11. EVERNOTE
Evernote can become one of your most valuable business tools if you develop habits and set up
automation to save information, located it when you need it, and share it selectively with clients or
other business contacts. Because Evernote can search within PDF files, and uses OCR to search text
in images, just about anything you can get into Evernote from your computer, cell phone as text, or
cell camera is searchable later. It's a really efficient way to store information, but even more so, to
locate it later. Here are 50 ways in which I use Evernote in my real estate business.
Communication
1. Email notes right out of Evernote to anyone.
2. Take photos of plats, courthouse documents, etc. and send to Evernote from the field.
3. Take photos & text notes to pic message to Evernote to remember caravan/tour property
features.
4. Document new home construction progress with pic/text messages to special Evernote
address.
5. Again in new home deals, take photos/text notes to document change order completion.
6. As you move around the Web, clip images, pieces of text, or entire pages to a note.
7. For Google Reader users, the "Send To" link can be set up to send the feed item to a note.
8. If you're using a GPS enabled phone, text in coordinates to a note.
9. Instead of email drafts, unclutter email by working on developing items in a note, then email
the note
