@debbie-hemley  I freaking love Evernote!!! I utilize for my entire life. For work I share notes, images etc that my partner needs. I use it to store my project timecards, cause I can always find them and use them even if I’m not at my desktop. I put all my blogging topics, and to do lists into it. I also house all my marketing calendars in Evernote. It’s the BEST!!

Very Cool!

@amyhallbiz No I don’t do any Evernote coaching. Have you?

@kristi-hines Alright, alright, you convinced me!

I absolutely use Evernote as a blogging tool! It’s amazing. I can’t imagine blogging without it. Here are just a few of the ways I use it every day:

Topic ideas list - Great for when I think of something “on the fly.” I can just call up the app on my phone or iPad from wherever I am and add it to the list.

Article Clipper – With the Chrome Evernote Clipper widget, I can clip anything I’m reading and put it in whatever notebook I want. You can have a “Read it later” notebook, an “Ideas for inspiration” notebook, a “How to” notebook or organize it by topic – WordPress, Twitter tips, Facebook help, Blog ideas, etc. I can then access these articles when I’m ready to write.

Stop & Go – I love that I can start something one place and pick it up somewhere else. I often write for a few minutes on the iPad while the kids are running around the house, and finish the post later on my computer. I don’t ever have to worry about losing what I wrote or wondering “where did I put that?”

Mobility & Synchronicity – I love that I can go from my work computer (mac) to my home computer (pc) to my phone (droid) to my iPad and everything is right there, in exactly the same format. 

Client meetings - I always clip graphs & charts & great little nuggets of information on my desktop. Clients love when I pull them out on my iPad at meetings. “Oh yeah, I just saw something about that… Here it is…”

I also use Evernote for a lot of personal projects. My favorite is recipes. I find something I want to make online, I clip it in Chrome, I look up ingredients via my phone at the grocery store and follow the recipe on my iPad in my kitchen. 

Pictures on receipts – that’s a great idea! I hadn’t thought of that one!

@deannagibbons Yes, definitely like the receipts idea, too!
@socialamateur Really appreciate you sharing your ways of using Evernote for your blog posts. Article clipper will be a big help.
@debby Happy to hear that this is of interest to you. Good luck with it.

@swrightboucher  Good tip! Thanks for sharing.

I had not heard of Evernote before reading this thread, and downloaded it a couple of days ago. Phenomenal!

I am still working my way around it but it’s pretty user-friendly. Using it for my blog editorial calendar, and have already started using email to send myself some reminders about cool articles, pictures, or stuff I want to remember for either twitter or blog post later on.

Many thanks for all the feedback!

I love Evernote too – I have a blogging notebook and in it is a note for topics I want to write about, a note for possible guest posting sites, a note for promotional ideas, a note for possible contests and giveaways, a note for people I want guest posting on my site, etc. Evernote is fantastical.

My second time coming back to this thread!   @socialamateur  @jesskupferman  – just added some new wrinkles to my own Evernote – thanks for the great tips.

@socialamateur
Fantastic comment and guidelines.  Evernote was sitting on my desktop unused for few months now and i was wondering what app should i use for organization of articles etc. I think I got myself an answer !!!

Happy to provide my two cents. There are a lot of tools out there that bloggers say they “couldn’t live without.” I have two – Evernote and Sprout Social. (Well, WordPress too.) Evernote keeps me organized and connected without much effort. It’s a lifesaver. Hope you find some great uses for it too!

@debbie-hemley I love Evernote and use it for almost everything I need to remember or do, especially since it’s easy with my tablet. It’s 3G and I take it everywhere.

 @socialamateur – I never heard of Sprout Social. I am looking over their site. What do you like/dislike about it? How do you personally use it? Just want to figure out if it’s a good fit for me or not.

@charlottewood Funny how enthusiastic Evernote users can be! I think the satisfaction of feel organized and on top of things goes a very long way.

Best,
Debbie
