        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We know the high power that the image has in our days. Especially, we are exploring this Information explosion network. A pure and long text would be ignored. But infographics and visual contents would attract us to learn.</p><p>And contrary to what you may think before, you do not require a large budget to create and share impact images on your social networks. Some tools will help you in this mission and that we will share in this post.&nbsp;</p><p>But first, you should define what type of images you are looking for and what tools you will use to get them.

For example:</p><p><strong>Vector illustrations</strong>: these are images constituted by geometric elements combined in such a way that they create intricate drawings or figures. Contrary to what happens with photography, they do not lose definition by altering their size. That makes them ideal for various digital and print platforms.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Infographic</strong>: Use graphic representations diagrams, icons or diagrams To explain a process or idea with images.</p><p><strong>Mockup</strong>: Assemblies that are used to give us an idea of how the final design will look. They are useful to show the audience or the client the last appearance of an advertisement, for example.</p><p><strong>Typography:</strong> Refers to models or styles of letters. There is a wide range of choices on the internet that you can adapt to your publications with images as a compliment.</p><p><strong>Textures</strong>: These are options related to the surface of an image: opaque, bright, that mimic reliefs or surfaces such as wood or paper.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h1>The best 4 graphic resources at your fingertips</h1><p><br></p><h2>DesignCap

    	<description>The best opportunity that any startup can get is the possibility of explosive growth, or rather, a combination of a number of circumstances</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/why-do-some-startups-succeed-and-why-not-others" target="_blank">best opportunity that any startup</a><a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/startup" target="_blank">&nbsp;</a>can get is the possibility of explosive growth, or rather, a combination of a number of circumstances that make it possible. Explosive growth requires minimal or even virtual production, for which production facilities are not necessary at all.</p><p>Obviously, it is impossible to do without communication at each stage of the development and launch of a startup. And now we are not talking about marketing communications, but about communication within the team. In this article, we will consider the specifics of the tools for collaboration, determine the most necessary features, and conclude which application is the most convenient for use in a startup.</p><p><br></p><h2>The Main Communication Problem within a Startup</h2><p>As we have already said, any <a href="https://medium.com/@lijiang2087/rule-of-10-how-fast-does-your-startup-need-to-grow-6b43aa4cdeda" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">startup should grow very fast</a>. The costs of internal communication hinder growth. A team of five will already spend too much time communicating with each other. </p><p>In practice (or according to the laws of mathematics), current communication costs increase quadratically to the volume of the team. Between X people, there are X (X -1) / 2 connections, everyone needs to communicate with everyone. Accordingly, a team of two people is always better than a team of three, a team of three is better than four. Of course, provided that they all can do roughly the same thing.</p><p>This approach can be compared with the process of introducing a product into international markets. When a company focuses on two or three markets, it has an effect. Especially if the product and content have been qualitatively translated and localized, for example, using <a href="https://thewordpoint.com/" target="_blank">TheWordPoint.com</a>. But when the coverage area begins to increase, it does not bring the expected result. All according to the Pareto principle.</p><p>Therefore, it is important to find a solution that will not complicate the communication of an expanding team, but rather will make it as quick and effective as possible. Further, we will consider what basic features collaboration applications must have in order to meet this requirement.</p><p><br></p><h2>What Should Be Taken into Account Choosing the Best Group Chat App</h2><p>The main condition for the survival of any startup on the market is the ability to grow rapidly. And this is the ability to grow not only outside (access to new markets), but also inside (expanding the team). </p><p>A “team” of one, as the practice has shown, is bad. The study showed that a startup with one founder becomes successful on average in forty months. And with the two founders, this period is reduced to twenty months.</p><p>Each member of the team still needs an outside view. So an ideal startup team consists of more than two people, while one of them can be a purely technical specialist, and the other must combine technical and business knowledge.</p><p>And if a team is remote, a collaboration tool becomes the only way to communicate. In order for communication to be effective, it is necessary for the group chat app to solve several tasks at once: </p><ul><li>task and time management issues</li><li>tracking work progress</li><li>an ability to quickly ask a question and get an answer</li><li>a possibility to look for an answer before asking the question (in the history of correspondence or completed tasks)</li><li>technical opportunities for group calls, file sharing, etc. </li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Main Features to Be Present in a Group Chat App for the Most Effective Collaboration</h2><p>Here is the list of the most necessary collaboration tool features that are able to make communication and joint work as efficient as possible. </p><ul><li>Instant messaging</li><li>Voice and video calls</li><li>Task management board</li><li>Calendar</li><li>Conferences</li><li>Screen and files sharing</li><li>It should be low-cost or free. </li></ul><p><br></p><h2>List of Tools to Choose from</h2><p><br></p><h2>Google Hangouts Chat</h2>
<p class="text-center">
	<amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/952032-google-hangouts-chat.jpg" layout="responsive" height="1066" width="1600" alt="Google Hangouts"></amp-img>
	<small>Source: Pexels.com</small>
</p>
<p>This is a service that allows you to conduct personal correspondence and jointly work on projects equally successfully.</p><p>Interface Features:</p><ul><li>Search for contacts is simple and convenient. Some of them are automatically added from Google+.</li><li>The messenger shows a list of dialogs, each of which has a unique name, emoticon or avatar.</li><li>Each dialogue, in fact, is a mini-chat that can be turned into a conference.</li><li>Once you add a user to the chat, you cannot delete it. It will be necessary to delete the entire dialogue and then create it again without unnecessary contact.</li><li>The application provides that each dialogue can become a video call (up to 30 participants).</li><li>GIF animation and photo editing are supported. There are many filters to choose from, with which you can make any image unique</li></ul><p>The <a href="https://hangouts.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hangouts</a>&nbsp;software product has a number of advantages that make it popular:</p><ul><li>Easy installation and working interface of the program.</li><li>Quick and easy setup.</li><li>Secure cloud technology.</li><li>Cross-platformity - the program works on all devices.</li><li>Basic functionality is free, except for calls to some numbers.</li><li>The project’s business orientation, which allows startup creators and team members to use the capabilities of Hangouts for corporate purposes.</li></ul><p>To make the <a href="https://blog.proofhub.com/https-blog-proofhub-com-steps-to-streamline-work-process-and-improve-workflow-be7371841008" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">workflow more efficient</a>, the service uses the capabilities of artificial intelligence. There are 25 bots available on Hangouts Chat to help improve your workflow. The @Drive bot, for example, tells you when you were added to a file or when someone asks for access to your documents. And the @Meet bot integrated with the calendar helps you plan your meetings.</p><p><br></p><h2>Slack
</h2>
<p class="text-center">
	<amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/403553-slack-chat.jpg" layout="responsive" height="900" width="1600" alt="Slack"></amp-img>
	<small>Source: Pexels.com</small>
</p>
<p>The program positions itself as a "corporate messenger" and "a killer of Skype and corporate mail." According to company statistics, 10 million people use Slack daily.</p><p>There are main features of the program functionality:</p><ul><li>There are three tariff plans for the user to choose from: paid, free, and advanced. The free version has restrictions, for example, on downloading files (5 gigabytes) and the number of services connected to the application (5 pieces). In the free version, the search is carried out only on the last 10 thousand messages. The paid version costs about seven dollars a month.</li><li>At the heart of the work are Slack channels. Each channel is a separate chat. It is created for a separate topic. This is very convenient for the company and perfectly allows you to cooperate with the work of different departments in one messenger.</li><li>But! One of the disadvantages of channeling is that the user must be in certain channels in order to see the correspondence. After the visitor enters the channel, the entire message history becomes available.</li><li>The system loads links and pictures into the chat with a small preview as in social applications.</li><li>Slack is integrated with a large number of extraneous services, such as Dropbox, etc.</li><li>Reviews of regular users are mostly positive because the application consumes the battery of devices much less than analogs.</li><li>Slack has a special web version for Android and iOS.There is support for two-factor authentication, it works conveniently for mobile devices.</li><li>Messages are stored on separate servers, that is, users can always access them.</li><li>Slack provides a convenient search system for messages and documents.</li><li>The system also has special push notifications that are quite functional and easy to use.</li><li>A convenient file sharing function for users, however, the file size varies depending on the tariff plan.</li><li>Slack offers statistics on the use of the application for users, which is quite convenient.</li><li>Among the shortcomings of the system, it should be noted that Slack does not support calls and video calls. It allows you to only exchange messages.</li></ul><p>However, <a href="https://slack.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Slack</a>&nbsp;allows the user to be much less distracted and more focused on tasks. All typical questions can be asked to the chatbot, which in this service does its job perfectly.</p><p><br></p><h2>Chatwork</h2> 

<p class="text-center">
	<amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/632253-chatwork.png" layout="responsive" height="319" width="647" alt="Chatwork"></amp-img>
	<small>Source: Pexels.com</small></p><p>In general, <a href="https://go.chatwork.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this application</a>&nbsp;also has all the necessary functions for collaboration. You can use basic tools for free. These are functions such as</p><ul><li>Task, contact and project management</li><li>Screen sharing</li><li>Video conferencing</li><li>The ability to access from any device.</li></ul><p>According to user reviews, notifications from the application can sometimes come with a delay.</p><p>This is a very simple application that is suitable at the initial stage of the development of the team. Teams up to five people can perfectly manage all the available functionality. In other words, this is a good option to start, but in the future, most likely, you will want to start using something more powerful. </p><p><br></p><h2>Glip</h2><p>This platform focuses on organizing an optimal workflow. The task and its successful implementation are in the spotlight.</p><p>The system can be used as a knowledge base of the company and a messenger for the operational solution of business issues. It integrates with email, which allows you to collaborate with people using various project management applications.</p><p>To combine remote teams, text chat, the ability to send voice messages and organize a video conference in real-time are presented. The software provides unlimited cloud storage, in addition, the administrator can set the time frame for tasks, appoint responsible employees and restrict access rights.</p><p>At any time during the session, you can share a screen with your interlocutors, and the team’s calendar and news alerts will help each employee stay updated. In addition, a participant can upload third-party files and contacts from other services and databases to <a href="https://glip.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Glip</a>.</p><p>Glip features include:</p><ul><li>An unlimited number of colleagues.</li><li>Guest users.Teams and projects.</li><li>Team calendars.</li><li>Sync with Outlook, iCal, and GCal.</li><li>Notes.Collaborative editing of documents.</li><li>Customizable push notifications and email.</li><li>Mail attachments.Link sharing and archiving.</li><li>File sharing</li><li>Integration with Dropbox and GDrive.</li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Stride</h2><p>Stride will help users solve three main problems:</p><ul><li>a huge number of collaboration programs and notifications,l</li><li>ack of real communication effect</li><li>lack of clear meeting results.</li></ul><p>Stride copes with all three problems, combining all communication channels in one solution. It has features for audio and video calls, messaging and joint tasks management.</p><p>Stride also takes instant messaging / presence status to a new level. You can leave the conversation by placing yourself in a “concentration mode” that has many more options than the typical “do not disturb” mode. The “Concentration Mode” provides other users with information about what you are working on and when you are free. You can always return to your usual rhythm with the help of special alerts that will quickly bring you up to date.</p><p>You can connect instant voice and video conferencing, share the screen with the interlocutors, and mark discussions and dialogs as resolved. The service allows you to record meetings and store message history. Functions for managing users and remote desktop, adding bots and applications, as well as setting file permissions are available.</p><p><br></p><h2>Conclusion - What Is the Best One </h2><p>In our humble opinion, Glip proved to be the richest with the necessary functions program. While other developers are either focusing on communications or task management, Glip has combined both of these functions on the same platform. And it is already impossible to say that the functionality for communication has suffered because of the functionality for task management and planning.</p><p><em><span style="font-size: 12px;">Featured image via Pexels.com</span></em></p>]]></content:encoded>

        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Automation has become a powerful tool allowing us to get more done in less time in marketing. With the ever-growing technological world, bots have become an essential part of the automation process. Bots are programmable software that you program to carry out specific actions on its own. You build it to do what you want it to, then let it perform the actions by itself. Chatbots, therefore, are computer programs that can carry on conversations with humans in an all-natural and fluid way.&nbsp;Chatbots have gained popularity amongst marketers over the years, and here are some tips on how to use chatbots in your <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/category/marketing" target="_blank">content marketing strategy</a>.</p><h2>Promote your chatbot </h2><p>Before you even begin using your chatbot to communicate with your clients, take the initiative of promoting your chatbot to your clients. Let people know you have one. The right way of developing your chatbot would be through social media platforms like Facebook and route it to your messenger. Mention your bot in all customer support channels always, include a call-to-action button on your website and blogs to stay in touch with people. Get people excited about it and using it. Create anticipation in your customers.</p><h2>Research on the commonly asked questions </h2><p>Consider the content your bot will contain and its sole purpose.&nbsp;</p><p>Engage your customer service team and inquire about constantly asked questions by customers. Get in touch with the social media support team as well as the <a href="https://sproutsocial.com/glossary/social-media-manager/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">social media manager</a>. They are better placed in knowing frequent customer inquiries. Do extensive research and fully equip your bot to handle any kind of situation falling under its intended purpose. It will significantly improve your bot's performance and customer interaction.</p><h2>Customize your bot in its very own conversation tree</h2><p>Bots act upon a set of instructions set for it; therefore, set concrete questions for your chatbot to answer. This makes the interactive process flawless and believable. With tactfully placed questions, your bot will build a conversation that flows. If you are a beginner, then don’t stress so much on how to create a chatbot<a href="https://www.topwritersreview.com/top-10-essay-writing-services/" target="_blank"></a>. There is a lot of online information on chatbots and how to get one running for your brand. </p><h2>Send relevant notifications </h2><p>Do not bombard your consumers with tons of text messages, emails, and any other kinds of notifications. As chatbots can gather and analyze data, they are, therefore, able to curate and send relevant and personalized messages through social media to every individual user. It is even more reason for your clients to stay happy. Who knows they might end up sharing your posts and&nbsp;<a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/benefits-of-blogging-for-your-business" target="_blank">blog posts</a> with family and friends? </p><h2>Assure your clients that there is always a human</h2><p>There exists a percentage of people who still prefer traditional ways of communication, like social support or emails. Handle this by letting people know that they are welcome to get in touch with a human anytime the need arises. This is because while some people enjoy faster replies from chatbots, some are turned off by the concept of chatbots, therefore, be inclusive.</p><h2>Use chatbot newsletters instead of email newsletters</h2><p>Use your chatbot as a content delivery system. Set up your chatbot to ask your clients to opt-in and get regular announcements and updates about your brand. You build a subscriber list just like that. It is a plus to your business.</p><h2>Avoid open-ended conversations</h2><p>To avoid possible confusion for your bot, avoid full open-ended discussions. Promote a better customer experience, and a happy customer is just what your brand needs. In your chatbot, have statements with frequently asked questions or the tasks the bot can smoothly perform by just a tap. Equip your bot with automated answers to these frequently asked questions. It eliminates the guesswork of any kind out of the bot, thus improving the customer experience as well.</p><h2>Give your chatbot a voice&nbsp;</h2><p>Every&nbsp;<a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/social-media-optimization-tips-2020" target="_blank">social media marketing</a> platform has a tone incorporated to it, like a signature in which customers identify it with. Similarly, you want to pick up a tone for your chatbot and stay consistent with it and let your customers identify with it as your brand's voice and tone. Have opening messages in the form of welcoming notes and warmly welcome your clients. Also, this is the point why you incorporate the idea of having a human at the very end of it always.&nbsp;</p><h2>Make your chatbot&nbsp; lead-nurturing&nbsp;</h2><p>Through gathering relevant information, conduct split testing on your personalized messages and tailor your marketing efforts to each lead visiting your website or social media profile, it even helps your users through their buyer's journey.</p><h2>Send surveys to your contact list&nbsp;</h2><p>This can be the easiest way of surveying your clients instead of using emails or through your websites. You are likely to gain attention and get a high volume of responses when you use your chatbot as a survey tool. Ask people to first opt-in to interact with you, with time to start sending occasional messages with short, simple surveys.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><h2>Enrich and personalize your chatbot&nbsp;</h2><p>By anticipating the most common questions asked by your clients, you get to program your bot and equip it for its purpose accordingly. Incorporate simple ideas like operational hours and best deals in your chatbot and upscale the customer experience. Use personalization tools to curate the chat experience of your chatbot, and come up with the perfect or best bot experience for your folks.&nbsp;</p><h2>Make communicating with your brand fun</h2><p>It is so evident that chatbots can deliver quality information to customers seamlessly in no time. Why not make it even thrilling and more fun by incorporating tools that will make the experience awesome for your customers. Leave a lasting expression on your users.</p><h2>Measure the effectiveness</h2><p>If you have a chatbot, you might probably wonder if its effective and if your clients like it and enjoy the experience. Have a question like…is this working? Working can mean a lot of things when it comes to a chatbot. Through the use of measurable links and codes, you can measure the effectiveness of your bot. Measure the effectiveness of your sales or marketing through a metric. UTM codes are relevant in the content you link your bot with. Through these codes, you can measure traffic from your chatbot, as well as the customer journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Chatbots have emerged in the market, taking the corporate world with a whim with its versatility. Companies are quick to adopt automated systems in order to simplify the lives of professionals. With time building bots have become even easier, thereby even more reason to have them. By implementing a chatbot into your <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/benefits-of-blogging-for-your-business" target="_blank">content marketing strategy</a>, you enable learning; you get to understand your audience, tailor your marketing tools and efforts, monetize your social media and reach a new breed of customers. If you have been considering incorporating a chatbot to your brand's marketing strategy, what are you waiting for? It is exactly what you need to be on the chart, be competitive, and reap the benefits of technology more for your campaign.</p>]]></content:encoded>

        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ranging from pictures, audios, videos, codes
to texts, we live in the age of data. In fact, it forms the basis of our daily
activities. Unfortunately, like other valuable items, we can lose data.
However, the good news is that they are recoverable through some handy tools.
Understandably, most people will think about the recycle bin at the first
mention of&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_recovery" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">data recovery</a> tools. But what happens when the files are deleted
from the recycle bin? Or your device does not feature a recycle bin?</p>
<p>In such conditions, data may be lost
completely to a layman. But if you are conversant with tech experts, you should
have heard the common statement, “nothing is ever deleted.” This statement is
true because once a file is erased, the device doesn’t actually delete it.
Instead, the data will be marked as Reusable by the device. Thus, it will only
be removed from the index. This implies that data can be restored.</p>
<p>However, to recover erased data, you’ll need a data recovery tool or professionals who can do <a href="https://www.dataclinic.co.uk/" target="_blank">raid recovery</a>&nbsp;of data. Luckily, some of these tools are available for free on the
internet. To save you from the stress of searching, below are some expert picks
worth using. Enjoy reading!</p><h1>List of Data Recovery Tools</h1>
<h2>Disk
Drill
</h2><p>Among the top data recovery tool ever
developed is Disk Drill. This software comes with some highly useful features.
But before delving into its usefulness, let’s share a helpful tip about Disk
Drill. The product comes in two versions: Free and Paid. It’s not necessary to
pay immediately after downloading the software. The reason is that with the
free version, you can scan and access your lost data, then decide if they are
worth recovering. If you feel that they are worth taking back, then you can pay
for the premium service. Concerning functions, aside from the data recovery
feature, you can use the tool to prevent future data loss as well as future
data recovery. </p><h2>SalvageData</h2> 
<p>
    <amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/107660-salvagedata.jpg" height="387" width="800" layout="responsive" alt="salvagedata"></amp-img>
</p>
<p>To anyone or any business who suffered data loss due to file system corruption, or accidental file deletion, here is another useful data recovery tool
worth checking out. SalvageData can be a help as it offers a critical data recovery service. It's a lab specializing in the salvaging of data files. It has a free data recovery tool for Windows that can recover from any kind of file types.

then consider getting the Recuva data recovery tool.</p><h2>Free
Undelete
</h2><p>For people who don’t have the budget to get
premium service on other data recovery tools, here is a solution for you. Free
Undelete is accessible without any charges. Despite the free service, you can
recover any files that you have deleted from your recycle bin. Although the
tool lacks all the fancy features, it is ideal for personal use.</p><h2>Mini
Tool Partition Recovery</h2>
<p>
    <amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/498483-minitool-partitionrecovery.jpg" height="383" width="800" layout="responsive" alt="minitool partition recovery"></amp-img>
</p>
<p>You don’t have to delete data to lose it. Sometimes, it can be lost through a Windows update, virus attack, and other forms of data disaster. If you ever experience such types of data loss, then consider using Mini Tool Partition recovery. This tool helps recover lost partitions due to data errors. Also, on the tool, you’ll find some comprehensive partition recovery features that enable users to retrieve a complete partition – not just a few files.</p><h3>Conclusion
</h3><p>Before we conclude, it’s worth noting that you
don’t have to spend exorbitantly to recover most lost files by calling tech experts. All you need is to download any of the tools discussed herein and
implement the simple steps, as stated by the tool developer.&nbsp;Just make sure you download the software tools directly from their website to avoid getting fake applications and malware. By so doing, you

    	<description>Let’s tackle a few of the most effective solutions that empower remote companies to encourage collaboration and productivity by taking a strategic approach.</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A growing number of companies are starting to embrace a more flexible mindset in terms of employee collaboration, which includes a greater inclination towards remote work. Whether you already have team members that prefer working from home, or you’ve been “pushed” by the pandemic to send your employees home and close your office for the foreseeable future, adjusting to this model takes some time. On the other hand, you also need a strategy that will foster that flexibility without compromising your productivity and collaboration. </p>
<p>Today, especially because of <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.understood.org/en/workplace/coronavirus-resources/pandemic-stress-employee-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">higher amounts of stress your employees</a> are likely dealing with, ensuring productive work hours can help them stay engaged, and to get more work done in less time. Let’s tackle a few of the most effective solutions that empower remote companies to encourage collaboration and productivity by taking a strategic approach.</p>
<h2>Make time for one-on-one interactions</h2>
<p>No matter if your employees work in an office or they’re at home, providing and asking for feedback should remain part of your regular communication. In addition to weekly virtual get-togethers with your entire teams, you should also set aside specific time slots for one-on-one meetings. </p>
<p>That way, each employee can share specific issues they might be having, and you can provide performance reviews to help them become more productive. Regular and transparent communication is crucial for all your remote teams to stay engaged while working remotely.</p>
<h2>Use a PM tool</h2>
<p>It’s simple enough to stop by an employee’s desk and ask for a quick email draft or a PR announcement. However, when you try to communicate all of these quick tasks via chat or video conferencing, you risk forgetting about them or failing to provide all the necessary information so that the task can be completed. To ensure optimal productivity, you should <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Techradar" href="https://www.techradar.com/best/best-project-management-software" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">use a project management tool</a> that can keep all of your team’s tasks in one place.</p>
<p>PM tools often have a slew of features that can help you navigate the remote work process more easily. With a clear overview of deadlines, projects, and individual milestones, you’ll also be able to help your individual team members stay productive and overcome setbacks. </p>
<h2>Take care of your schedule in advance</h2>
<p><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/articles/business-ideas-for-millennials" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">Running a small-scale business</a> often means enjoying the perks of simply seeing that everyone is accounted for during your Monday morning meetings. As soon as you switch to remote work, you’ll notice that tracking attendance and deadlines become much more of a challenge. Now that they are at home, they might be more prone to being late or even forgetting the occasional shift.</p>
<p>To avoid such issues that can heavily impact productivity, you should use solutions that will track <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://humanforce.com/product/time-and-attendance/" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">time and attendance</a> for you and help your remote employees manage their workload and responsibilities. Just like your <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/articles/the-impact-of-technology-on-project-management-success" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">project management software</a>, a scheduling tool is an amazing investment that can help boost productivity and accountability while reducing stress. The added reminders and alerts are a great way to keep all of your remote teams in check. </p>
<h2>Don’t forget about incentives</h2>
<p>When you spend time with employees at the office, you can sense and notice when someone needs a mood boost and go the extra mile. Then again, you can use your meetings to organize team-building sessions and find out interesting details about your employees to surprise them with the occasional giveaway. When you switch to remote work, <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Business.com" href="https://www.business.com/articles/motivate-remote-workers/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">motivating your remote teams</a> becomes a greater challenge.</p>
<p>From surveys from time to time, all the way to sending care baskets with their favorite snacks and healthy treats, you can certainly make arrangements to incentivize your teams on a regular basis. Bonuses are always a great choice, but adding a personal touch will help make your isolated employees feel more valued and remind them that they belong.</p>
<h2>Encourage work-life balance </h2>
<p>This is not just about the pandemic. Yes, the current health crisis definitely exasperates stress levels and anxiety for many, your employees included, but this is a mindset you should foster beyond the pandemic, and even in the best of circumstances. Focusing on your employees’ health and wellbeing means that you will help them stay productive within their work hours, while at the same time encouraging them to take breaks, eat healthily, and spend quality time with their families.</p>
<p>Working from home mustn’t turn into working non-stop or being available at all times. Employees need to understand that working from home doesn’t require them to sacrifice their personal time to wrap up work or finish more assignments than they need to. By educating your teams on <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.thehrdirector.com/features/future-of-work/50-tips-to-find-work-life-balance-in-the-age-of-remote-work/" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">how to ensure work-life balance every day</a>, you’ll be able to inspire them to be productive during actual work hours and help them separate their professional and personal time. </p>
<p>Managing employee expectations and providing the right tools are both crucial steps for optimal levels of productivity for your remote teams. In time, you will notice other growth and development opportunities to allow your employees more flexibility in how they manage their responsibilities. With the right steps in your approach, you’ll be able to protect your professional reputation and ensure employee satisfaction for the long haul.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to know how to work remotely, you should consider your current professional role, your working style, and be prepared for possible challenges like distractions, fragmented team communication, and time management problems. Luckily, we have amazing remote work tools that can help maintain productivity and high employee engagement.

    	<description>This article will provide you with the types of remote work tools you need, as well as some of the best examples in each category.</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ongoing pandemic made people work remotely. Thankfully, there is an abundance of available tools. Even if you cannot meet in person with your colleagues, you can keep in touch and get the job done from home so long as you have a computer and an internet connection.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the same time, some team managers may find themselves in a situation where it is difficult to take care of their regular duties because not everyone is on the same page. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This article will provide you with the types of remote work tools you need, as well as some of the best examples in each category.</span></p>
<h2>Team Communication Platforms</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Start with finding a proper team communication platform. You should look for one that has more than just instant messaging and the feature to create separate channels. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Slack is one of the best options at the moment. The tool has pretty much anything you would expect from a reliable communication platform. Users can change their statuses to inform colleagues, pin important messages at the top of a channel, create separate threads to have an easier time tracking conversation, and react to messages using emotes so that another person is aware of those who have read the message.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The platform also has a third-party tool integration feature. You can add </span><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.ahoyteam.com/templates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><span style="font-weight: 400;">free workflow templates for Slack</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Google Drive, Dropbox, Hubspot, as well as Zendesk. And keep in mind that these are just a few examples.</span></p>
<h2>Mobile Hotspots</h2>
<p class="text-center"><amp-img layout="responsive"  src="/assets/images/blog/699662-stephen-phillips-hostreviews-co-uk-lr_wx_klopm-unsplash.jpg" alt="Mobile hotspot" width="800" height="500" ></amp-img><small>Image from Unsplash.com<small></small></small></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reliable internet access is a necessity for efficient remote work. Those who work from home should already have reliable internet. However, it would not be a bad idea to get everyone a mobile hotspot.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There is a chance that the regular internet connection may go down, and having a backup would ensure that the workflow is not disrupted. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hardware devices like Karma and Verizon Jetpack MiFi are some of the best you can find, but they might not be available in your area. If so, research the market and see which hotspots are the best where you live.</span></p>
<h2>Screen Sharing</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Showing is easier than telling. If you have a colleague with software problems, you can share your screen and show them how they should deal with the problem. It is similar to looking over a colleague’s shoulder, except that you are in a virtual environment. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once again, Slack is a solid choice with its built-in screen sharing feature. On the other hand, if you do not use Slack, there are other good software, like Screenleap or TeamViewer.</span></p>
<h2>Screen Recording</h2>
<p class="text-center"><amp-img layout="responsive"  src="/assets/images/blog/729328-glenn-taubenfeld-x7_al8f5jec-unsplash.jpg" alt="screen recording" width="800" height="500" ></amp-img><small>Image from Unsplash.com<small></small></small></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the most part, you should be content with the computer’s built-in tools for taking screenshots. Simultaneously, a screenshot may not be sufficient, and you may need to send a video recording. But wait, do you really need a separate tool for screen recording if you can just share your screen?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, yes, because the person who needs to see it may not be available at the time of the recording, and you will need to send a video later. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zappy is a decent choice for Macbook owners, and Bandicam has one of the best recording quality. If you want to edit videos post-recording them, Camtasia could be a good option.</span></p>
<h2>Online Office Suites</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Office suites are no longer about desktop software. Connected online applications are better for </span><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/articles/how-to-ensure-remote-team-productivity" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><span style="font-weight: 400;">overall productivity</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Even the likes of Microsoft have introduced their suite package online.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can access Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in Microsoft Office Online. On the other hand, if you are not a fan of Microsoft Office, there are alternatives, such as G Suite with its Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more. </span></p>
<h2>Cloud Storage</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Collaborating becomes easier when you have access to the same </span><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://techcrunch.com/2020/11/17/dropbox-shifts-business-product-focus-to-remote-work-with-spaces-update/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cloud storage</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is possible to send certain files via communication platforms like Slack, or emails, but larger files will pose problems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dropbox is the go-to software for cloud storage needs. You can also upgrade to a better plan to get more space if the default option is not enough, though it has a monthly fee.</span></p>
<h2>Time Tracking</h2>
<p class="text-center"><amp-img layout="responsive"  src="/assets/images/blog/296117-lukas-blazek-uavyasdkzq8-unsplash.jpg" alt="time tracking" width="800" height="500" ></amp-img><small>Image from Unsplash.com<small></small></small></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trusting your employees is important, but time-tracking tools provide more than just a means to keep tabs on how everyone is spending their time during work hours.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some projects may require time tracking, so you know how much to charge clients. An employee may work overtime and needs proper compensation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As expected, there are multiple <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://blog.ezclocker.com/best-mobile-time-clock-apps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">time-tracking apps</a> available. The ones worth giving a shout are Toggl Track and Harvest. <br /></span></p>
<h2>Video Conferences</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Video conference tools are beneficial for more than just discussing work-related matters face to face. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remote work leaves fewer opportunities to socialize with coworkers, and having a means for it can brighten one’s day. After all, it is easier to relate and connect with someone when you can see their facial expressions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zoom is pretty much the default pick for video conference software, but you can explore other choices, such as Google Meet and Webex.</span></p>

    	<description>The most trusted website for numbering pages, unlocking, compressing, and repairing PDF files is accessible through all platforms and browsers. </description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tamper-proof feature of a Portable Document Format (PDF) file makes it difficult to edit or modify some components in the file. As you add more PDF files to handle, the chances of having PDF-related issues also increase. Nevertheless, problems can be easily manageable with PDFBear. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The most trusted website for numbering pages, unlocking, compressing, and repairing PDF files is accessible through all platforms and browsers. PDFBear is also a free software; all you need is a device and an internet connection. With this, let’s learn more about its tools and discover how it can solve your PDF setbacks. </span></p>
<h2>How To Put Page Numbers </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Putting page numbers on PDF seems quite complicated since it’s a tamper-proof file format. That is why it’s so important to partner with a tool that can help you with many needs, like numbering your PDF pages. You may use this tool anywhere because PDFBear uses cloud technology. Same process, same results.</span> <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://pdfbear.com/add-page-numbers-to-pdf" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add page to PDF</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by following these four easy steps. </span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Press the “Select Files” tab to upload the PDF file that you want to add page numbers. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wait for the system to complete the upload. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Please decide on the position where you want to place the page number. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Subsequently, click on the “Number Pages” tab, and after a few seconds, download the nicely modified PDF file.</span></li>
</ol>
<h2>Protect Your PDF File With Protect PDF Tool</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you manage documents with confidential contents, it would be best to secure those files by installing a password. Thankfully, PDFBear can help you secure your files in a matter of four clicks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">PDFBear’s Protect PDF tool uses a superior technology that ensures powerful protection for any file you want to lock. The 256-Bit encryption protocol utilized by PDFBear is an advanced technology responsible for keeping your files from unwanted people. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a minimum of nine characters, you can include alphanumeric characters, signs, and uppercase letters. To lock your file through PDFBear’s protection tool, please follow this quick process:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1. Select the PDF file that you want to protect and upload it to the PDFBear toolbar.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2. Next, please type your desired password in the box provided. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3. Afterward, click the “Encrypt PDF” button. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4. From there, the tool will successfully secure your PDF file with the password you chose; after a short while, you can download it to any device. </span></li>
</ul>
<h2>Unlock Secured PDF Files</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although setting up a password for PDF files is essential to secure the contents’ privacy, it can also be a headache sometimes. If your file doesn’t contain very personal information that needs protection, you may free your file from being secure, so you don’t have to type the password over again. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, if you can’t find the options to remove your password, it would be best to get some help from PDFBear. The Unlock PDF tool by PDFBear is the most trusted tool for password removal processes. You can have a password-free PDF file within seconds. To start the process, please follow the instructions.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Press the “Select Files” tab and upload the password-protected PDF file, or simply use the “drag and drop” feature for easier upload. </span></li>

You need to plan and manage your tweets and benefit from the opportunities that Twitter provides. Twitter Management Tools, in this situation, provide practicality, time and money-saving capabilities that will help you and your company.</p>
<h2>Why do you need a Twitter tool?</h2>
<p>With more than 200 million daily active users, Twitter is a highly competitive platform. Businesses, brands, influencers, celebrities, etc., promote products and themselves in order to make more money. <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/articles/tips-of-getting-more-followers-in-social-media-sites" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">Growing your account</a> in this tough arena is a daunting task.</p>
<p>In these circumstances, you need to first have a careful tweeting plan. Tweeting too much does not mean that you are a good Twitter user. This may make you seem like a spammer. So it’s important to share a post at the right time and at the right pace. Here, Twitter Management Tools may help you take the right steps.</p>
<h2>Advantages of using management tool</h2>
<p>Twitter Management Tools offer different types of services and options to utilize Twitter at the highest level. Depending on the management tool you choose, you can:</p>

<li>List your inactive followings and know who doesn’t follow you back,</li>
<li>Analyze your competitors,</li>
<li>Delete your Twitter history,</li>
<li>Obtain detailed analytics and reports.</li>
</ul>
<h2>What kind of a tool to use?</h2>
<p>When looking for a management tool, you'll see that there are a lot of different apps, programs, and tools available, all with distinct designs, features, and prices. Thus, you need to consider some principal issues:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Smart dashboard</strong>: As mentioned above, a Twitter management tool should provide you with practicality and efficiency. Therefore, a simple, efficient and smart dashboard is crucial.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Bulk scheduling</strong>: To reach the target audience on Twitter, you must post frequently and on time. Thus, the tool you choose must offer an efficient scheduling feature. </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Content Support</strong>: To grow your Twitter account, tweeting at the right pace is not enough. You should also create relevant and intriguing content. Hence, a Twitter tool that assists you in generating great content is worthwhile. Some tools also provide automatic content generation. Those are the most preferable.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Analytics and Reports</strong>: You need reports and analytics to plan your Twitter operation and promotion. Moreover, you need further analytics to see your tweeting performance, follower count, and engagement rate.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><strong>Tweet Deleting</strong>: One of the most preferred features of Twitter tools is deleting old tweets. You may sometimes want to eliminate an old tweet, like, or retweet. Searching for and finding them on Twitter may be difficult and time-consuming.

    	<description>So, to help you better optimize your content for SEO, I have put together a list of the (five) 5 free tools to get started. Thus, without any further delay</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You've put your heart and soul into creating a terrific article or blog post. But now it's time to optimize that content for search engine bots. However, people often struggle with getting their content to rank higher in search results. So, to help you better optimize your content for SEO, I have put together a list of the (five) 5 free tools to get started. Thus, without any further delay, let's explore these free tools to increase your chances of ranking higher on the first pages of search engines.</p>
<h2>Optimize Your Content for SEO – 5 Free Tools to Get Started:</h2>
<p>Suppose you know how to optimize your SEO content. In that case, you can rank higher in search engines. So, optimizing for SEO is simple with these five tools. But apart from these five tools, don't forget the importance of keywords and meta-data when writing your pieces. That is just as important as SEO work as well. So, let's start the list of the top 5 free SEO tools for content optimization.</p>
<h3>1.    MarketMuse – AI Content Planning and Optimization Software:</h3>
<p>The first SEO content optimization tool on this list is an AI-based content planning and optimization web utility. Its name is “<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.marketmuse.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">MarketMuse – AI Content Planning and Optimization Software</a>.”</p>
<p>MarketMuse is a freemium web utility specializing in performing content research and writing with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The developers of this tool have designed it to save time for marketers because it speeds up the process of content research, creation and optimization.</p>
<p>MarketMuse uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to prioritize the best content opportunities and produce state-of-the-art topic modes. This way, it can create content on any topic without considering its complexity. But apart from the discussed fortes, several other aspects of MarketMuse are also worth mentioning. So, let's discuss them.</p>
<h4>Why should you choose the “MarketMuse – AI Content Planning and Optimization Software” for SEO content optimization?</h4>
<ul>
<li  >The free version of MarketMuse allows users to perform fifteen monthly queries and handle ten projects with one free account. This factor is the reason for putting this tool on this list, as the restriction of the free version is enough to do the job for beginners.</li>
<li  >Unlike most valuable AI-based tools, MarketMuse doesn't ask for credit card numbers during its registration process.</li>
<li  >As I've mentioned, MarketMuse first performs research on your topic. Afterward, it prioritizes the best content by organizing it according to relevance. So, it is a handy content audit and inventory tool.</li>
<li  >MarketMuse contains a <strong>‘Content Briefs'</strong> module that provides a real-time text editor, content readability score, and internal and external linking recommendations. So, it provides all the tools to write like an expert.</li>
<li  >The topic models of MarketMuse provide interactive goals in the real-time text editor according to the users' content. Thus, it asks the users to achieve specific scores in their content to create SEO-optimized content.</li>
</ul>
<p>But despite its impressive guidance for content writers, MarketMuse is not entirely perfect. So, let's discover the areas where it falls behind.</p>
<h4><strong>Reasons to avoid the “MarketMuse – AI Content Planning and Optimization Software” for SEO content optimization:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li  >MarketMuse asks the users to input a business email during the account creation. So, the company has targeted this software for businesses instead of individuals.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Its <strong>‘Standard'</strong> and <strong>‘Premium'</strong> pricing plans are expensive for individuals because the company has developed this software for businesses.</li>
</ul>
<h3>2.  WriterZen</h3>
<p>Despite the <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://supplygem.com/publications/digital-marketing-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">increase in the ratio of digital marketing</a>, some keywords are unserved or unattended on the internet. So, to access those underserved or unattended keywords, SEO experts use the Keyword Golden Ratio (KGR) technique.</p>
<p>The Keyword Golden Ratio (KGR) is probably the only technique for beginners to quickly rank their websites on Google. So, considering the importance of KGR strategy, the second spot on this SEO optimization tools free list belongs to “<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://writerzen.net/home" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">WriterZen</a>.”</p>
<p>WriterZen is a shareware web utility that uses the KGR technique to perform keyword research. But apart from its keyword research module, the complete version of WriterZen is an all-in-one solution because it provides the following data (excluding the keyword research):</p>
<ul>
<li>SERP data.</li>
<li>KGR technique (with one click instead of manual analysis).</li>
<li>Top ten results and their graph.</li>
<li>Google trends.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other than the mentioned abilities, WriterZen also optimizes the content. So, SEO experts often claim it as one of the best all-in-one alternatives to <strong>‘Surfer SEO</strong>,<strong>'</strong> <strong>‘Squirrly SEO'</strong> and <strong>‘MarketMuse</strong>.<strong>'</strong> Thus, for some reason, if you don't like the first tool, you can try this one. But let's hover over some critical benefits of using WriterZen for content optimization.</p>
<h4>Reasons to prefer the “WriterZen” for SEO content optimization:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Like the first tool, WriterZen doesn't ask users for their credit card information during registration.</li>
<li>The <strong>‘Keyword Explorer'</strong> module of WriterZen eliminates the need for other keyword research tools because it provides complete detail of your keyword. To give you an overview, the comprehensive keyword report of this tool includes the following:</li>
<ul>
<li>Search Volume</li>
<li>Trend Cost Per</li>
<li>Click</li>
<li>Keyword</li>
<li>Difficulty</li>
<li>Keyword Golden Score</li>
<li>Keyword Trending</li>
</ul>
<li>The full version of WriterZen also provides access to its plagiarism detection module, making it ideal for content writers.</li>
<li>One of the prominent advantages of WriterZen over MarketMuse is it doesn't require a business email for registration. So, it is ideal for individuals as well.</li>
<li>The <strong>‘Content Creator'</strong> module of WriterZen uses GPT-3 powered AI-Writing Assistant technology to find the lacking content areas. This way, it can rebuild the content according to the guidelines of search engines and readers' behaviors.</li>
<li>With one click, this tool can create the best outline for any topic according to the practices and trends of top-charting competitors.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li  >The intuitive UI of WriterZen makes it easier for users to edit the outline according to their needs.</li>
<li  >WriterZen also suggests to users whether they should work on a keyword or move on.</li>
<li  >If you have bought the premium plan of WriterZen, you can cancel your subscription at any time.</li>
<li  >WriterZen provides real-time competitors' data, SEO analysis, and suggestions.</li>
<li  >There is no need to provide login details to your team members because you can directly take their feedback with WriterZen.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, let's talk about why to avoid using WriterZen for SEO content optimization.</p>
<h4><strong>Why should you avoid “WriterZen” for SEO content optimization?</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li  >Being a shareware web utility, WriterZen provides a free trial of seven days only. So, users will have to purchase its premium plan after seven days to use its services without interruption.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3.    Semrush – SEO Writing Assistant:</h3>
<p>Suppose the first and second tools are unknown or too complex for you.

<h3>4.    PrePostSEO – Online SEO Tools:</h3>
<p>The fourth tool on this free SEO tools for beginners list is a web utility of 95+ free tools. Its name is <strong>“PrePostSEO.com</strong>.<strong>”</strong></p>
<p>PrePostSEO is another freemium software on this list. But bloggers, SEO experts, students, teachers, and web experts consider this tool a free SEO checker because it does the job from an off-page and on-page SEO perspective without any cost.</p>
<p>As I've already mentioned, PrePostSEO contains a combination of more than 95 tools, the developers of this tool have divided the official website into the following categories:</p>
<p><strong>Domain Tools</strong> – as the name depicts, this group includes all the domain-related tools of PrePostSEO. So, this category is ideal for the experts of off-page SEO. However, some highlighted tools of this category are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Alexa Rank Checker</li>
<li>Backlinks Maker</li>
<li>Broken Links Checker</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Writing &amp; Education Tools</strong> – this group contains the essential tools for bloggers, students and writers. However, the following entries are the highlights of this category:</p>
<ul>
<li>Article Rewriter</li>
<li>Grammar Checker</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>More Tools</strong> – this category includes some additional useful tools for web experts, SEO specialists, students, and writers. But the following entries are the highlights of this category:</p>
<ul>
<li>AdSense Calculator.</li>
<li>PayPal Free Calculator.</li>
<li>Random Name Generator.</li>
</ul>
<p>According to the above description, it is clear that the working of each tool of PrePostSEO differs from the other. However, let's hover over the reasons to determine why you should choose and avoid PrePostSEO for SEO content optimization.</p>
<h4><strong>Reasons to choose the “PrePostSEO.com – Online SEO Tools”:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>  Using relevant keywords is not enough for SEO content optimization because internal and external linking also plays a vital role. So, the <strong>‘SEO-friendly URLs Checker'</strong> of PrePostSEO ensures whether the users have used SEO-optimized links or not.</li>
<li>  Content originality is another crucial factor of SEO-content optimization. So, users can use the <strong>‘Plagiarism Checker'</strong> of PrePostSEO to check the originality of their content.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li  >Suppose the plagiarism checker of PrePostSEO finds any content duplication. In that case, users can use the <strong>‘Paraphrasing Tool'</strong> or <strong>‘Article Re-writer' </strong>to remove the copied phrases.</li>
<li  >Producing reader's friendly content is another essential talking point of SEO-content optimization. So, users can use the <strong>‘Readability Checker'</strong> of PrePostSEO to check the readability of their content.</li>
<li  >You can use the browser extension of PrePostSEO to use its services on the go without opening the website.</li>
<li  >PrePostSEO also contains a smartphone application for both iOS and Android users. So, users can download its application to use its services on their smartphones.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Why should you avoid the “PrePostSEO.com – Online SEO Tools”?</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li  >The plagiarism checker of PrePostSEO often provides unclear plagiarism results. So, it is not an ideal solution to check content duplication.</li>
</ul>
<h3>5. Paraphraser – Best Paraphrasing Tool:</h3>
<p>As I've already mentioned, content originality is a significant talking factor affecting content's SEO performance. So, suppose a writer faces content duplication issues. In that case, he can paraphrase the content to avoid copyright issues.</p>
<p>However, the manual process of paraphrasing is challenging because the wrong paraphrasing techniques will also fall under the criteria of plagiarism. So, to avoid this, I recommend using paraphrasing tools. One such paraphrasing tool is <strong>“Paraphraser – Best Paraphrasing Tool</strong>.<strong>”</strong></p>
<p><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.paraphraser.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><strong>Paraphraser.io</strong></a> is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based tool that provides human-level paraphrasing without affecting the original meaning of uploaded content. It works like a human because it first analyzes the text context with the help of Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology. Afterward, it uses the detected context to produce state-of-the-art paraphrasing results.</p>
<p>However, let's discuss some key benefits of using Paraphraser.io to avoid content duplication problems.</p>
<h4><strong>Positives of using the “Paraphraser.io – Best Paraphrasing Tool”:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li  >Paraphraser.io is a freemium paraphrasing tool, as it allows the users to paraphrase a text of 500 words only with the help of its <strong>‘Fluency'</strong> and <strong>‘Standard'</strong> modes.</li>
<li  >This paraphrasing tool can paraphrase the content written in multiple languages. So, there is no chance of facing language barrier problems with this tool.</li>
<li  >It doesn't work on the synonyms-replacement technique to paraphrase the content. So, Paraphraser.io is a better paraphrasing tool than most automated solutions.</li>
<li  >Users can either upload the document file from local device storage or paste the copied content to use the paraphrasing engine of Paraphraser.io.</li>
</ul>
<p>Like the other tools, Paraphraser.io is not entirely perfect. So, let's hover over the significant drawbacks of using this tool.</p>
<h4><strong>A few drawbacks of using the “Paraphraser.io – Best Paraphrasing Tool”:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li  > This paraphrasing tool is not ideal for paraphrasing lengthy documents because you can paraphrase a document of 1000 words.</li>
<li  > For paraphrasing more than 500 words or to use the <strong>‘Creative'</strong> paraphrasing mode, users will have to purchase its premium plan.</li>
<li  >  Its premium plan is not worth-buying because better alternatives are available in exchange for money.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Bottom Line – the Conclusion:</h2>
<p>SEO plays a significant role in online marketing for businesses and companies. As much as 91% of your search traffic comes from Google. So, it makes sense that you need great content to improve your site's number of visitors from a search engine like Google or Bing.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter whether the content is informational, controversial, or funny – producing content according to readers' interests is the only thing that counts. Now you may be asking yourself how to create SEO-optimized content. However, it's not as difficult as you think.</p>]]></content:encoded>

        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A URL shortener is a tool that shortens long URLs in to short, simplified links that are easier to share and manage. This is done by replacing the original URL with a short, unique identifier that redirects users to the original website. The main purpose of URL shortening is to save space and make it easier to share links, especially on<a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/tags/social-media"> social media</a> platforms where the character count is limited.</p>
<h2>Advantages of Using a URL Shortener</h2>
