We are going to check out the ten best and most useful websites today, from editing photos directly in your web browser to making it easier for others to schedule time with you. Those are just a few of the websites that we're going to look at. Hi everyone. Kevin here today, it feels like we're in the 90s. We're checking out cool websites. But to be fair, websites have gotten a lot more advanced since then. All right, let's check this out. The first website is Edit Photo. If you need to make quick tweaks to one of your photos, this is an excellent tool to do that. There is no login required, and you simply drag and drop your photo. In here, I'll take a photo of an average looking guy to see if we can make it look better. Within the photo editor, you have all the tools you would expect. You can rotate, you can flip, and you can crop over on the side. You could also apply different filters. You could adjust the brightness, the contrast. You can resize. All the tools are over there and look at that. We didn't have to make any changes to this photo because it's already perfect up in the top right-hand corner. You can export as a PNG or a JPEG. You could also export as Web, which is a new file format developed by Google. It maintains a higher quality image with less space compared to PNG or JPEG. You can also just copy the image directly to your clipboard. Next up, we have the website alternative too. Net. This helps you find alternatives to just about anything. Let's take the software Photoshop as an example. It's a fantastic image editor, but it costs what, let's see what alternatives are out there. Here we have Gimped. This is an excellent option. If you want to learn how to use GIMP, check out the video up above. We also have Affinity Photo Critic, paint. Net Photonic. These are all magnificent options, and many of them are free. At number three, we have Calendly dot com. It makes it really easy for other people to book time with you. You know, when you try to find a meeting time that works for everyone, and you just end up going back and forth again and again. Yeah, you don't have to do that anymore. You can create a booking page. Here's my page. You can share this URL with others. Let's say someone wants to meet with me for 30 minutes. They can click on this option, and then they can choose a day and time. And these days and times reflect what's available on my calendar. And yes, as a YouTuber, my calendar is pretty open. Why do you think I left my full time job at Microsoft? My calendar did not look like this. Once someone books time, it will reserve that slot on your calendar. You can set up different event types like a one on one or a group meeting, there's also a really cool feature called Workflows here. You can set it up, so it'll send a text or an email reminder to all of your attendees automatically. Furthermore, you can also set it up, so it sends thank you notes. It also integrates into services like Zoom WebEx and Microsoft Teams, so your meeting information is automatically incorporated. The basic version is completely free to use, and if you're willing to pay, you can get some of the more advanced functionality. At number four, we have doodle dot com, and this is yet another service that makes scheduling meetings even easier. With Doodle, people can vote on their favorite time. In the top right-hand corner, let's click on Create a Doodle. Here, I could type in the basic information about my event. On the next screen, I could connect it to my calendar. Or here I could simply select a few times that work for me. On the next screen, you can set various pool settings. Then on the following screen, I could type in my name and my email address. And finally, I can now share this out with others. I can copy the link, or I could email it out. People can now come in, and we can find consensus on the best time. Once we do that, Doodle will automatically send out a meeting invitation to all of our calendars. At number five, we have diagrams. Net. And just like the name implies, you can pull together things like flow charts.org, charts, wireframes, network diagrams, and the list goes on and on. There is no login or registration required. You can use it for free on the web, or you can even download a free desktop app. You can start from a massive catalog of templates. You can save your file to One Drive to Google Drive, or even just on your local computer. Not only that, but you can also work together with others on a file. Not only that, but you have a massive catalog of shapes that you can choose from as you build out your diagram. Here, I pulled together a sample flow chart for the Kevin Cookie Company, but please don't share this with any of our employees. I don't want them to realize how little management does in the cookie making process. At number six, we have the website user benchmark dot com, and this website allows you to compare the performance of CPUs, GPUs, and even more so, let's say, for example, that you're in the market for a new laptop from Dell dot com, and one laptop lets you get five processors. Or you could also decide seven. Now, I'm guessing the seven is better. I mean, it has a higher number, and it also costs more, but how much better are we talking about? And is it worth that additional price? I'll select multiple choice here. Likewise, I can type in my question. Likewise, I can also put down a few different options. Once I'm all set, I can click on the present and now my audience can go to mentee dot com. They can type in this code and as they vote for the different options, we'll see the results in real time. Not only can you use this in your browser, but Manta meter also integrates into PowerPoints, Google Slides, and keynote. At number eight, I'll keep this one brief because it only applies to my US audience. We have free tax USA dot com. I've used HNR block and Turbo Tax, but I like free tax USA dot com the best. It's designed in a really intuitive and nice way. It also handles the most complex tax situations with ease. You could have rental property, you could run a business. You can buy and sell stock and this will handle all of those situations. But best of all, the federal taxes are completely free to file and state taxes are only $15. At number nine, we have ten minute mail dot com, and this is an email address that lasts for ten minutes. Let's say you sign up for a service, and they want an email address. You could provide your actual email address, but you might also be signing up to join their mailing list. And maybe you start getting a lot of spam. Instead, you can provide a throwaway email address that's only good for ten minutes. You can start from one of these many templates. The website editor offers intuitive tools that you can use to pull together the website of your dreams. I mean, look at this beautiful website that I pulled together for the Kevin cookie company dot com. In fact, I even have a video right up above that. I'll show you step by step how I pull together this beautiful looking web. And if you're willing to put forth $10, you can even have a dot com domain go along with your website. All right, well, let me know down below in the comments. Did I miss some awesome websites that I should include? Next time around to watch more videos like this one, please consider subscribing, and I'll see you in the next one.
