Boosting Efficiency
Drafts
A great way to boost efficiency is with an app called Drafts for mac and iOS. Drafts markets itself as “where text starts” and is the hub of your digital life. Anytime there is an article you want to read or a tweet you want to save for later, click the share button on your phone and add it to Drafts. Drafts allow you to send what you collect to the other apps in your digital universe, including your digital notebook, task manager, email client, and messaging client.
StoryChief
https://storychief.grsm.io/iprov-seo-copywriting
The SEO feature on the StoryChief Story (blog section) helps the writer and the publisher know the optimization of the focus keyword. Several factors will affect the efficiency of the keywords based on the article’s word count. This StoryChief feature gives you an easy-to-understand green or red to indicate your efficiency based on factors such as meta description, alt tags, headings, density, links, and more! A well-optimized piece of content is more likely to rank higher in a local search. In contrast, a search engine-friendly blog post with low-quality content is less likely to make the first few pages.
StoryChief is a multi-use tool. You can write, optimize, and enhance readability. And you can add graphics, videos, and forms, write meta, snippets, and social posts, and even publish them to your website and email.
An all-in-one feature means less time in the go-between — no second guessing or passing of hands, just simple, easy-to-understand button clicks.
Grammarly
Grammarly is a website and an app that saves you time by acting as an autocorrect for emails, documents, direct messages and more. It flags any misspelled words or improper grammar when you write to help save time on proofreading.
It saves you time and elevates your emails to be more professional. And the best part is that it’s free!
Eye Dropper
Eye Dropper is an open-source extension for Google Chrome that allows you to pick a color from any web page or advanced color picker. It’s an excellent tool for graphic designers and web developers. This extension is a time saver and a lifesaver regarding color ID/matching and makes graphic design much easier.
