Even with web analytics tools, you don’t have all the tools necessary to get started tracking analytics related to social media. Why not add some more tools to your inventory that track detailed social metrics?
Would you like to know how they landed in your website? Did they see it in facebook or another website? or from the email link that you sent them?
If you want to do that go to bit.ly. When you use a URL shortener, it’s always a smart idea to use one that has analytics information, like Bit.ly. This will track information like number of clicks, traffic sources, and even at what time clicks occur.

How to use Time & Date
The next tutorial is useful and significant application for time and date conversion. It is free, easy to use and unneeded to download the application. It has substantial tools such as event time announcer, calendar, moon/sun calculator, time zone converter etc..
The most significant purpose of this application is the time zone converter. It is not only for virtual assistants and clients, this application can also use for our personal task. You can simply use this application if you would like to know the time zone of your friends or clients from foreign country. Time and Date will specify location, local time, time zone and UTC offset.
You will encounter some abbreviations such as UTC, CET, PHT, DST and GMT.
- UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is the basis for civil time in many places worldwide. It is also the time system used in aviation and is informally known as Zulu Time to avoid confusion with time zones and daylight Saving time.
- CET (Central European Time) it is 1 hour ahead of UTC
- PHT (Philippine Time) it is 8 hours ahead of UTC
- GMT (Greenwhich Mean Time) is in the same time zone as UTC but some places observe daylight saving time/summer time (DST)
- DST (Daylight Saving Time) is a way of making better use of the daylight by setting the clock forward one hour during the long days of summer and back again in the fall.
Below is the day and night view of the world map, it shows the current position of sun and moon.
You should try this application, below is my basic tutorial.

Our income is very important to us. Employees, Virtual assistants and entrepreneurs determine their financial gain through their income. It is significant for every individual that they are receiving the right amount to compensate their work. Many companies use time clock or bundy clock to find out if their employees are working on time. Some companies are using computerized time logger which automatically calculate hours of work. Free lancers may use application or tool to track free lance time.
My next tool to present is billing software. There are clients that will prefer to track every minute of work. The reason is they want to make sure that they are getting what they paid for. This tool can also provide statistics on how spends their time. It has multi user support, example the manager can login as administrator and subordinates as the limited access users. The manager can view each task, re-use task and project template. Data are protected, it has a secure login mechanism to protect user account from unauthorized access.
I created a simple tutorial on how to add project, client and time using easy time tracking application. Step by step procedures on generating invoices.
