Personal Development Software: What Do Bloggers Have to Show You?

What is the difference between the global society of 2000 and the global society of 2020? 

We would argue that the greatest difference is in the way people educate themselves, get news, and broaden their outlook. Two decades ago, people read books, watched TV, and listened to the radio. Today, people satisfy their informational needs through the Internet. People do not trust TV anchors or book authors anymore. Instead, they listen to bloggers, vloggers, and social media influencers.

In most cases, these people communicate with the public through Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, or Twitter. However, for some of them, these platforms are not enough, so they develop their own websites and mobile apps. In this article, we will look through the most interesting and inspiring coaching apps and self-development websites that most popular world bloggers offer us. So here it goes – the list of most inspiring social media people that the Keenethics team adores and of their self-development applications or websites.

The Tim Ferriss Show

Tim Ferriss has successfully promoted himself, his books and videos via YouTube, and yet, at some point in 2007, he has decided that this platform is not enough. He has developed a website for his personal blog “to build a community and learn from smart readers”.  Here, he stores all his videos, podcasts, and books (or the websites where to purchase them). This blog has its audience. For some, this website will come across as nothing but a bunch of not-so-interesting business and self-development ideas. But for some people, Tim Ferriss’s blog is a mind-changer. 

Regardless of what one may say about this web blog, Tim Ferriss reached his goal – to build a community.
