Harvest

Harvest is the go-to tool to track time for any projects or tasks. With Harvest, you can install a desktop widget, a mobile app for when you’re off site, or you can login directly with your browser. If you’re someone who is working on multiple projects throughout the day for several clients, this tool will keep you organized. You can start and stop the timer to switch back and forth with just one click. With the reporting features, you can see where the most time is being spent and set alerts to notify you when you are nearing the project budget.

Buzzsumo

Buzzsumo is a great tool for creating content and doing competitive research to see what is trending. This tool can help you generate content ideas to create your editorial calendars for your clients. You can check the competitive research by searching for the most shared content by the URL. This feature can help you convince clients that they need to be more involved in content generation. Buzzsumo also allows you to set alerts for brand names, product names, and competitors.

Grammarly

We’ve all been caught making grammatical errors at the worst time – especially when you’re in a rush. With Grammarly, you receive error alerts in real time while you are writing that important email to a client or publishing a new blog post. Not only does Grammarly give you the correction, but it tells you why your error is incorrect. This Chrome extension is a great pair of second eyes when you don’t have the time to pass it along to someone else for review.

These aren’t all of the features that these tools provide, but we’ll let you explore them more to learn why we love these helpful tools so much. These online tools can help your business become more productive than ever. Don’t be afraid to add more to your online tool box to keep your business more effective than ever.
