 <\/p>\n
Here are 5 quick and simple tools that that you can\u00a0easily integrate into your routine to help you run your online business more efficiently – starting today!<\/p>\n

1. Never Forget Your Password Again<\/h1>\n
 <\/p>\n
Imagine this, you are all prepared\u00a0to start on your\u00a0important\u00a0task of the day, only to realize you\u00a0have forgotten your login password and you cannot even get past the\u00a0login screen.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Sounds familiar? Many\u00a0of us have encountered this\u00a0situation before and\u00a0with\u00a0the increasing\u00a0number of\u00a0online accounts that we\u00a0have to maintain nowadays, it is near impossible for us to remember every single password that we use.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
If you have trouble organizing and remembering all your\u00a0passwords, LastPass<\/a>\u00a0is what you need.\u00a0I have been using this plugin for\u00a0the past 2 years and I absolutely recommend it!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"never<\/a><\/p>\n

What exactly is\u00a0LastPass<\/a>?<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
It is a browser extension (works in all browsers) which helps to capture your\u00a0password whenever you log\u00a0in to\u00a0a website for the first time, and it\u00a0stores the information securely in an online repository.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
So the next time you visit the same website, you do not have\u00a0to manually enter your password again because LastPass “remembers” it for you!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In other words, instead of remembering tons of passwords for all your different online accounts, you now only need to remember one<\/em> master password for your LastPass account and it takes care of the rest for you.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
For security purposes, it is always a good practice to log out of your LastPass account before you shut down your\u00a0computer.\u00a0This is to ensure that your password details are kept secure\u00a0in the event that your\u00a0computer is\u00a0lost or\u00a0stolen.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Forgetting passwords and struggling\u00a0to retrieve them is a huge time waster. Try LastPass for free<\/a>\u00a0and say goodbye to all these problems :)<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
2. Storing\u00a0Your Files In The Cloud<\/h1>\n
 <\/p>\n
If you ever experienced a nerve-wracking\u00a0computer breakdown that wiped out\u00a0all the\u00a0data and files that were\u00a0saved in your\u00a0computer over the years, you would know how important it is to backup your data regularly.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
But honestly, how often do we actually perform\u00a0backups for the data in our computer?<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
That is the reason why I love Dropbox<\/a> \u2013 in fact I think\u00a0it\u00a0is\u00a0one of the greatest technology inventions in\u00a0recent years!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Not only does Dropbox help to keep your data safe, it is so simple and hassle-free to use!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"dropbox\"<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
All you need\u00a0to do is to\u00a0download Dropbox<\/a>\u00a0(which is free)\u00a0and when\u00a0it is successfully installed, a dedicated folder called “Dropbox” will be automatically setup in your computer .<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
You can then start to save your files in this\u00a0Dropbox folder and they will be accessible from any<\/em>\u00a0computer or device that has the Dropbox app installed\u00a0and logged in with the\u00a0same\u00a0account\u00a0details – this is how powerful cloud technology is!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
With Dropbox, you don’t have to worry if your computer is damaged or lost, because you can easily retrieve all your data\u00a0by simply installing Dropbox on a new computer and logging in with your account details \u2013 your files will be\u00a0right there<\/em>. Imagine how life-saving that is!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
There are many other great uses for Dropbox<\/a>, and the great news is,\u00a0Dropbox is free to use<\/a>\u00a0and it comes with\u00a02GB free storage space!<\/p>\n

3. Finding Free Products To Give Away To Your Subscribers<\/h1>\n
 <\/p>\n
Building a mailing list should be one of the top priorities for every online business.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
One of the common ways to do that is to attract\u00a0your website visitors\u00a0to subscribe to your\u00a0mailing list by giving them\u00a0something for free in exchange for their contact information.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Question is, what can you give away, especially if you are new and you do not have your own digital products? No worries, there’s a way.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
What you can do is to purchase PLR (Private Label Rights) products.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In brief, PLR means that you purchase\u00a0the legal rights to modify\u00a0the digital product and sell it off at any price you like.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
I have been using\u00a0IDPLR<\/a>\u00a0for years and it is an excellent site where\u00a0you can purchase\u00a0quality PLR products.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
They have plenty of digital\u00a0products on various topics and I believe you will be able to find a suitable product<\/a> to give away to your visitors\u00a0for subscribing\u00a0to\u00a0your mailing list!<\/p>\n

4. Creating Your Own Customized Call-To-Action Buttons<\/h1>\n
 <\/p>\n
If you have a website, one of the important\u00a0elements that will help to increase conversion on your webpage is the use of attractive call-to-action buttons (over\u00a0plain-looking hyperlink text)\u00a0to lead your web visitors to take desired actions.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Depending on the nature of your business, a conversion can be defined as:<\/p>\n
