Is it secure?

• An Evernote representative stated in a recent webinar that Evernote uses the same security when passing data that banks do. If you trust your bank, you can trust Evernote

• Another great feature is if you have delicate information such as a password you are storing in a note, you can highlight the text, right click and encrypt the data to make sure no one could ever access it.

And this is free?

• Evernote starts out with a free version that has most of the basic features that the paid version has

• With the free account you can upload up to 60MB of data per month. With the paid version, that gets raised to 1GB of data every month.

• Increased file size from 25MB to 50MB• Offline notebooks• Note history to see earlier versions• Faster image recognition• Top priority support• Allow others to edit your notes• Create a secure PIN lock for your mobile devices• Hide ads• Make PDF’s searchable

A Couple Definitions• Notes: A note is any individual entry into Evernote. A note

can be a note you typed, a photo you took, a website you clipped, an audio recording, or an email you forwarded, or more.

• Notebook: A notebook is a collection of individual notes. Think of your notebook in school. You had the wide-ruled pages and on the inside cover you may have had a pocket to put other notes or items all related to that one subject. You can have one notebook, but for real estate I am going to show you why you will want to have more than one.

Definitions• Stack: A stack is a collection of notebooks. For example, you can have a stack

called "Buyers" in which you keep all of your buyers’ notebooks, and another called "Sellers" In which you keep your sellers’ notebooks, or just a stack called “real estate” in which you kept all your real estate related notebooks.

• Tags: Your tags are attributes which you apply to your notes. You can search by tags or select certain tag groups and see the notes with just those tags. This allows you to see similar notes on a subject even though the notes may be in separate notebooks. Give a lot of thought to your tag structure as you will not want your tags to get out of control.

One example of how tags can be useful is if you scan your receipts into Evernote. You could tag them with “receipt”, but if you track two types of receipts, for tax deductions and for reimbursement, a better tagging structure would be "tax deductible" and "reimbursement

Sharing Notes / Notebooks

• If you want the person you are sharing the notebook with to be able to edit any of the notes, then the person doing the sharing needs to have the $45/year, $5/monthly premium account.

• If you work with a partner and only one of you has the paid account, then the person who has the paid account should be the person who shares the notebook with the other.
