What Are The Best Tools for Entrepreneurs?
The popular Q&A forum, Quora, gets several thousand questions every day, and tens of thousands of answers.
Those answers, particularly the ones which revolve around "the best tools for marketers," are a treasure trove of information.
Let's look at just a few of them...
The questions on the right, here, have a total of more than 10,000 active followers and more than a million views. They've received dozens of responses from businesses and marketers all vying for their link in the spotlight.
Quora has run a bit of code on each question's answers to automatically compile them into a single list, and they're valuable lists, don’t get me wrong. In total, they're probably some of the most valuable resources for entrepreneurs on the web - a compilation of tools, apps and resources to help early-stage businesses succeed.
The problem is in the organization. Quora’s code is only so good, and it’s resulted in Skype, auditing software, and Gmail all being filed under “Web Utilities.”
I thought it would be valuable to entrepreneurs everywhere to take all these tool-based lists, cross-reference, and clean them up a bit. In this resource, I’ve provided links to all the tools within these posts, organized them so you can more easily find what you’re looking for, and given a bit of context for the value of each tool category.

It's still free to try out, so why not give it a go? 😍
Of course, we will still give full support to all current Hiveflux clients. Only new registrations will be directed to Outplanr.

What Are The Best Tools for Entrepreneurs?
The popular Q&A forum, Quora, gets several thousand questions every day, and tens of thousands of answers.
Those answers are a treasure trove of information for entrepeneurs and digital marketers.
Let's just look at a few of them...
The questions on the right, here, have a total of more than 10,000 active followers and more than a million views. They've received dozens of responses from businesses and marketers all vying for their link in the spotlight.
Quora has run a bit of code on each question's answers to automatically compile them into a single list, and they're valuable lists, don’t get me wrong. In total, they're probably some of the most valuable resources for entrepreneurs on the web - a compilation of tools, apps and resources to help early-stage businesses succeed.
The problem is in the organization. Quora’s code is only so good, and it’s resulted in Skype, auditing software, and Gmail all being filed under “Web Utilities.”
I thought it would be valuable to entrepreneurs everywhere to take these valuable lists and clean them up a bit. I’ve provided links to all the tools, organized them so you can more easily find what you’re looking for, and given a bit of context for the value of each tool category.

How to Organize your Team with Groups
We've just added a new organization system for larger Teams, or teams across different departments - Groups.
A Group in HiveFlux allows you to allocate Projects to specific team members, giving them access only to those projects. This is particularly handy if you wish to invite clients to overlook a specific Project, a Freelancer to collaborate on just a couple of Projects, or if you prefer to fine tune exactly what each user is able to see in the company, instead of giving access across all projects.
You can create a new Group when you add a new User, or when you edit an existing User.
By default, a new User will be assigned to your Company. But if you can create a “New Group” instead, and this User will move into it.
You can then select the permission level of your User, after creating the Group. Users can be “Managers”, which means that they’ll be included in the Group but will be able to see everything else in the Company, including Projects they’re not assigned to, or they can be “Users”, who only get access to the Projects assigned to their Group and nothing else.
If you wish to include an external guest (a Client, for example), you can assign them to a Group and set their permission level to “User”, so that they will only see the Projects linked with the Group they’re in.
Now that we’ve created a new Group, we can add the Projects that this group will get access to.
You can also select existing Users from your User list, and move them to Groups, to organize them is structured Teams.
This organizing system is an alternative to the flexible HiveFlux approach of creating teams automatically when users are assigned Tasks in a Project.
