Our very favorite Top Eight Resources
RAC is amazing, the first time we tried them we had 12 bids by
evening and two days later the project was completed. Now we use
them for everything from checking my html code to developing applications.
Google has been a great asset in being able to market directly to those interested in what we have to offer. They have a huge palette of services and tools.
We have
used SKYPE for years for free computer to computer calls, in Europe
and for conference calls.
Setting up a merchant account used to be difficult. Now
it's a 5 minute task and you can buy and sell using credit cards
and the paypal system.
We used to get the free business cards all the time to give
out and then started to have more and more of our print collateral
done with Vistaprint. Even an order of postcards for a promotional
event in a small town in Italy.
Rather than trying to manage your lists on your mail program, these guys give
you a whole palette of options more.
This site is hosted at GoDaddy as well as many others. Only the
best experience. Especially their customer service.
