Cutting your computing costs
I want to help you save Cash and I am not going to ask you for a dime in return.
Every year I save hundreds of euros by not spending any money on software. I wanted to find a more economic way of getting systems for my business – a move inspired by the Sage Software in a quote I had received. I now know it is entirely possible to run my business on free software. You will not learn this trick on any business course. Even the most savvy of small business people know very little about the methods I am give you here.
Perform these three simple tasks to start saving money.
* Spare ten minutes every day to search on the term for the tool you need.
* A copy of Evernote or similar to help you record your findings.
* Spend 10 mins. everyday giving your findings a very quick try.
It took me about for weeks on and off spending max twenty minutes a day to discover all of the tools I am ever going to need. Here is a short cut for you, a list of the great software I use everyday to get the job done.
On the left you will find software that in most instances is free (with the exception of a few which have upgrades with more features to paid versions) and on the right to make it easier to identify their mainstream equivalents I have listed the software you will definitely have to part money for.
