I’m currently managing influencer marketing for several projects and have transitioned from Safari to Google Chrome. I’m seeking free Chrome extensions that can assist with:
-
Efficient Start Page: A customizable and informative new tab page.
-
Text Messaging and Email Tools: Extensions that offer fast template creation, text correction, and generation, excluding Grammarly due to its cost.
-
Productivity Enhancement: Tools to improve personal concentration, time management, and overall workflow efficiency.
Please share the tools you use to boost productivity in these areas.
I recently switched to Chrome for influencer marketing too, and one thing that changed my workflow is a customizable start page.
I use Momentum for a clean new tab with to-do lists, weather, and daily focus. It keeps me motivated and organized first thing in the morning.
For quick access to social profiles and tools, Toby is a lifesaver. I keep all my influencer dashboards and spreadsheets neatly organized by project tabs.
With these two, I can open Chrome and immediately see everything I need without hunting for bookmarks.
Templates save me so much time when reaching out to influencers. Here’s what I use:
-
Gorgias Templates: lets you save reusable email and message templates directly in Gmail. I write a campaign once and reuse it across multiple influencers.
-
ProWritingAid: a free alternative to Grammarly for basic grammar and clarity checks. Helps me sound professional without paying for premium.
-
Clipboard History Pro: I keep common phrases and hashtags handy for copy-paste, which speeds up outreach drastically.
Honestly, combining these tools with a good template workflow has cut my messaging time by at least 50%.
Staying focused across multiple campaigns can be tricky, so I rely on productivity extensions:
-
Strict Workflow (Pomodoro Timer): keeps me on a 25-minute work/5-minute break rhythm. Perfect for managing multiple influencer campaigns without burnout.
-
Forest: gamifies focus by growing a tree while you work and blocking distracting tabs. It’s surprisingly motivating!
-
OneTab: I usually have 30+ tabs open, and this converts them into a neat list, freeing memory and reducing distraction.
With these, I can stay on top of all campaigns without losing focus or slowing down my machine.
