Chapter 3- Who Should Use Evernote and Why?

We are always looking for new and innovative ways to help us locate and gather information, so when a new one comes along, it is only natural that we will want to check it out for ourselves. Evernote is one of those apps that promise to help us gather information and use it when it is convenient for us to do so. This is the kind of application that can benefit almost anyone, from the student who wants to stay ahead in class, to the smart shopper who loves to benefit from bargains. Even the casual browser can take advantage of Evernote; in fact, the list of possibilities is quite extensive.

The Competition

Knowing that you have competition is one thing, but making rational decisions based on that information is something entirely different. With Evernote, the business operator can catch news and updates about what their competitor is up to on the fly. It may not always be possible to follow up on that information at the time, with Evernote that information will be ready when you are.

Knowing Where To Save

Whether you are a housewife, or the head of household looking for ways to save money, the Internet can help you do so. Unfortunately most of us don't have the time to sit down and either cut coupons or find out where we can get the best deals. With a Smartphone and the Evernote app, every second of the day that you have access to the Internet is an opportunity to sniff out those savings. With Evernote, you can take your savings with you and when the store owner questions the savings, you can show them where you saw it.

Improving On Your Education

The new generation of today will tell you that they don't know what they would do without the Internet at their fingertips to help them study. With a wealth of information and not a lot of time to do the research, Evernote has come to the rescue. All you need to do is to clip the article with the handy Evernote clipper, and go about your business. Later on, at a designated time, you can look at the article without trying to remember the web address.

More Research

You don't have to be a student to appreciate the benefit of research, the fact remains that research can be an important tool for everyone. Consider a reporter, a writer or a promoter, they can all benefit from information, but they don't all have the time to get it done. An Evernote clipper will give these individuals the flexibility to surf the web, grab articles and websites that they can use and review them when time allows.

Comparing Notes

You may not need to use Evernote as a research tool but there is every reason to believe that it will end up that way anyhow. As you peruse the Internet and you come across websites that you enjoy reading, a quick snapshot of them will bring them into your Evernote folder. These notes can then be shared with your friends through an email, Facebook, Twitter or some other social media site.

Take a Picture

Regardless of what you think about information gathering, there will always be a need for taking pictures and sharing them with friends. We are constantly taking pictures of friends, and sharing them with others through social media sites. With Evernote, the capability is there and can also be shared with other devices and the Internet.

Say Something Important

Voice notes are a great way to share information with others, especially when you are not in the mood to type. Whether you are a student, a housewife, or someone else trying to save the information, attaching a voice note (before or after) a clipping will do wonders to help you remember some key points. With both picture taking and voice note capabilities, Evernote will likely be the only tool you will ever need for gathering information. Evernote is simply one of those applications that we cannot do without and for those who have yet to try it out, now is as good a time as any.

As you consider the benefits of using Evernote and how it can help you in your activities, keep in mind that there are opportunities that have yet to be tapped. Think about the possibilities of Evernote being implemented by people who need to save any of their searches for later use. You can clip your articles on your PC, laptop, notebook, tablet and even a Smartphone, which makes this one of the most versatile apps on the market. Evernote is a FREE app and can be installed on most platforms, but even if you did not have a compatible platform, your account can be accessed through any Internet connection.

There is also a premium version for those who need more features, which can be upgraded for a small monthly fee. Considering the fact that this is a portable application that can be used by so many different devices, the user will have the ability to do their research wherever and whenever they have some time and an Internet connection. The basic app has many features like different notebooks, which is ideal for those working on more than one project at the same time. The user may be doing some research on an article they are writing, and come across a website that they want to share with a family member. This can be handled through opening more than one notebook and changing the one you decide to store it in.

Using Evernote for coupons is not where it stops as far as grocery trips are concerned, the app can also be used for creating grocery lists that go along with that trip. With the camera and note taking capabilities, users can take pictures and make vocal notes when they go house hunting. The sky is literally the limit when it comes to using this app; in fact the opportunities are limited to your imagination.
