Never read, Everybody Writes by Ann Handley? Get to it…

…if you want to create great content with less struggle.

If you’ve read the book before, you still may want to get the revised and expanded edition (released earlier this year).

Super Simple Highlighter for Chrome

From time to time, I want to highlight content I read online — so I can return to the page and find the important stuff later.

I do this for my own personal note-taking. And I highlight content that I later share in online presentations or coaching calls.

I love this tool!
