Shakr

Now that you’re firing off IG stories right and left, how about a tool to spice them up a little bit?

Try Shakr. It’s been around for a minute, but it’s a pretty solid tool.

Pros: Tons of templates to choose from. Create a video in less than 5 minutes.

Cons: Slight learning curve.

Company Wiki?

We just got turned onto this tool and are really digging it. It’s called Slite.

It’s a really useful tool for keeping your team content organized in one place. From onboarding documents to your marketing plan, Slite has a ton of templates to choose from. It’s marketed as “your company Wiki.”

Pros: Free to start. Integrates with Slack. UI is on-point!

Cons: TBD

Get More Done

Do you ever wish you had a clone to double your production? Today’s feature won’t allow you to clone yourself, but it’ll definitely make you more productive.

It’s called GenM.

Here’s the skinny:

For $49/month, you get 10 hours of work per week from a fully trained marketing apprentice. Yes, this is real.

Pros: This is a great service to vet entry-level work without the risk of a full-on hire. The price is unbeatable.
Cons: None so far.

Head over to GenM and find your ideal marketer today.

Easy Employee Engagement

Remember ‘Step 1’ from above? It was all about getting your employees to engage on LinkedIn.

But, if only there was a tool to make that process easier…

Enter Babmu. Babmu allows employees to easily find company content to share in one place. This tool is 🔥.

What we like: This tool is multifaceted. Not only does it allow your team to easily share company posts, but it’s also a great way to educate employees on company happenings.

What we don’t like: The reporting side of things could be better.

Do You Even Trello?

Calling all Trello users! We got a sweet Chrome extension for ya.

Add to Trello does just that.

Let’s say you’re sourcing out some content for a new board. Add to Trello will create new cards directly from your browser.

What we like: It’s quick and easy.

What we don’t like: So far, so good.

Awesome Screenshot

That’s exactly what today’s tool is called. This nifty Chrome extension is 🔥. It allows you to capture your screen and even record it if you need to.

We’re big fans. Give it a try.

What we like: You can capture the entire website. It actually does the scrolling for you. Edit, annotate and crop with ease.

What we don’t like: There’s no erase tool and capturing the entire screen can be buggy at times.

Calling Tab Hoarders

How many tabs do you have open right now? Ok, maybe not too many if you’re reading this in the am. But, by the afternoon, probably quite a few.

Today’s tool is going to make tabbing a little easier. It’s called Copy All Urls. It’s a Google Chrome extension that gives you the ability to um, COPY ALL THE URLS.

What we like: The ability to copy, paste and open/reopen tabs is quick and easy. The links will open in multiple tabs. It’s great if you’re doing some research and need to save links for another time without bookmarking.

What we don’t like: We like it.

LMGTFY

Here’s one for all you jokesters out there. We all have that friend on Facebook who posts every and any question they can think of. Meanwhile, you’re thinking, “Yo, just Google it.”

Enter ‘Let me Google that for you,’ aka LMGTFY.

Here’s how it works: Head over to the site and type in your friends’ question. It’ll spit out a link. Copy that link and send to your friend. Bam!

What we like: It makes for a good subtle burn.

What we don’t like: n/a
