How I Use Trello to Run My Content Business


Hi Reader,

I've geeked out on productivity apps for years. Nine out of ten are full of bloated features most people don't need.

All I need?

A way of seeing my work in one place and limiting the amount of tasks I work on each day.

I've stuck with Trello the longest because it's ideal for this type of work.

These days, I use Trello to manage my writing projects, content creation, and different parts of my business. I also use it to collaborate with other team members.

I recorded this complete guide to show you how to set it up, and how I use it for different projects.
