Small Business Tuesday: Another helpful free site.

S12_logo_400_smallbusinesstuesday

Another  free online service that has been very helpful for small business entrepeneurs. 

Number Three:  LogMeIn.com

You can access your desktop any time you need with the robust, free version of this remote desktop management tool. Perhaps the best thing about LogMeIn.com is the ability to quickly log in and use software on your desktop from anywhere, regardless of whether or not the device you are on has the same software.

Small Business Tuesday: Another Freebie you'll love...

 

S12_logo_400_smallbusinesstuesday

Small business owners always need to find ways to save money.  There are many 'free'  services available on the internet, and most we've found to be about worth what we've paid for them.  

But luckily, not all of them.  I'd like to share another that I've found very helpful.

Check 'em out, I bet you'll love them too.

 

Number Two:  #Smallbizchat

A couple of weeks ago someone clued  me into a weekly interactive business chat on Twitter, called  #SmallBizChat. 

#SmallBizChat is online every Wednesday night from 8 till 9 pm, EST and includes a variety of discussions that small business people will find helpful.

Free Business Tools that you can't live without.

S12_logo_400_smallbusinesstuesday

Small business owners always need to find ways to save money.  There are many 'free'  services available on the internet, and most we've found to be about worth what we've paid for them.  

But luckily, not all of them.  I'd like to share a few that I've found very helpful, in fact some I can't imagine living without.  And yes, all free.  Granted, most  have a paid service available as well, but the free offerings have met my needs easily.   I'll try to feature one new service every week that small business owners will find very  helpful.   I'll call it…  Small Business Tuesday.  

Check 'em out, I bet you'll love them too. 

Number One: Dropbox

Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere, and share them easily. Any file you save to your Dropbox will automatically sync to all your computers, your phone or iPad, and the Dropbox website. Dropbox also makes it easy to share with others, too, you decide wh ich of your folders can be shared and which stay private.  It is super easy to use, easy to install, just easy all the way around.   This one is definitely one of my TOP  PICKS for anyone trying to organize their digital life.

Small Business Tuesday: Strengthening your Item Descriptions


20 Questions Your Buyers are Asking 
This is a list to jump start your thinking when you write your next item description. Remember that your customer cannot see the item in person. Don’t assume that the qualities of your item are obvious to your customer or that your photos say it all. (I have seen more than one item that I couldn’t even figure out what the item WAS!). You might even consider describing your item as if you had no pictures for your customer to look at. Really make them feel like they are right there with your item.

This is not an all inclusive list and some questions may not be appropriate for all items or sellers. This list is just to get you thinking about some of the things your customer might want to know about your fabulous work.
