When the Web first became available to users, it was primarily about retrieving information. as it evolved in the 2000s, it became known as web 2.0 - a platform associated not only with consumption of information, but also with collaboration and participation. hubspot.com
FIRST THINGS FIRST
Your organization: was probably born before the internet took off
likely developed working habits in isolation of the internet
probably isn’t making the most of the internet
probably isn’t nearly as productive as it could be
How much does your org depend on the internet?

Our entire team is working in “real-time” for two to three hours in a day. We’re in three (sometimes four) different time zones. Combined we’re working up to 18 hours of the day. I love: The internet didn’t just make it possible to work anywhere. It made it possible to work with anyone.
It’s not where are we, it’s when are we.

Dropbox
It is surprisingly social. It’s an excellent way to segregate information. Sharable links making moving data super easy. Version tracking! Mobile amazing!!! Sometimes a browser free experience is a good thing. FREE, unless you love data [photos] (mobile app too!)
Dropbox has more than 50 million users. People save one billion files to Dropbox every 48 hours. Dropbox is installed on 250 million different devices. Dropbox has paying customers in 175 countries. More than half of Dropbox users are from outside the U.S. People in over two million businesses are using Dropbox.

Trello
Very free-form (pro and con) Mobile app They are developing faster than I can imagine! Great for showing the team, the whole project etc.. Not necessarily great for individual productivity FREE (mobile app is too!)
![Page 11: I AM DIGITAL AND SO CAN YOU](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050804/5549d777b4c905023a8b45ca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Very, very simple Mobile app Allows for “five minute” tasks that I don’t need to do today but I should do on “this day” or “someday”.

Balsamiq
Very amateur friendly. Web or desktop. Balsamiq’s two points on their website say it all. Remember, focus on collaboration = web. Don’t get in the way of the designer…

Google Analytics
Is amazing.
e-commerce & goal conversions ($$$) mobile % (technology in general really) events (how many downloads of x) referral traffic (where are they coming from?) advanced segments (slice and dice) visitor flow (where do they go?) reports (like a boss)

Visual Website Optimizer
Is amazing. Wysiwyg! A/B Testing. Heatmaps. Inuitive reporting. Test like the best of us without $25/mo Use WordPress or Drupal plugin and it’s a snap. 50% off for charities!
Optimizely.com for data without the heatmap

MailChimp Is amazing. Very amateur friendly but as robust as any email marketing system. They’re productivity is also astounding (constant tweaks and improvements). Example being recent drag and drop editor. Great process: • Someone writes it • Another designs it • A third codes it • A fourth sends it MailChimp also has tinyletter for simple needs and Mandrill for transactional email. 15% off for non-profits! Integrates with everything that integrates.

Vertical Response MailChimp
Re: The Patriot Act According to the Treasury Board of Canada, the chances that information would be accessed under the Patriot Act are remote. In fact, in the decade that the Patriot Act has been in effect, the federal government is not aware of any case where personal information about a Canadian was accessed under the act.

Formstack Is amazing, but not perfect. It gets you to the precipice of greatness. Almost anything is a form (donation checkout, survey, contact, application…) Form analytics show you who views the form vs. who completes it (and where they drop off!) Their integration hub is truly amazing, and it didn’t exist two months ago.

PayPal & Stripe Is amazing. Many people have learned to hate PayPal because of their idiotic behaviour 5-8 years ago, but Websites Payments Pro is amazing. $35/mo + fees. Easily take monthly gifts. Modify, cancel, suspend. Great for developers, good for gift processors. Use Formstack for key donation details. *key challenge will be reconciling monthly donations (expected versus actual) STRIPE: It’s early days but it is incredible at taking one-time gifts and pre-set monthly amounts. Both connect with Formstack very, very easily.

Database + web
A good database is one that has a clean user interface for processing, allows you to export everything, and allows for integration. Salesforce highcharts.com The best analysis of data is not done in a desktop application. It’s done on the web!
![Page 27: I AM DIGITAL AND SO CAN YOU](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050804/5549d777b4c905023a8b45ca/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Make the internet your first employee.

Don’t use services that don’t work well with others.
![Page 29: I AM DIGITAL AND SO CAN YOU](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050804/5549d777b4c905023a8b45ca/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Use multiple mediums.

Smaller teams are quicker.
People consistently underestimate the additional time needed by larger teams, with the forecasting errors growing larger as teams get bigger. Increasing a team's size can hamper coordination, diminish members' motivation, and increase conflict, the researchers say. (HBR, Oct 30, 2012)

Curiosity kills cats, not people.

Articulate what you can’t control, and let it go.

Embrace an abundance mentality.
Covey coined the idea of abundance mentality or abundance mindset, a concept in which a person believes there are enough resources and success to share with others.

Kaizen.
AKA flywheel effect.

You can accomplish anything in life provided you don’t mind who takes credit for it.
