On February 10, 2014 one of my favorite marketers who always has a pulse on the tech world, Gary Vaynerchuk shared "Five Apps You Should Check Out." Check it out here: http://www.slideshare.net/vaynerchuk/five-apps-you-should-try-this-week
While I mean no disrespect, because really, I love me some Gary V. But his selections seemed a bit disappointing to me. Well I got your back Gary! Here's the five apps that have caught my eye, as a small business technology coach over at StartUp! (http://www.slostartup.com), that I think today's smart small business owners need to go check out. Stat!
11. 1. Canva
(http://www.canva.com)
Simple graphic design tool for
blogs and websites.
Once a upon a time, us normal
folk had to rely on graphic
designers to make designs that
looked good. Canva is a cloud
graphic design tool, that makes it
shocking simple to create
graphics, slides*, business cards and more.
*In fact, these slides were made in Canva. No joke.

(http://www.coschedule.com)
The social media editorial
calendar made for WordPress.
Managing a blog - especially one
with multiple authors, is hard!
Editorial calendars help with
that. Automating your social
media is convenient - that's why
we have HootSuite and Buffer.
If they had a beautiful baby, you'd
get Coschedule for WordPress.
