, while I do want to share my content…

    by

    As a small business owner, you wear a lot of hats and keep a lot of plates spinning. As you add more plates and your to-do list gets longer, you start looking for solutions to save time and/or work more efficiently.

    17hats Review

    by

    In 2014 I used Bidsketch (see my review) to do all my estimates and FreeAgent (no review for this one) to handle the invoicing for my projects. As I said in my Bidsketch review, one downside to using this pair of tools was that I was left with double entry for all my contacts. I’d enter a prospect into…

    Processing Email with Dispatch and Postbox

    by

    Email is likely the biggest inbox you deal with on a daily basis. If you’re like me, email may make up the 3 biggest inboxes you deal with every day. You hear about those people who maintain an Inbox 0 status daily, and you hate them (go ahead, admit you do). But do you know…

  • How do I ask for a raise?

    by

    I’ve talked before about how you sell value to your client as you price a project, but what about asking for a raise? Basically approach it the same way, show your value to your employer. Are you able to bring more money in to the company because of new training you’ve done? Do you have…

    Should you use Nozbe or Todoist?

    by

    Going into 2015 I needed to make a change to my productivity and workflow tools. Redbooth, my primary tool for 2014, was decent (see my big review) but was missing a few things that I found more and more annoying as time went by. In no particular order, these were the ‘big’ problems for me:…

    Bidsketch Review

    by

    Today we’re looking at Bidsketch, another tool I loved in 2014. We’ve all written estimates for clients right? My early process worked, but involved a number of steps and proved to be time-consuming. When I needed to create a new estimate, I would use Pages along with a template I pulled from somewhere or other. Once…

    Before we jump in to this review I want to remind you that if you choose use the same tools I do, there is no guarantee you will get the same results as me. My reviews are intended to show you how I used the tool and what I loved/hated about it. If you pick…

    This week we’re going to take a look at the tools I used in 2014 and the changes I plan to make in 2015. Before we embark on this, though, I want to remind you of something. Just because you use the same tool as someone else doesn’t mean you will get their results. Way…
