Using in an Odysen Network
If you’re a marketing professional, or if in a small business or freelancing and at least put on the marketing hat every once in a while, or daily, you can add these and other RSS feeds into the news reader of the appropriate folder. Maybe the folder is called Marketing, or Website or just plain SEO. Either way, to start adding your feeds, click the tab labeled News, followed by the “Create” button.
This way, you have an easy reference regardless of how frequently your using, maybe browse through over your first cup of coffee in the morning. If you find and read an article that gives you a new idea, as you’re already in your Odysen network, you can just click on the appropriate application, jot it down to go back to later, and continue going through your feeds, updates and finishing your coffee. Some examples of using a few of the other applications:
- Notes: This could be a note to write down a quick summary or outline of a tip or suggestion you learned about.
- Actions: Capturing an idea that you agree with, it applies to your website or blog and would like to get it down before forgetting about it. When adding an action, you can also set the priority (1-10), owner, due date and other variables to help keep things properly organized.
- Events: If you find out about a conference, workshop, webcast or other activity on a specific date and time, you can add it to Events, maybe even set up an email alert if it’s something you need to prepare for.
You can also add new websites you find or share the folder with other users in your network.
Hopefully you’ll find some of these blogs useful with your SEO activities, feel free to add others that you think should be noted.
