Bringing Costs Down

If you are a small start up or just trying to conserve cash, here are a few tips you may be able to implement with ease and savings to your bottom line.

1) Use online storage. Dropbox or the like work great. You can share files out to contractors, employees or clients with ease. You will receive 2 GB at no cost, with the opportunity to earn more storage. At the same time, there is no worry of you losing your documents. Finally, you always have access to your documents, that is as long as you have access to the internet.

2) Work out of coffee shops. If you do not already have an office, use a few coffee shops. Always buy something to drink or eat while you are using the space, but even $4 every day is only about $100.00 per month for rent. For most client it work, it is acceptable to meet at coffee shops as well.

3) Use a social media like Facebook and a blog like Posterous or WordPress. Rather than immediately spending $2000 on a nice looking site, use social media or a blog. Set up a Facebook page for your business/ service. This provides easy engagement with your customers and fans. Don’t sell to them here, but engage with them. If you are not on Facebook, that is another issue. Also, use a nice looking free blog from Posterous or WordPress. All of the above are completely free.
