 There are so many websites out there these days that we tend to get stuck with our favorites, rarely venturing outside of our little internet neighborhood. However, to do so is a trap as you will miss out on some real gems. Not just for entertainment and amusement, but also for your business. Here are just a few of my favorites that not many people seem to know about – you may with some, but be sure to check out the others! Ifttt.com is one of those amazing little productivity tools (it stands for “if not that, then this”) which automates a whole bunch of stuff, connecting between the various services you use to carry out the tiny chores you hate, saving you from a lifetime of tedious microtasks. Codeacademy.com is a neat little website that offers free coding classes in over 12 languages. Alright, so you’re a marketer, not a nerd (well – maybe just a small nerd!), but knowing the basics of the core languages can help you a LOT in this business. If you ever find yourself wondering if a site is down or it’s just your internet being crappy, isitdownrightnow.com is an insanely useful site. Check your own, or check others and know if there’s an issue or your ISP is playing up again. For royalty-free images that you can also use for commercial purposes, I love pixabay.com. It’s like an amazing free stock photos website that gives you a ton of images without having to worry about copyright or any of that stuff. Finally, for file transfer, I recommend wetransfer.com, a fast and efficient method of sending files anywhere in the world – and you can go up to 2GB per file, making it a great choice for video.

Another great one is <a href="www.canva.com"> canva.com</a>! I use it all the time. Much quicker than opening up Photoshop. <a href="grammarly.com"> grammarly.com</a> is another personaly favorite of mine!
