Sometimes a few timely
tried-and-true business tips can help
save a lot of time, money,
frustration and headaches. Experiment
with some of these to see
how you can help your business and
yourself at the same time.
American Automobile
Association (AAA)– Save yourself some time,
money and more by joining an
automobile or other travel-related
club like the popular AAA.
These clubs offer a variety of
discounted products and
services. And they can help with a lot
of your planning and
business activities like scheduling travel,
booking fares, rentals and
rooms, not to mention helping you
with problems that may arise
while traveling; for example, when
you reach your destination
and the hotel you chose has
overbooked, or you find
yourself locked out of your vehicle,
with a flat tire or out of
gas. Handy help in a jiff can mean a
lot when you’re far from
home. And you don’t want to neglect
insurance packages while
traveling. An illness or accident could be costly
without protection.
Automation – Get help for
your business, too, and automate what
you can. For example, use autoresponders for pre-sale
and
after-sale communications,
digital tracking to monitor your ROI
(return on investment), delivery solutions, list management,
autoresponder series, electronic
coupons, affiliate programs, a
progressive shopping cart
software solution and more. Check out a
variety of services, pricing
packages and options for
your company growth.
Content Creation &
Management - Stop trying to keep up
with
everything on your own.
Since your business will always need
updated with the latest
content, get help learning more about
the latest multimedia and
website techniques and strategies
today at a membership site
designed to do the work of keeping up
while you simply log in and
take action, putting their info into
place.
Credit Card Accounts – Shop
around for better credit card rates
and rewards programs. Don’t’
be afraid to ask questions and see
about transferring balances
to qualify for frequent flyer miles
or gas purchase rebates or
certificates.
Profit Systems - Get great business help. Look around for
opportunities and bundle
helpful service packages or see what’s
available in your industry.
For example, get a business plan of
action complete with website
and copywriting, products, splash
pages, follow up ezine for
each product, Adsense, Clickbank and
other opportunities all
rolled into a plug-in system.
Email Help - Consolidate
your email in one location with
web-based email programs,
and stop messing with POP3 accounts,
Outlook setup, etc. Check
with the programs that come with the
control panel in your
hosting packages, generally found by
keying in your
domain/webmail. Or head to sources who feature
their own programs like
Gmail, Google's free webmail, or
webbox.com, a paid service
provider who can consolidate up to
five email accounts for one
super low annual rate (just under
$20 when checked last).
Public Library / More
Learning– Continuing education for all fields is a
must, especially for writing
to keep up with business
communications. Pick up
excellent books, cassettes, videos and
other resources from the
local library at no cost. And check out
local and online writing
courses to enroll and sharpen your
writing skills.
