Are you trying to find the right tools to make your life easier? Some of those tools may be more available than you think, and are actually right underneath your nose. Using tools that others have invented for small businesses like you can actually make your business more successful without as many learning moments. Check out the three commonly used low-cost (or free) tools below to get on the right track.
Google Voice
Google Voice lets you call any local number for free, and when someone calls back, the service automatically forwards your call to any phone of your choosing. This is a great tool because if you can’t afford a second line – or even a third – you have a good way of distinguishing between personal and business calls.
Freelancer
You have a small budget for a writing project, but you’re not sure how to write yourself, so you need someone to do it for you. Of course, you can’t hire a regular employee, because that’s expensive. So how do you manage? Freelancer, of course. Find an independent contractor that can help you with SEO, app coding, content, and anything else that can be done online.
Craigslist
Yes, this may seem a little silly initially, but Craigslist has been around since the 90’s without ever having a lapse in service. You can buy and sell anything on this website – including essential office furniture – for a fraction of its original retail price. Check it out – you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
