This post from Entrepreneur lists what essential items to include on your site and how to use them to boost your biz.
Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
Have you ever thought to yourself “I’ll just send them a quick email” and then spent too much time trying to attach a document or image from your cloud account?

Cloudy is a great app that makes it possible to attach almost any cloud file to an email. The app works with Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Picasa, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and direct URLs to help send emails fast as lightning. No more wasted time!
