Freelance Writing: Simple Tips on Complicated Topics
Going Mobile With Your Freelancing
Applications abound to provide communication mobility for everyone who’s constantly on the go or who depends heavily on their smart phones. Of course, reviewing them all might be a total waste of time. Thus, I’ll suggest some applications that I, as well as some of my colleagues, found useful.
Here’s one to get you started – Opera Mini Browser, mobile edition. This is probably the best browser for mobile devices, because it offers a plethora of functions – its operates practically the same as your standard PC browser. It differs in that it’s compressed into a package for smart phones and ordinary cellular phones.
This next app will be useful for Android users – it’s called GDocs. It’s basically Google Docs with the following difference: The standard Google Docs app for mobile devices allows users to review the documents, but there are no editing options. With this app, you can actually edit the content of your Google Docs database.
If you create presentations frequently using PPT, then the following will be useful for you – RemoteDroid, It allows you to connect your phone to the projector and/or laptop to control your slides in the presentation. There are a number of other utility options available. I really enjoyed using it, because when I’m making a presentation, I don’t like to stand in one spot – I like to walk around, speak to people more closely, engage them with my gestures, and so forth.
Speaking your thoughts is a lot faster and easier than writing or typing them. That’s why you might want to use the next app – RecForge Audio Recorder. It allows you to record any useful thoughts or ideas on the spot. This app is more for journalists, but I know that some of our freelance writers also work in freelance journalism, so it might be useful for you folks. This is one cool-looking app, too. When you are recording something, you feel like one of those hotshot reporters from the NY Times, or Washington Post, etc 
Remember the Milk is one of the best personal management tools available. There is actually not much to add. The link provided opens up a number of ways to use it, including iOS, Android download options. There are a lot of criteria, which you can use to sort your tasks. Plus it can sync with your e-mail service (given that it’s one of the major providers – Google, etc). I’m sure that harried freelance writers, and anyone who is simply busy, will find it useful.
There are tons of other useful applications, web sites and online resources, which might be useful for freelance writers. There is still much to explore, and we try to plow through masses of stuff online regularly.. We depend on our own experiences, and those of our friends, to inform you about products that might be helpful for freelance writers.
