Sometimes life gets in the way of your day to day marketing tasks. It just happens. If you’ve got an iPhone you might just be able to keep up with daily tasks using apps. You won’t be able to get everything done but you’ll find a surprising number of apps that help improve your daily processes.
Below you’ll find iphone apps in several different categories related to online marketing tasks. These are just the tip of the iceberg. All apps are free unless otherwise noted.
Social Media Marketing Apps

Pinterest – What did we ever do before Pinterest? Anything you can do on their site you can do with this app.
Local Business Apps

eCommerce Apps
Square – This is an app and hardware. This allows you to easily take credit card payments on the go without a merchant account. Truly revolutionary for any merchants that need mobile abilty
Paypal – This is Paypals answer to Square. It does a lot of the same things plus gives the merchant the added benefit of Paypal’s existing systems.
Analytics, SEO, and SEM Apps

Productivity Apps
Google Drive – Manage your Google documents, upload documents or pictures, and share. You can’t create new spreadsheets or presentations yet. That’s this apps biggest pitfall.
Dropbox – share any kind of files with anyone, anytime. This app is a lifesaver and a big help when trying to make sure a collaboration group has all of the resources it needs. This and Google Drive are very similar.
Evernote – Super handy tool that will digitize your documents. Just take a photo of that receipt and you’ve got a searchable, digital version of it for safekeeping.
Keynote ($9.99) – If you’ve got a need for making presentations while on the move this is your app. It’s not as good as the desktop version but it’s very serviceable.
Prezi – This app allows you to control prezi presentations. It doesn’t allow you to edit or create new Prezi’s though.

I don’t use iPhone or Apple products, as they are incompatible with Linux. Would be nice to know whether or not these and/or similar APPs are available for Android. I know Google Drive is, though I’ve had trouble getting it to download and install.
For those of you who do not yet know, not only is Apple anti Open-Source (as is MicroSoft), but recently it was revealed how Apple uses cheap Chinese slave labor to build their products. The building burned to the ground, killing almost everyone inside… And this on the week they released the iPhone5.
The news media reported about a building that not only housed 79,000 workers (not a mis-print), but they lived and worked in the same building, 7 days a week at long excruciating hours; all of this so they wouldn’t have to pay AMERICANS to assemble their products. Yet they want AMERICANS to shuck out hundreds of dollars for the iPhone (which by the way is far INFERIOR to the Android) and make them billions in the process, all in the name of Wall Street, who is also screwing America left and right.
If all of this offends anyone, especially Apple users, I apologize for the inconvenience, but NOT for the truth.
I am all for ALL Americans beginning their own freelancing, contracting, and/or small home-based business. But I am also vehemently against buying ANYTHING from a company who exploits foreign workers at the expense of American jobs and supporting violations of human rights here or abroad. Apple is guilty of all of the above.
Very good written information. It will be useful to anyone who utilizes it,
as well as yours truly :). Keep up the good work – looking
forward to more posts.
Seriously… this is a good web site
