Business Resources
These are some of the resources that I use in my business. I have tried many different resources and these are the ones that work really well for my business. I hope they work well for you too!

- Buffer - a great tool to curate and share content across multiple social media platforms
- Why do I like it? - it is easy to use. You can receive RSS feeds directly to your account and "buffer" content to multiple social media sites. You can see all the things that you have scheduled for the week/month and "re-buffer" things that you want to share again. You can also see if your shares have been effective by seeing the likes, clicks, shares, etc. It is reasonably priced and their happiness team (a.k.a. Customer Service) is phenomenal.
- How do I try it? - Buffer
- Nimble - a customer relationship management tool to consolidate all of your customers, clients and leads into one database.
- Why do I like it? - it is easy to use. You can easily import the information from various social media sites (LinkedIn, Twitter), track contact information, emails that are sent out and responses, next contact date, tracking deals with reporting, send out group messages and tracking, create email templates that can be saved, training webinars and a free trial period, provides a mobile app as well.
