TaskRabbit gets you in touch with friendly, reliable people who can help you get just about anything you need done, and put some free time back into your life.

I’ve posted 3 tasks so far, paid about on average $50 per job post and saved probably 100 hours of work by doing so.  Definitely recommend using this site to hire help.  My tasks can be done virtually, but you can also hire local help to run errands for you like walk your dog.  Pretty Cool!

When some of my clients started to expect more detailed reports and better results to keep up with their competition we had to decide on two things: 1. Hire help (which neither my business partner or I wanted to do) or 2. Work more hours (we didn’t want to do this either; we like our free time!) So what did we do to meet our clients’ expectations?  Well, after a little bit of research and some trial and error, we stumbled upon some tools that solved the problem to our dilemma:

1) SEOmoz.org

SEOmoz develops SEO software, provides a robust link intelligence API, and hosts the web’s most vibrant SEO community.  They’re based in Seattle, but they often found traveling the globe to participate in marketing events and meetups.  They also incredibly fortunate to have the most helpful and cuddly robot in the Solar System.

Usage Details:  Free Trial for 30 days then $99/mo thereafter

2) HubSpot.com

HubSpot’s vision is to provide a (killer) marketing application and provide great advice to businesses of all sizes enabling them to leverage these disruptive effects of the internet to “get found” by more prospects shopping in their niche, convert a higher percentage of prospects into customers and analyze the results to figure out what works for their target audience.   Note: What makes HubSpot so valuable is the fact that they have received funding from Google Ventures.  If you want to improve your site’s visibility that’s definitely something to consider!
