I'm going to share with you the 11 features that make Evernote massively powerful as a tool to

use in your daily life, either as an entrepreneur or as a busy professional.

If you haven't already created your account, I recommend that you do so. All you have to do is

go to evernote.com and in the top right-hand corner, go to the prompts to create your account

with your username and whatnot. I'm going to show you this is the web-based version of the

application, but as you know there's also a Mac based version of the application. And I will be

showing you a couple of features that you're able to have in the application compared to the

web app application. So I'm going to start with the web app features and then I'm going to

more right into the application features. And

I do believe that they do have it for PC as well as Mac.

So within Evernote when you get your account, the inside of Evernote is going to look like this.

You're going to have a left-hand panel that's going to show notebooks and tags. You're going

to have this column here which will basically show the notes within each notebook, and then

over here is basically where the note content is. So if you're new to Evernote, you're going to

find out that the way, the content, and the organization of the actual application is you have

your notebooks at the top, your notes within the notebook to be able to select and then content

within each note within each notebook. So I know that maybe a little confusing but I'm going to

make it clear for you by going through each of the features.

So within Evernote, again when you sign in this is what it looks like, and so the very first

feature that I want to show you is that you can create a series of notebooks, an unlimited

amount of notebooks within Evernote. I'm going to show you why that's valuable. So in here,

to create a notebook, you're going to come here you're going to click this downward arrow and

click new notebook and we're just going to call it "test".

And then the best thing about creating notebooks is that you can create notes within notebooks.

So as you can see here in the top right-hand corner, you have a new note and we're just going to

title it "do a test" and "a test" as the note content and you can click done. As you can see here

within the note test notebook, there was a new text that was created and then you have the word

test within the note content. And the best thing about this is you can go in here and actually add

more text and click done and you have your notes. So imagine, in each notebook you can have

an unlimited amount of notes that are in this notebook in and of itself.

So that moves me to my next feature that I want to show, feature number 2, which basically I'm

going to show you that you can quote what's called stacking notebooks. So for instance, say

you have a series of notebooks that you want to group under one specific category, you can do

that in Evernote very, very easily. So the way to do that, again I'm going to just create a brand

new notebook, that's 2. So as you can see here I have test and test 2 notebooks, and what I want

to do is, say for instance both these notebooks were different types of food and I wanted to

create like a super notebook and call that food notes, and this one would probably be Japanese

and this one would be Chinese, and I'm just using that as an example. You can use it the way

you want, but I'm just showing you how to work it.

What you do to create a stack, you click the notebook and then you drag it on top of test 2 and

then you let go of your mouse. And you're going to name the stack. We're going to do "food

types" save. So as you can see here it created a super notebook and subnotebooks under that

super notebook. And the thing is you can make it go big, make it go small, all that good stuff

and it's just a really, really great feature that makes Evernote so awesome because you can

really organize lots of information. And in all the videos that I create here on the YouTube

channel, you will see that this is really valuable. So stacks is the second thing.

The third thing that I want to show you; and I'm getting ready to go back to that one place with

the note; I'm going to refresh here. So the next feature that I want to show you is what are

called tags. So depending on how your brain works, my brain works differently than yours

obviously, but the next thing I want to show you is what are tags and why they're valuable. So

if you again think in the framework, you have your notebook, you have your note within the

notebook, and you have the content of the note within the notebook. And what's great is that the

tags allow you to create one more type of filtering mechanism within your Evernote notebook

to be effective in finding what you need, or using information in the strategic way to

accomplish goals and results and all that stuff. So I'm going to show you how to do that within

the web-based application.

So all you have to do is come up here and click edit and as you can see here there's alt add tags.

So what you do is you click on that and we're just going to do test tag. And once you're done

with that, click off, press done, and as you could see here there's a tag called test tag. Now, I'm

going to refresh for you to show you why that's valuable. If you notice in the left-hand column,

we have all of our notebooks up here, and in the bottom left-hand corner we have our tags.

So say for instance you have hundreds of thousands of notes in here, and they're all tagged

appropriately and whatnot. If you click up here in all notes, which basically again shows you all

of the notes that you have, and this welcome to Evernote note is what shows up immediately

when you first sign in, and actually instead of 10 features I'm going to show you 11 features. I

just now realized that I forgot one, so I'm going to explain what the Web Clipper is at the very

end. We write that down here.

So best thing about tags is that if you select the "all notebook" notebook and you press test tag,

it will only pull up the notes that are tagged with that actual tag that you created. So again, if

you can imagine depending on how your brain works, depending on what type of information

and certain things that you're integrating into your life, when using this application you'll be

able to use tags effectively. And again in all these videos that I've created for you, I will show

you certain ways to leverage tags as you integrate Evernote into your life to be more effective

as an entrepreneur or busy professional.

Next thing I want to show you that makes Evernote so awesome as a massive proponent of

Evernote is the search feature. And again, this is another filtering mechanism to help you find

information that you need in a quick, efficient way. So I'm just going to show you how it

works. So typically when I do searches within my Evernote, what I make sure I first do is click

all notes at the top, and then as you see here there's a search bar. And I, for instance say we

want to find the note that says test in it, all that you have to do is go test, search, boom there it is.

So it pulls up notes within notebooks with the words that you're searching for. And again from

a filtering mechanism from a "Oh I know I wrote that down in Evernote, but I just don't know

where it is" the search feature really helps you be effective in finding that type of information

when you need it most, so that's really good.

And the next feature that I'm going to show you which is feature - well let's see, 1, 2, 3, 4 - 5

on our list is the ability to share notes with people via a link. Whether you want to share it in

Facebook, share it in Twitter, share it in e-mail, this is a really, really great feature that

depending on how you use it or depending on if you want to use it you do have this option. So

I'm just going to show you how to do that real quick, so I'm going to back down to our test 1

notebook for this actual note, and I'm going to show you how to do it. It's really, really simple.

In the top right-hand corner, you're going to see if the share button with the downward arrow,

and then there's this menu that pops up. What you're going to do is you're going to click link,

and it's going to give you this link in this note URL, so I'm going to do a command C in my

Apple, or if you're on a PC you want to do control C copy it. You're going to close and as you

can see here, this is now shared and so if I open up a new window and I press control V which

copies it ,this is an actual public based note that I can share via e-mail. If I want to throw it into

Facebook, or I want to throw it into Twitter, you do have that option which is a really, really

great feature really, really great feature within Evernote that allows you to use it in a myriad of

ways depending on what your needs are as a busy professional or an entrepreneur, so I really

like this feature.

Now if you wanted to turn the sharing off of a specific note, all that you need to do is come up

here, press shared and press stop sharing, stop sharing, boom and you're done. So you can turn

it on, you can turn it off, depending on what you need to do, it's really effective. So I'm sure

your brain is swelling with ideas right now, but I'm just going to keep going.

So the next feature on our list, as you can share notes, you can also share notebooks which is

another great feature within Evernote if you're doing projects with teams that are remote.

Whether your friend is in New York and you have another friend in Indiana, or another friend in

Texas and you're in California you can share notebooks and create an entire project and

manage a lot of stuff within one notebook within Evernote which again it's a really valuable

thing so I'm going to show you how to do that.

And again, very similarly to sharing individual note you're going to do it the same exact thing.

So just again make sure that the notebook that you want to share is highlighted, and then the top

right-hand corner you're going to see the share button and it says share notebooks. So you share

the notebook, and then you basically select which one you want to start sharing and then it's

going to ask you what are the e-mails of the people that you want to share this with. And then it

will send the invites for your e-mail and then they can follow the process of accepting the

shared notebook. Very, very cool feature if you are managing virtual teams, or your teams

virtual, whatever it is that you do, it's really effective. So I really like that feature as well.

Now, another feature that makes Evernote so awesome is that as you all, we all have an e-mail

account, we all have an e-mail client that we're using whether it's Gmail or Mac Mail or

Outlook or Hotmail or whatever. One great awesome thing about Evernote is that you can

actually send stuff into Evernote via an e-mail address. And when you sign up for your

Evernote account, you're going to sign in with two notebooks already created. You're going to

have an all notes, which is standard. You can't delete this notebook. And you're also going to

have another notebook with a little star next to it.

Now I've renamed this notebook inbox, they don't exactly remember what it's titled but the

fact that it has the star that becomes what's called your default notebook which basically means

anything that you send into Evernote is going to land within this notebook. Which again, it's

just the way Evernote works, and I'm going to show you how to find that e-mail address so you

could start sending good stuff into your Evernote inbox.

So the way to do that it's really simple, you come up into the top right-hand corner and you see

your username. What you want to do is click that username and you're going to see settings. So

you want to click settings. And as you can see here it says e-mail notes to, and it gives you with

this really strange, weird e-mail address. So basically the way that words is - I'm going to go to

my e-mail account here real quick - and you know if I have a note that I want to send in, or I get

an e-mail from somebody that I want to send in to my Evernote, all that I do is I put up the

message or I press the forward button. I type that, boom, and that's my Evernote e-mail.

So anything that I get that I want to save but I don't necessarily want to delete from my

Evernote inbox, I can forward it on into the Evernote account, which again if you can imagine

the organization that you can create within that per stuff that you want to save but you don't

want to keep in your inbox because you want to keep your inbox clean, there's various uses for

this. And it's really, really effective for organizing and staying on top of your life to get more

done and less time and just be more productive and have a greater peace of mind, which is

really my reason for using Evernote within my life, along with a couple other systems that I set

up for myself. And I make it into those in later videos depending on how this content is

received by you guys.

So again, e-mail into Evernote is the feature that I just went over. And for the most part, a last

feature that you can integrate into Evernote in the web-based version is the Web Clipper. Now

what the Web Clipper is it's a plug-in that you can put into your browser that allows you to

save any types of pages that you come across online. So I'm sure that this is in Chrome, and

I'm sure that once you install the Web Clipper - I personally don't use it myself. If I need

something, I'll take a screenshot of it and throw it into Evernote as an attachment.

But if you want to save web-based stuff, what you want to do is download the Web Clipper, and

I'm sure based on the way Chrome is set up it would probably show up in the top right-hand

corner and it will probably look like the elephant logo of the Evernote thing. So say you go to a

website, you like what you see, you press the Evernote Web Clipper, you title the note, you may
