Stamps.com - I used to stand in line at the post office for several hours each week, mailing packages. Then I found Stamps.com and my life hasn't been the same since.

MyFax - Fax machines are so passe. If you're not sending and receiving digital faxes through your email and the web, you're severely handicapping your business' growth and needlessly killing a lot of trees. I swear by MyFax for it's simplicity and reliability, and it's priced great, too! Plans start at $10/month and you can add what you need, as you need it. I can send and receive faxes whenever and wherever I may be, without a fax machine or phone line. <- Insert photo of someone sitting on the beach with a laptop, smiling and staring into the sunset. :) Click here for your FREE TRIAL
VistaPrint- Speed, quality, affordability. There's a saying in the printing industry that you can have any two of the three, but never all three. VistaPrint has shattered that statement. I didn't really pay much attention to them when they first started back in the '90s, because I considered them "that cheap free business card company." But they've really blossomed and I now do all of my printing, and all of my clients' printing, with them. Super quick, great quality, awesome pricing...

eBay Stores - When I was running my online clothing store, about 1/3 of my total income came directly from eBay, and another 1/3 of it came form my eBay customers then going to my web site and purchasing additional items. If you sell products -- any kind of products -- you really should have a presence on eBay, and an eBay store is the best way to do that. It's also one of the easiest ecommerce solutions to get set up and running in the quickest time. The customers are already there -- It's like opening a shop in a busy mall, rather than out in the middle of a corn field, which is how you end up feeling with a lot of other companies.
ProStores (an eBay Company) - When you're ready to "step up" from your regular eBay store, try eBay ProStores.
Constant Contact - I used to try to manage my email marketing through Outlook. Create the marketing piece in Word, create an email template from it, send it out to my list(s), get a bunch of bounced messages and angry people claiming they'd never asked to be added to my list and they were going to report me for spamming, etc. Then I had to go and remove all the bounces and removal requests by hand, and hope that the messages that did get through were showing up on the receiver's end in the intended manner. But no more. I can't believe how much time and frustration I've saved myself by signing up with Constant Contact. It's so convenient and easy to use, and once again, I can do it from anywhere. As you can probably tell from the other links on thia page, I'm way into mobility. FREE TRIAL Constant Contact helps you to connect with your customers and build your business.
