A little known product called “Google Keep” has made it to prime time, and is slowly being rolled out across Gmail and Google Docs:
Here’s why it kicks ass for copywriters (and well, other “normal” people) also :-P
Google Docs is the best text editor on Earth, and the new Google Keep lets you keep a drawer full of snippets you frequently use:
The Google Keep icon on a Google Doc:
Click the icon, and the "drawer" appears with your saved "snippets":
Simply "click-n-drag" snippets into your document:
For example I like to frequently use quotes about copywriting in things I write, but I always forget them.
I'll still frequently use my quotes swipe file, but with Google Keep I can actually click-n-drag that quote right into a doc!
You can then edit, label, sort, and colorize your snippets:
This is how you can personalize your own Google Keep snippets. I personally use green for quotes, and purple for templates. Now you can make your own :)
Hopefully this useful tool saves you a few clicks!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
