10 Effective Ways To Reduce Your Business Costs

1. Barter

If you have a business you should be bartering goods and services with other businesses. You should try to

trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals usually require little or no money.

2. Network

Try networking your business with other businesses. You could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut

down on your marketing and advertising costs. You may also try bartering goods and services with them.

  

3. Wholesale/Bulk

You'll save money buying your business supplies in bulk quantities. You could get a membership at a

wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail order wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are always

running out of.

4. Free Stuff

You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites on the internet before buying your business supplies.

You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds, online business services etc.

5. Borrow/Rent

Have you ever purchased business equipment you only needed for a small period of time? You could

have just borrowed the equipment from someone else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store.

6. Online/Offline Auctions

You can find lower prices on business supplies and equipment at online and offline auctions. I'm not

saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for these items try bidding on them first.

  

7. Plan Ahead

Make a list of business supplies or equipment you'll need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that

have big sales. Purchase the supplies when they go on sale before you need them.

8. Used Stuff

If  your business equipment and supplies don't need to be new, buy them used. You can find used items

at yard and garage sales, used stores, used stuff for sale message boards and newsgroups etc.

9. Negotiate

You should always try negotiate a lower price for any business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurt

to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a car lot.

10. Search

You can always be searching for new suppliers for your business supplies and equipment. Look for

suppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don't just be satisfied with a few.

 By Michael Conquest

1. You'll brand your web site, business and yourself by submitting articles to e-zines. You could include                                                       

your name, business name, your credentials, web site address and e-mail address in your resource box.

  

2. You will become known as an expert on the topics you write about. This will give you and your business

extra credibility which will help you compete against your competition.

     

3. Your article might also be placed on the publisher's home page. If they publish each issue on their home

page this will give you some extra exposure.

     

4. You might get extra exposure if the e-zine publisher archives their e-zine on their site. People might want

to read the back issues before they make the decision to subscribe.

     

5. You will get free advertising. This will allow you to spend your profits on other forms of advertising. You

could buy advertisements in other e-zines that don't publish your articles.

     

6. You might get extra income from people wanting to hire you to write other articles, books, or even ask to

speak at seminars. This is a great way to multiply your income.

     

7. You could allow e-zine publishers to publish your articles in their free e-books. Since people give them

away, your advertising could multiply all over the internet.

     

8. You will get your article published all over the web when you submit it to an e-zine publisher that has a

free content directory on their web site. They'll allow their visitors to republish your article.

     

9. You'll gain people's trust. If they read your article and like it, they won't be as hesitant to buy your

product or service. You will then be able to increase your profits.

     

10. You could get your article guaranteed to run in an e-zine. You could agree to run one of their articles

in your e-zine if, in exchange, they run yours in their e-zine. It's a win/win situation.
