BEST ONLINE CALENDAR FOR CONSULTANTS & COACHES (AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS)

Many of my clients and class participants have asked me what I think is the best online calendar to use to book appointments with their clients.

I recommend vCita’s online calendar for service-based businesses as I’ve tried several online scheduling tools, but have found vCita to be exactly what my business needs. It’s made it much easier for me to manage my calendar, and much easier for clients to reach me — especially this time of year when I am extremely busy.

I’ve been using vCita since 2014, and I tell you, when I realized how much vCita was benefiting my business, I was hooked. I became a partner and began helping my clients to start taking appointments from their clients as well.

YOUTUBE TV PRICE INCREASE: HOW TO CANCEL YOUR YOUTUBE TV MEMBERSHIP (+ WHERE TO FIND & WATCH FREE MOVIES)

I have been trying to decide whether to cancel my YouTube TV membership for about a year now because I just simply don’t watch TV much. I only had it because I love the old, black, and white movies on Turner Classic Movies and King of Queens reruns.

I was trying to decide whether watching these shows once or twice a month was worth the $49 a month fee.

Well, today’s news regarding the YouTube TV price increase to $65 has helped me make that decision. As a current YouTube TV subscriber, it kind of feels like a slap in the face for them not to allow us to continue paying our current price, but it is what it is.
