In this blog i thought I would share 3 free online tools that I love and I hope you will too.
As much as I try to give away as much as I possibly can on my blog I wanted to give something more than just my thoughts and musings. So Today I am going to list 3 amazing free tools that I hope you will get huge value from as I do. There are no affiliated links at all.
1) Sidekick from Hubspot - This is a free email tool that I have found fascinating, What it does is notify you when people are opening your emails. it will provide you with 200 free notifications per month then after there is a charge.
It shows you each and every time and not just the first and it also shows you if it was a desktop or mobile that opened the email. There is a handy sidebar as well that links to the persons social accounts as well. The most fascinating part of the this tool is the amount of times people keep returning to your email. If nothing else you can be sure you know that your email has been read.
2) Podio from Citrix - This is a project management tool that is ideal if you have a team of 2 or more. The software is free for 5 people or 5 people in a single workspace. This tool is amazing for so many aspects of business. You create various workspaces such as Sales and HR or Marketing and customise it with a selection of apps.
There is a huge market place of these apps which are the functions in your workspace. So for example in the sales workspace you might have contacts, companies, communications, leads, sales meetings and whatever else you require. The apps are all free and can be completely customised to fit your systems and processes. You can even make you own app if it does not exist.
The main benefit of the system is the ability to communicate, comment and share at almost every single level. There is a separate private chat function and you can even do video and voice calls all right in the system. I personally believe that Podio is a must have system in all small businesses and investing into it will provide massive benefits.
3)Sumome from Appsumo - This is an amazing plugin for all website not just wordpress that is a must have. It provides a range of free and paid for apps in an easy 1 click type installation. Just a few of the amazing tools that are part of the setup include a heatmap app to track all of the clicks on your website pages and show them in an overlay on your webpage so you can see where people are clicking and also where they are not. Other apps include the content analytics which is a must for your blog posts and website pages. It shows how far people actually scroll down the page. If that is not enough then how about this, there are email collection pop ups smart bars and social sharing apps too. This is quite simply a must have tool.
So there you have it 3 amazing free tools to make your life that little bit better. I hope you find them helpful.
