SMALL BUSINESS INFORMATION.
SBA website is a treasure trove of
information and assistance. It's loaded with general business
management help, plus tons of technical assistance. Here's a
government site that really aims to help. Even has free sample
business plans to download. |
 |
BUSINESS RESEARCH,
REFERENCE. The JJ Hill Reference Library is one of
the preeminent business reference libraries in the country.
Access the kind of serious research and information that you
need to make sound decisions and stay informed about your
industry. You're not likely to find this kind of stuff
searching the likes of Google and Yahoo. Bonus: the
people are great. |
 |
EMAIL NEWSLETTERS. This is the
best resource I've seen or used publishing an e-zine or email
newsletter, and well worth even the higher price. Get Boost Business With Your Own E-zine
by Alexandria K. Brown. The "E-zine Queen," lays it all
out from what software to use to how wide your text can be.
Very readable and understandable. I use it and
highly recommend it. Subscribe to her free weekly email
newsletter. |
 |
BUSINESS PLANNING. Business Plan Pro
2008 is the latest, greatest version of the
leading software program to help you write your business plan
and keep it updated over the years. I've taught entrepreneurs
with it over the past seven or eight years and use it myself.
Includes over 450 sample plans, step-by-step instructions. An
investment in success. You'll use it for years. |
|
ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE.
If you're not managing
your business' finances, you're not managing your business.
QuickBooks makes it easy, understandable, and
time-saving. Plus, you can get up to 20% off QuickBooks products + FREE
shipping through my site. Just
click the link. This is the industry-standard for small
business financial programs. I use it daily and recommend
it. It's especially good for all of us non-financial
types! |
|
EMAIL SERVICE. I checked out
lots of e-mail services when I started my e-zine, or email
newsletter. Constant
Contact was the simplest for me to get
started on. It's proved to be a great service to work with.
Lots of templates to select, and you can customize any of them
to your colors and fonts. Their customer service is superb
over the phone. |
