How To Setup a Digital Menu Signage at a Restaurant For Free

One of the key struggles for businesses to show their menu on TV as a digital signage. There are solutions such as Screen Cloud and Novisign, but they are extremely expensive. Paying $20 – $24 per screen / month, and each restaurant have a minimum of 2 screens. It doesn’t make any sense to charge that much for such a solution and it can be costly, because some restaurants have 4 or 5 screens. After searching online for few days, we finally found an alternative to Screen Cloud and Novisign and it is completely free. The Bulletin is a magical free digital signage software that turned TV screens into digital menus. Right now we tested it on one TV screen and it is really amazing. The only issue is that it takes sometime to set it up, but afterwards it is really perfect.

All you need is the following:-

1- TV

2- Amazon Fire TV Stick

3- The Bulletin free account

Earth Class Mail – Turn Your Physical Mail Into an Email

I have been using Earth Class Mail for more than a year and it all started when I needed to turn my mails into emails. I knew such service exist, but I never knew it is that effective. All I did was forwarding my mails through USPS to my address in Earth Class Mail. I chose Los Angeles as the location to forward my mails to, and they have a lot of other locations. Now all I have to do is login at Earth Class Mail and decide which mails to recycle, and which mails to ship to my home. Sometimes I need the important mails such as credit cards and driver license. Once you recycle a mail, you can keep a PDF copy for reference, which makes the service extremely convenient. I pay around $100 a month for the service, and I believe that it is totally worth it.
