Free Resources for Your Business

Since April is coming to a close, this is the last day of Intuit’s sponsorship of Biznik.  I thought I’d close off by providing some free resources for small businesses. Intuit has a number of these resources and I think they could be of value to some of you in the Biznik community. So, here it goes:Financial Management ProductsBilling Manager: This is a simple and free online solution for managing your invoices and getting paid by customers.  Here’s what you can do with it:<ul><li>Select from professional invoice templates</li><li>Email or print online invoices</li><li>See each invoice’s history—when it was sent, received and paid</li><li>See what’s overdue and easily send reminders</li><li>We do the math (sales tax too!) for fast, accurate invoices</li></ul>To sign up, go to our <a href="http://www.billingmanager.com">Billing Manager website</a>.Simple Start: This is a basic financial management software that allows you to manage money going into and out of your business. It doesn’t have all of the functionality of QuickBooks Pro (our paid product), but it has a lot of the basic features that a new business might need. It is free to use – no restrictions. Go to <a href="http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product/accounting-software/free-accounting-software.jhtml?view=features#tabAnchor">this link</a> to download it. Marketing Products:Free Business Listings: This is a service that will let you get listed on many of the major search engines all at once. Rather than having to go to each search engine and list yourself, you can just put in your information once. If that information changes, then you only need to go to one place to update it. Go to <a href="http://marketingtools.intuit.com/web_listings/index.html">this link</a> to sign up.  (Note, there is also a paid version of this product… but, again, the free version has some great benefits.)Those are our free products! Additionally, we were able to pull together some discounts for Biznik members on some of our paid products. We’ve posted them throughout the month, but I also thought that I’d consolidate them here, so that you have them all in one place. Here they are:QuickBooks Pro: We can provide you with a 20% off coupon for Biznik members.  Just use the code 4805359634 on our <a href="http://biznik.com/click?u=http%3A//quickbooks.intuit.com/product/accounting-software/small-business-accounting-software.jhtml%3Flid%3Dleft_nav&amp;t=website">website</a> by 7/31/08.Intuit Payroll Services: Intuit offers several options (including services that work with QuickBooks) that let you pick how involved you want to be with your business payroll Special Offer for Intuit® Online Payroll:  3 Months Free!   Offer expires: 7/31/08.

This includes website hosting, website building software, 5 web pages, site statistics to track your visitors , and toll-free phone support.Credit Card Processing: We pulled together a <a href="http://biznik.com/click?u=http%3A//www.quickbooksms.com/onlineterminal/%3Fp_prioritycode%3DOT_influencer%26amp%3Bb%3Dqb_quark&amp;t=special%20trial">special trial</a> for Intuit credit card processing just for Biznik members.  This will give you a 3 month free trial, no set-up fee, and no monthly minimum.  Our credit card processing integrates with QuickBooks.Incorporation Services: To learn more, go to Intuit's <a href="http://biznik.com/click?u=http%3A//www.mycorporation.com/%3Fcid%3Dweb_socialmktg_business_biznik_0408&amp;t=MyCorporation">MyCorporation</a> to learn more about incorporation or about Intuit's filling services.That's it!  Thank you so much to the Biznik community for interacting with us and providing comments to the information that we have provided.  We have truly enjoyed being Biznik's first premier sponsor and have had a great time providing these resources to you.  Bridget and I still plan to be active in the community. We welcome any and all comments. Thanks again. 2008-04-30T00:00:38Z
