Jobs Eugene Mischenyuk, social promotion specialist

Today our "guests" a man who knows all (or almost all) of social marketing that can increase traffic to the site through social networks. Eugene will tell you what is his job, and what uses to this software and hardware.

What do you do in your work?

I am an entrepreneur and SMMschik (what a terrible word). Team leader of the young and small agencies "Factory Dialogues". We help companies of different sizes become visible on social networks and establish communication with its clients, providing daily support for their business pages. Accordingly, operation as a project, and a routine, daily.

Agency our small (8 people) and, despite the office in the city center (we are based in Latvia), almost all the time we are working remotely. Our customers and employees are in Russia, the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia), in London and New York. It just so happened that copywriters, community managers, designers and programmers to easily work from home. Yes, and I prefer to work from a home office - do not waste valuable time and money on the road. Plus many distractions in the office, and productivity often limping.

How does your workplace?

Workplace in the office is just a desk and a laptop. Nothing more.

Workplace home office more habitable.

So, left to right: a cow; My MacBook Air 11, is connected to it recently bought a monitor, keyboard and mouse; speakers for beauty (all listen through headphones); coffee mug and three half-liter bottles of water. This is my life hacking. On the day you need to drink at least 1.5 liters of water. Make it part of a half-liter easier. All this within the framework of my new diet and lifestyle. Over the last 3 months, I lost 16 kilos and reached their desired weight.

More than anything, except phones that are photographed, but about it later.

What hardware are using?

I Honorary makovodov, with the experience of more than 5 years. My first MacBook I bought in 2007. It was a white MacBook, which has served me faithfully for almost 5 years. He is still faithfully serving, only now my wife, who walked inherited after buying aluminum MacBook Air 11.

This is my favorite tool for the job. 11-inch display is quite happy with me. At home, however, I connect an external monitor. This is the case if you have to write something or do some simple design.

Since the release of the first smart phone, I no longer with them and not with tears. I can not imagine how to live without the Internet on your phone. I begin with the first HTC with Windows 6.0. It was this stylus once. Since then, much water has flowed, and was visited in my hands a lot of different telefonchik from Nokia to iPhone. However, after the iPhone 3G, I still moved to Android, as fully imbued with the theme of cloud sync through Google services. Now I have a HTC Desire S, with the latest firmware Android 4.0. Overall, an excellent, convenient and intuitive phone. His chosen after a year in the Samsung Galaxy, which was 4 inches. For my little palm the phone turned bolshevat. However, now again look toward larger phones. But it is not earlier than a year or two. Desperately trying to develop in the direction of minimalism and against excessive consumerism of everything! (So ​​read "Layfhaker")

What software use?

On the laptop I have is MacOS X 10.7.5. A new axis has not yet passed. I can not find time for this process, but be sure to do so before the end of the year.

Since I'm just a user of the cloud (to all and from everywhere you can get it), I have been actively using all available means. For example, I did not have a local folder with documents. Use Dropbox - once directly all files stored there. Also install Google Docs and the new Yandex, but they do not go in, more like a backup.

Gmail + Sparrow. I honestly tried to set up a new Mail.app, not once. He stopped suit me about 3 years ago. Since then, customers have been different. I stopped on the Sparrow. However, when it was purchased by Google, I blew it in the hearts and moved to the web-version, but a month later returned, he too convenient. I have a lot of mailboxes, and they all boil down to one worker. Actively use a variety of filters. Mails not otvlekyut as filters tuned to your inbox gets only important messages. (I confess, sending Layfhakera enters the daddy «Later»)

Evernote. That's really from whom I have a complicated relationship, so it is with a green elephant. I'm leaving it to him, then again I come back. I can not figure out how best to adapt to your work and life.

Skype + Imo. To communicate only Skype. It connected Facebook contacts. When Skype can simultaneously use multiple accounts, I will marry him. Joke. On the phone I Imo, where exactly all accounts and loaded. I have to be always in touch, so Skype is extremely important. However, when it is necessary to focus, I close it and to work, work, work.

Word + Excel + Powerpoint. Without them nowhere. Once upon a time I tried to use iWork, but it's not. While nothing can replace MS Office.

Google Docs. For smaller documents using Google Docs. There's enough functionality, but if you need to arrange everything is beautiful, then back to MS Office.

Pixelmator. I'm not a designer tenfold. However, sometimes you have to do something. Previously, I was Photoshop, but then I switched to Pixelmator and began to sleep like a baby. A great thing if you are not a professional designer, and lover.

Chrome + Safari. That's got to Internet browsers. For a long time sitting on the Chrome, which was used as various extensions and various apps. Now, however, increasingly it became to sit at the Safari. He somehow less cargo system up and running more bright. Probably because it does not have all this mad body kit.

Do.com. For project management we use Do.com. Prior to that, he tried Insight.ly, turned out to be hard. Do.com - a great product, but for some reason it has recently become a very buggy. Thus, thinking about the new migration and look for something new, convenient for the team of 8 people with different levels of access. While I tend to Asana, but is not fully decided.

Addiction to Google services I still present. All my contacts are stored at Google, there, on the Picasa, and all of my pictures. Once the hard drive on the white MacBook is dead at one point, with all the pictures, which I miraculously recovered, I'm pumped to get on the gourmet server. However, the backup is still on the second computer. Photos from your phone on WiFi automatically downloaded to the same.

Is there a place in your paper work?

Yes there is. I tried to switch completely to electronic media. But I could not. I like to pee pads and handle. I write, what to do, ideas and more. However, I do not keep their notebooks. All important infa always have in your computer and phone.

Is there a dream configuration?

My configuration dreams - is its absence. I have always something to me and I like it a lot. Life in this century is wonderful!
