There are hundreds of social media sites out there. There is no way you can be active member and contributor in all of them, so you will have to choose the ones you focus on. However, there are ways to automate certain tasks, making things easier for yourself AND help all your social media followers at the same time.
For example, it is very likely that you want to share the new blog post you just published, your new YouTube video, etc. In addition to my own content, I also want to share the best blog posts, articles and videos I’ve read or watched.
As I want to send these to Twitter anyway, I should make that process as easy for myself as possible, right? I’m thinking automation! And in the end, it’s quite easy too! So if you want to send the “standard” updates automatically too, this the post is for you!

A month and a half ago, I wrote whether or not it’s good to be a jack of all trades or take more of a specialist approach to things you do online, e.g. Internet business. If you haven’t seen the post I’m talking about, you can find it here: Be a Jack of All Trades and You Will Fail?
At the time I wrote the earlier post, I was leaning towards specializing and getting really good at handful of things, instead of pulling all the strings and being a true generalist. But lately I’ve recognized that being a generalist doesn’t mean knowing a little bit of everything, but instead, knowing enough about multiple topics to be able to utilize all that for fun or profit.
The problem with being a generalist is the attention span and the looming information overflow if you get carried away…

Keeping myself organized has not been my strong-point but I’m getting there, and I wanted to share the tools I use to control the chaos. I always have loads of ideas in my head, and keeping all the thoughts organized is a bit tricky sometimes. It’s really important to have some sort of plan and schedule for things, and it’s equally important to capture all the ideas and thoughts you might have during the day (you might not be sitting on computer when you get that killer idea!). I’ve developed a strategy for all this using these free tools:
- One to take the notes whenever they come to mind,
- second to organize those ideas and brainstorm more and
- third to get all those ideas, plans and words out “on paper”.
- I use the fourth one to set reminders and todo-lists for myself and
- all this is scheduled to calendar using the fifth one.
Yes, I love Google (and I’m not ashamed to admit it) and all the tools they offer for free, but who can blame me, as the tools they provide are the best out there and they’re available anywhere you have a Internet connection. Read on to find out more about these tools..
