“Become known as an expert in your niche” is a great one. One way we’ve found useful is ‘guest blogging’ for another website… it’s great for exposure to new audiences and establishes you as someone in the know.

Well said… love your opening line too… we sure do have to manage our money or it somehow goes away.

I never have figured out how to let go of web site stuff, so now I’m switching them over to blogs which are much easier to update. But the point is well taken.

And I love the idea of hiring a fellow writer… why didn’t I think of that one?!

I found a great resource on this recently in Entrepreneur Magazine online. The article is called “The Best Things in Life are Free” and lists many free online resources business start-ups can use (Web sites, phone services, software and more). I use many of the resources they list in my own freelance writing business.

Shel, this is a GREAT article! At the Bootstrap Babes Blog, we’re always advocating using your money where it counts most in your business — and that’s whether the economy is up or down.

I particularly liked your tips on outsourcing admin work — getting a virtual assistant several years ago totally changed the way I did business (and changed my income!) — and on becoming an expert in your niche. Thanks to technology, that’s a low-cost technique that pays dividends for years.

One tip I’d like to share is to *negotiate everything*. Too many entrepreneurs pay the “sticker price” for business services. Everything is negotiable, especially in today’s competitive environment – credit cards, merchant accounts, delivery fees, accounting services, etc. If you can’t get them to lower their price, then negotiate for more services and upgrades for the same price.

Happy bootstrapping!
