In recent years technology has become our best ally when performing annoying, long, repetitive or boring activities. For me, keeping a transparent control of my expenses and finances people in general is a difficult task.

However, keeping track of finances has helped me reduce expenses, determine what I'm wasting my income on and how I can save more money in less time.

I want to share two applications that helped me control my personal finances, are available in Android and iOS, are intuitive, easy to use and have the necessary tools to optimize our finances and even help us improve our total income.

They say that there is no good entrepreneur with broken personal finances, therefore, it is necessary that we learn to control our pocket and to invest in a more intelligent way.

• Fintonic

It is a well-known application in the world of finance, it allows us to record bank movements and perform balance balances. It's free and we can get it on both iOS and Android. Is able to show us the expenses we have had and help us determine how to save, improve and account for our income.

He offers us the help of a personal assistant who advises us on how to dispose of our finances, how to stop wasting and how to invest the money better. In my experience, this personal assistant is one of its best features.

It is advisable to control both daily and monthly finances, giving us the opportunity to record our expenses safely.

• MoneyControl

This is a slightly more complex application than Fintonic, since it allows us to photograph the invoices of our customers and enter the data on the platform, recording each of our expenses in order to graphically show us how we have invested the money.

It is possible to synchronize it with Dropbox and iCould, it is a free application available on iOS and Android. We can use it to monitor family expenses, allowing us a good control of the economic status of our home.

Its platform has an easy-to-use Interfax and is a dynamic application. It allows you to make and share PDFs, automatically generating the payments that we have to make periodically and also gives us backups to have backups in case of any inconvenience.

In my opinion, having an application that helps us with our personal income is of great advantage, both to learn to skimp on expenses and to save time, effort and avoid the need to manually post weekly or monthly finances.

8 consejos claves para ser un mejor escritor

Aprender a redactar de forma que el lector comprenda el mensaje trasmitido podría ser un poco complicado, sobre todo cuando no contamos con las herramientas adecuadas. Con el tiempo escribir se ha vuelto una rutina para mí y por este motivo, he decidido preparar una serie de consejos útiles para la comunidad de Goletrax y sus nuevos escritores.Soy profesora en lengua y literatura y por tanto, me encanta enseñar a las personas el arte de leer y escribir. Presta atención a las siguientes recomendaciones básicas para empezar a ser un mejor escritor hoy. 1. Lee más Leer y escribir van de la mano. Para escribir más y mejor, debemos entender la importancia de la lectura frecuente, sobre todo por el uso de los signos, las formas expresivas y los estilos de redacción. Poco a poco y sin darte cuenta, aprenderás a crear tu propio estilo y forma de escritura. 2. ¿Sobre qué vas a escribir? Planificar sobre la redacción que vas a realizar es una de las mejores formas de evitar muchos errores comunes. Antes de empezar a redactar un texto, asegúrate de tener algo importante qué decir y define cómo deseas expresarlo a tus lectores. Además de las palabras, fíjate en las ideas generales que vas a trasmitir y la mejor forma de hacerlo.3. Inspírate Es imprescindible tener un foco de inspiración para escribir. Para algunas personas la música, visitar un parque, estar en silencio en su habitación e incluso leer artículos en sitios web podrían ser buenos motivos de inspiración.4. No sobrecargues el textoEl secreto es la simplicidad. ¿Puedes hacer el texto más sencillo de leer? Hazlo sin pensarlo. Utilizar expresiones o ideas muy rebuscadas le resta calidad al contenido redactado. Es fundamental que el texto sea natural, claro y veraz.5. Aprende a respetar el orden lógico de las frases Desde la escuela nos enseñan la fórmula mágica de la redacción, solo que nunca nos hemos ocupado de prestarle suficiente atención: “sujeto, verbo y complemento”. Ese es el orden más adecuado para elaborar frases y si lo respetamos, con seguridad el texto quedará mucho más limpio y claro. 6. Lee lo que escribes en voz alta No existe mejor forma de determinar tu nivel de escritura que leyendo tus propios escritos. De esta forma podrás ubicar las fallas en el flujo de la redacción y tus errores más comunes, logrando determinar qué necesitas mejorar con prioridad. 7. Práctica a diario Crea un hábito de escritura. No es necesario redactar 15 páginas a diario, sino tomar en cuenta que escribir frecuentemente te ayudará a mejorar con rapidez, optimizando la calidad literaria del texto. 8. Usa las herramientas que tengas a tu alcanceLos subtítulos, bullet points, negritas y numeraciones son buenos instrumentos para mejorar el resultado del texto. Sobre todo, cuando quieres resaltar o separar las ideas. La manera cómo nos expresamos representa nuestra carta de presentación. Por tanto, es necesario aprender a expresar nuestras ideas y escribir de una forma más clara. Anímate a ser mejor cada día y vivir el continuo aprendizaje en el arte de la escritura.

8 tips to be a better writer

Learning to write so that the reader understands the message transmitted could be a bit complicated, especially when we do not have the right tools. Over time writing has become a routine for me and for this reason, I have decided to prepare a series of useful tips for the Goletrax community and its new writers.I am a teacher in language and literature and therefore, I love teaching people the art of reading and writing. Pay attention to the following basic recommendations to start being a better writer today. 1. Read moreReading and writing go hand in hand. To write more and better, we must understand the importance of frequent reading, especially by the use of signs, expressive forms and writing styles. Little by little and without realizing it, you will learn to create your own style and form of writing.2. What will you write about?Planning on the wording that you are going to make is one of the best ways to avoid many common mistakes. Before you start writing a text, make sure you have something important to say and define how you want to express it to your readers.In addition to the words, look at the general ideas that you are going to transmit and the best way to do it.3. Get inspiredIt is essential to have a source of inspiration to write. For some people, music, visiting a park, being quiet in their room and even reading articles on websites could be good reasons for inspiration.4. Do not overload the textThe secret is simplicity. Can you make the text easier to read? Do it without thinking. Using very elaborate expressions or ideas detracts from the content written. It is essential that the text be natural, clear and truthful.5. Learn to respect the logical order of sentencesFrom the school they teach us the magic formula of the writing, only that we have never taken care of paying enough attention: "subject, verb and complement". That is the most appropriate order to make sentences and if we respect it, surely the text will be much cleaner and clearer.6. Read what you write out loudThere is no better way to determine your level of writing than reading your own writings. In this way you can locate the flaws in the flow of the writing and your most common mistakes, managing to determine what you need to improve with priority.7. Daily practiceCreate a habit of writing. It is not necessary to write 15 pages daily, but take into account that writing frequently will help you improve quickly, optimizing the literary quality of the text.8. Use the tools at your fingertipsSubtitles, bullet points, bold and numbering are good tools to improve the result of the text. Especially when you want to highlight or separate ideas.The way we express ourselves represents our cover letter. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to express our ideas and write in a clearer way. Encourage yourself to be better every day and live the continuous learning in the art of writing.

Aprendí a hacer cupcakes de chocolate, he aquí la receta

Hace algunos días mi hermana cumplió años y aunque no tengo experiencia en temas de repostería, me animé a hacerle unos cupcakes de chocolate. Al principio no creí que quedarían como las fotografías que vi en internet, sin embargo, el resultado final me dejó muy complacida. Para realizar esta receta necesitamos ingredientes muy básicos que por lo general, encontramos en la alacena de nuestra casa. No te preocupes si no has preparado cupcakes o pasteles en otras ocasiones, realmente no es necesario ser un experto para hacer estos deliciosos cupcakes de chocolate. Su textura esponjosa y el rico sabor a chocolate dulce me recuerdan a una torta que hacía mi abuela hace muchos años atrás. Quiero compartir mi aprendizaje con la comunidad de Goletrax y lograr que todos sean capaces de elaborar cupcakes caseros de chocolate. Ingredientes:Como dije anteriormente, esta receta no requiere de ingredientes exóticos ni nada parecido, se trata de ingredientes comunes que podemos encontrar en la cocina de nuestra casa. • ½ taza de mantequilla a temperatura normal• 1 taza de agua caliente• 1 1/3 tazas de harina de trigo • ½ taza de cacao • 1 cucharadita de polvo para hornear • ½ cucharadita de bicarbonato de sodio • 1 taza de azúcar morena• 2 huevos• 2 cucharaditas de vainilla• 1 pizca de sal• Chispas de chocolate para adornarLa preparación es muy básica y estoy segura que se divertirán mucho. Para realizar estos cupcakes necesitamos una batidora, un bol para batir, una paleta de madera y capacillos para cupcakes del tamaño de la bandeja.Para empezar, debemos asegurarnos de precalentar el horno a 180°C. Agregamos el cacao al agua caliente y comenzamos a mezclar con la paleta de madera hasta que obtengamos una mezcla homogénea, dejándolo a un lado mientras se atempera.A continuación, hacemos la unión del bicarbonato, la sal, la harina y el polvo para hornear, asegurándonos de tamizar la mezcla. Luego, batimos la mantequilla durante un minuto y comenzamos a agregar el azúcar poco a poco. Es momento de agregar los huevos y la vainilla. En este punto de la preparación debemos agregar la mezcla de la harina a la mantequilla, asegurándonos de tamizarla bien para evitar los grumos. Una vez que tengamos todo esto incorporado, agregamos la mezcla del cacao y batimos hasta que se haya unido todo de manera uniforme. Ya casi será el momento de meter nuestros cupcakes al horno, pero primero debemos colocarle las chispas de chocolate a la mezcla. Una vez que tengamos los capacillos en la bandeja para cupcakes debemos empezar a llenarlos, midiendo un poco por encima de la mitad del capacillo. Ha llegado el momento final: hornear los cupcakes de 15 a 20 minutos a unos 180°C. Para comprobar que están listos, podemos introducir un palito de madera en la mitad de uno de los capacillos, observando si sale húmedo de mezcla cruda o si ya está cocido por dentro. Un buen consejo: enharinen las chispas de chocolate antes de colocarlas en la mezcla, esto evitaran que se hundan o si derritan del todo con el calor y recuerda no abrir el horno durante la cocción de los cupcakes. El resultado final serán unos cupcakes suaves y ricos, que puedes decorar con chocolate derretido. Espero que te haya sido útil esta receta y que como yo, te animes a intentarlo.

Tips To Get the Best Out of Google+ Marketing

It is no longer news that marketing has long gone digital; everything seems to work well on the internet, but that’s only when the right strategies are employed. We understand the use of social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. for marketing but have you ever considered Google+? Google+ is another social site you can use for marketing. Whether or not you have used Google+ or planning to use it for marketing, here are some essential strategies to help you get the most out of it. These tips will help increase the visibility of your posts and as well give your social media marketing the required boost to drive traffic.Use a source link when adding your content to Google PlusGoogle+ has not been playing well with URL shorteners, so when possible use a link directly from the source. This helps Google more efficiently populate the content, including the name of your blog, post title, description, and image. The content will also be cross-referenced with any +1 "likes" from other Google+ users. Much like sharing URLs through other social media sites, you just copy and paste the original link to the "Share what's new" box on your homepage.Widen your circlesYou have to add friends, engage them and share your post. Your posts will remain visible when you engage others. Growing the number of people in your circles to share with will give your content more reach.Set your posts to public This will help you have more circles and having more creates a wider concentration for your friends. Doing this also tells Google that all of your posts can be shared publicly and Google will allow them to be indexed in the public search engine. Every time you post, select the public option.Fill out your profile as thoroughly as you feel comfortableOver time, your Google profile will create itself depending on choices that you make. Take a look at your social media profile and decide what areas you feel need more information added. Take part in the Google+ communityHow much you actively participate on Google+ can affect your relevance on the social media site. How many people you reach can help you be ranked higher.Spread the +1 button around all of your sitesThe small piece of code is easy to embed on all of your web pages, blogs, e-commerce sites, etc. The easier it is for readers to click on your share buttons, the more likely it is that they will do so. Easy sharing helps extend the reach of your content through social media.These tips can help maximize your post/contents visibility on Google+ and hence reaching your target audience to boost sales. Do not rush all that; you need patience to succeed. Carefully implement these strategies while you wait for the results, sure, you’d get the expected results when done rightly. Have you used Google+ before or you’ve implemented these strategies recently? Let’s hear from you how it worked for you.
