So, if you have been to the site recently, you might have noticed that things have looked a little different (to put it mildly).
You may not know this, but the 2 year birthday for DocumentSnap.com is pretty soon. I knew I wanted to shake things up a bit for that special occasion, so recently I did a reader survey and asked you what direction that you wanted the site to go in.
First of all, I wanted to thank those of you who took the time to fill out the survey. It was super helpful.
To run through some of the changes I’ve made based on your feedback, I put together this little video (the choice of wearing a brown shirt in front of my brown cabinet was a little suspect, but anyways).
(Here’s a link to the video if you can’t see it).
Here’s a few main things I heard in the survey over and over:
- More focus on document management. What you do with documents once they’re scanned
- Focus on workflow – how you go paperless in the first place, what the steps should be, and how you stick to it once you’ve started
- You’d like to see how other people do things to get ideas for yourself
- Some people just want some extra help going paperless
I agree with all these points, so I’ve done a total rehaul of DocumentSnap. I’m not going to go through everything, but here are the key points:
- I’ve created a totally free 7 part e-course that takes you through going paperless, processing your documents, backing up, shredding, what to keep, and it gives some ideas that have worked for me for sticking to going paperless once I started. You can sign up for that on the home page of the site or on the sidebar of the blog
- I’ve created a newsletter that I’ll send out by email every week that will have additional tips for going paperless and sticking to it
- People who sign up for the e-course or the mailing list will get a bonus report I called 4 Ways To Tame Your Documents that drills down a bit more on the processing part
- To help us all share our paperless tips and workflows, I started making a forum, but then decided that since most people are already on Facebook anyways, maybe a Facebook page would make more sense. You can get to it from the sidebar of the site. When people post good tips or workflows, I’ll try to expand on them some more in an article on the blog
- I’ve had people ask me if I do consulting, so now the answer is Yes. If you’d like some extra one on one help, hit the Hire Me link up at the top of the site.
I have some more great stuff planned, but for now I just tried to make the site cleaner and clearer.
I’d love for your feedback, so you can find me on Twitter at @brooksduncan or @documentsnap, you can email me at brooks at documentsna dot com, or just hit the Contact link up at the top of the site.
Thanks again for everything over the last 2 years!
