Counting Characters

We just came across this Google SERP tool and it certainly piqued our interest. First, did you know Google doesn’t count the meta title and description by number of characters? It actually uses pixels.

This free, length checker takes out the guesswork. It lets you create Google-friendly page titles and meta descriptions that give you a better chance at performing in Google SERPS.

LinkedIn Elevate

Get ready to supercharge your reputation on Linkedin with Elevate. So this tool lets you share great content, check out valuable insight, jumpstart your visibility for more profile views, and measure progress.

We could go on, but we think you get the point. If LinkedIn is your social platform of choice, Elevate is a solid tool to try out!

Piktochart

Keeping up with promotion strategies, we’re all about the repurposing life. There’s something about transforming written blogs into digestible snippets that’s just so satisfying.

Take infographics, for example. Breaking down a long blog post into a visual-friendly piece becomes easily shareable and limits info overwhelm. And Piktochart is a highly-rated tool. Use eye-catching, easily customizable templates from Piktochart to share your content and spread your message on social!

Ready to kick your email marketing up a notch? Yeah, us too. Actually we were so ready, we made our own tool – Scalemail.

We created Scalemail for one purpose: build a quality email list. No extra bells or whistles. Just a straight forward tool turning our email marketing a self-growing machine.

RescueTime

We’ve all done it. You’re working on some big project then oops, Instagram opened up. Next thing ya know, an hour went by and you’re still looking at cool old houses.

In comes RescueTime. This tool does exactly what you think. Once installed, it shows where and how you spend your time, plus what hours/days are your least and most productive. Pretty cool, right?
