For all of the greatness that the internet has to offer, one of its biggest downsides is how distracting it can be. The good news is that you can customize Chrome by adding features and functionality by selecting extensions from the Google Chrome Web Store. There is a vast range of tools that can help you become smarter and more productive with just one click. We would like to share with you five Chrome extensions that as a marketer you absolutely must be using right now.
1. Grammarly
Want to get immediate feedback on your latest work-in-progress as you write? Grammarly offers a free Chrome extension that checks grammar for clarity and correctness while you are typing. Perfect for checking blog posts, tweets, and other marketing material. Grammarly’s artificial intelligence can even suggest adjusting the level of formality, confidence, and friendliness so that you can make the best impression. It’s a dream come true for marketers!
2. Figure It Out
One of the great benefits of conducting business in the world today is the ability to easily connect with people wherever they are. The hard part is figuring out the best time to reach out or simply schedule your post. Figure it Out (or FIO) shows information about a collection of time zones of your choosing, as well as a rough visualization of the state of daylight (or night light), and even lets you know whether that location is celebrating a national holiday. Simply brilliant and beautiful to look at too!
