Doodle

When there is a larger group trying to get together for an online meetup or even a dinner with friends, there can be a lot of personal and professional limitations due to scheduling conflicts.

Doodle is a great tool to organize a time for a larger group to connect online or meet in person.

Users can select when they are available from a handful of days offered by the organizer. This eliminates the back and forth of email and reveals the best time for everyone. Plus, it’s super easy to read the chart.

Skillshop by Google

Hey folks, Gloria here. Back when I was learning the ins and outs of Google advertising one of the first things I did was get certified.

Listen, there are gurus and an explosive amount of tutorials all sharing the absolute best way to run campaigns on Google. And that was overwhelming.

I turned to Google’s free course because 1 – it was free, and 2 – it’s Google teaching me how to utilize their own platform. That’s like learning business from Warren Buffet himself.

If you wanna get into Google ads, I suggest learning the basics from the source.
