Before I show you my arsenal of the top net tools that almost certainly help you to work remotely, I should write about one more point concerning self management and specifically to do with maintaining your focus and powers of concentration
I’ve observed and verified a consistent habit in acquaintances who work on the web and I’ve known for some time and I call this habit the fifty min effect. I identified these people who concentrate and work for 50 mins. and then take a complete 10 minute break and are considerably more productive and generate a considerably higher quality of work than people who don’t have structured working methods.
OK as promised here is my list of favourite remote working online services:
Electronic Mail
Google Mail is free. My friends and I all agree the search & label (similar to folders) features have no equal. The downside is it can be a bit slow on older machines
Phone calls
Skype used to infuriate me as the service quality and reliability was atrocious, but three cheers for the software tech’s at Skype now as they have considerably refined the quality of the service. For just a few bucks a quarter they enable me to call and conference in any telephone and Skype user on the planet. The latest edition of Skype has a wealth of very useful features and there constantly expanding collection of valuable add on applications.
Organising Content
Evernote has acquired over a million users in a very short space of time – it lets you to store, organise and annotate any species of digital media in the Cloud. Just go check it out…it’s free.
Invoicing, Time and Expenses capture, Accounting and CRM
You almost certainly know that my desire to work remotely was originally motivated by Quickbooks Online, a small business accounting software web application. But it is shadowed by the free edition of salesorder.com – a lead to cash system that’s as easy to use as a hairbrush I looked at NetSuite whose pricing (and people) scared me off. My choice here is salesorder.com – Go check it out.
