How to Use Dropbox
Dropbox. Intriguing name for an application but the name really speaks for itself. When you use Dropbox, literally, it is easy as "dropping" or dragging your files to your Dropbox folder.
It serves as, one, storage for your files. aka "back-up". Once you signed up for an account, you automatically get 2GB of free storage. But if that is not enough for your files, you may upgrade for a certain fee.
Another feature of Dropbox is file synchronization. You may be able to share your folders or files to other people in the Internet.
To better get a full grasp of what I am talking about, below is my tutorial.
Voice calls from Skype
Skype is a software application enabling users to make voice calls over the internet. The great thing about skype is that it is free!
One great feature of skype is the screen sharing. This is a great tool for VA's to be able to communicate to their clients and their needs.
I have been using skype for quite a time now and I have found it very satisfactory. I hope you readers out there do too. Here is my tutorial to help you out in using Skype.
How to use Google Call Phone
Through this new innovation made by Google, you can call any phone right from Gmail. That is through the use of Google Call Phone.
Dialing a call works just like a normal phone by using the Google Dial pad. Just click "Call Phone" at the top of your Chat list and dial a number or enter a person's name. Calls for US and Canada are free while a low rate is charge for other countries. This is helpful especially for those who have loved-ones who are in US and Canada or more-so for VA's. No more fees for calling clients. Yey!
Here is my helpful tutorial on how to use Google Call Phone.

Here is my tutorial on Intuit Billing Manager.

Making Forms using Google Docs
Thanks to Google Docs. Creating forms has never been this easy...This is my first time to encounter this application. I have been using Google Docs for storing my files and documents. It is a great tool that VA's can use to aid them with their works with clients.
Google Doc's Form does not limit to the creation of online survey forms but you can create different types of forms. Also, your form can be easily embedded to a blog or a site so that it can be easily accessed. No printing of hard copies needed. The great thing about Google Doc's Form is that once respondents answers your questions, it is automatically consolidated into a spreadsheet.
To learn more of how you can use Google Doc's Forms, read my tutorial below.
Word Documents to Adobe Acrobat Format
Probably this is the shortest tutorial I have ever made. I came across Doc2pdf.net. The site shows you how to convert your documents in word format to pdf files or Adobe Acrobat format. This is just in one click! No need to download any application. Just upload your file to their site and in a few minutes your files are converted.
I was supposed to make a tutorial about pdf hammer but the site is under maintenance so I could not access their site. Anyways, here's the tutorial I made on how to use Doc2pdf.net.
