Screen Capture & Video Editing Tools
Snagit by TechSmith
Screen capture image and video tool with editing and annotating features.
How/When to use:
I use this ALL the time. The minute I press the Print Screen button on my keyboard the world of screen capturing is at my fingertips. Then what makes it funn is I can annotate and add arrows, circles, text and more on the image. Then I can copy and paste it into an email or save for a tutorial, etc. The uses are endless

Calendar Booking Systems
Over the years I’ve tried so many systems. Most are REALLY good. I’ve landed for myself at the moment on this first one:
Book Like A Boss
I must confess I waited a long time to set up my account for no good reason other than avoiding what I thought would be a complicated system to learn. Low and behold, it was SUPER easy and the more I set up, the more features I wound up using. I LOVE…
-
- That I can set up both appointment booking calendar and “product” that people can buy
- The SMS reminders it sends out
- The integration with email marketing tools
