These days doing a skill is great, but doing it quickly and efficiently is better. Automate systems using softwares within your business and personal life, putting those simple tasks on autopilot.
Send Contracts and Request Signatures
Send, receive and manage signatures using DropboxSign. I use this software for sending contracts or auto-payment permission forms to clients. DropboxSign (formerly HelloSign) offers multiple subscription levels from free (for small businesses just starting out with unlimited self-signing and 3 free signature requests per month) to $25 monthly (for businesses with multiple employees who need many signatures per month).

Cash back for business and home purchases
Raise your hand if online shopping is the only way you shop! I can buy groceries at 10:30 pm on a Sunday or order clothes for my son while brushing my teeth in the morning and feel accomplished without leaving the house – sign me up!
I use Rakuten to earn cash back for my everyday online purchases. Simply create an account, add the browser extension or download the app, and find your favorite stores. Depending on the promotions offered, a percentage of your total spent is earned as cash back. Once you reach a $5 threshold, you receive a Big Fat Check.
