In the name of good vibes that flow on a Friday, SNOBS gives you Fab Finds Friday: a roundup of handy, brilliant, beautiful, fun and informative stuff from the interweb-week-that-was.
With our “Fab Finds” categorised by the content sections that already exist here at SNOBS, it’s kinda like a big dose of everything we have to offer, but without us having to write it. Woo hoo! Fridays ROCK.
KNOW IT ALL is where we store useful information on all aspects of business, including the business that is your personal development. Read about target marketing, branding, leadership, driving profits, networking, increasing customer loyalty, etc.
FAB FIND: If you run, or help to manage, a business website you’ll agree it’s a constant “work in progress” right? It’s easy to get caught up tweaking and grooming, but one hugely important factor is usability – and it’s one thing you can’t improve on your judgement alone. Here are 3 great tips for improving your site, based on how others see it…

MIND YOUR BUSINESS
covers any topics you need to understand to keep your business in check, and ahead of the competition. From finance and system structures to work safety and commercial law – it’s all about setting up best practice plans for management, organisation and future goals.
FAB FIND: A good article from Manufacturers’ Monthly covering duty of care, employee negligence, working with solo tradespeople, etc.

FORWARD THINKING
aims to cover innovation and technology on the basis that staying ahead of the competition has gotta be easier if you foster new ideas. Cultivate creativity, embrace upheaval and “tech your time”!
FAB FIND: If you’re a new Mac user, and missing the pretty, colour email signature you created easily in Microsoft Outlook – here’s help. You’ll need html experience to follow this tutorial, which explains how to make your digital signature pretty again (in Mac’s Mail application). Yay!

STYLE, BEAUTY, YOU
covers fashion, fitness, health, design, wellbeing, hair, makeup and more! It’s all about you staying beautiful and feeling happy.
FAB FIND: Love Etsy, but get annoyed searching for Australian sellers (to avoid large o/s postage fees)? Try this all-Australian alternative. So much gorgeous stuff you could still get in time for Christmas!

TIME OUT
is where you’ll find stories and reviews on weekend escapes, overseas travel and much more. Can’t afford to leave your desk for lunch? That’s okay, too, because TIME OUT provides all sorts of tidbits to amuse, engage and pass the time.
FAB FIND: Incredible footage of an elephant giving birth at the Elephant Safari Park in Bali, earlier this year. Warning: it’s graphic, but truly an amazing demonstration of motherhood in the wild (well, sort of).

HANDY THINGS is not one of the content categories at SNOBS but we’re tacking it onto the end of “Fab Finds” cos damn there’s some handy stuff out there!
FAB FIND: Do you get inspired by all sorts of things online, and make little notes/tags/file saves that are all over the place? Bookmarked sites, screen grabs and image downloads you save in folders called “Look at this later”…. which you don’t, cos you can’t even remember creating the folder. Sound familiar?Then Evernote is for you! Lets you capture things (URLs, screen grabs, photos, notes, etc), which you can tag, store and find again later.
