Business Startup Kit

Nick Denton of Gawker Media Fame posts a worthy bookmark (as of this writing 798 people tagged this page on del.icio.us) listing a toolbox of free/low-cost tools for startup companies to leverage.

My faves are:

  • FreeConference — I’ve used this a lot. It’s worth every penny you don’t spend.
  • Paytrust — Let it manage your bills for you.
  • Perspective — “Because nothing is ever as good, or as bad, as it seems at the time.”

The only things I would add:

  • Gmail — Free, secure email that’s not evil.
  • Clickthrustats — Who’s clicking what, and how many times?
  • Aweber — Full-service email list management, blog-to-email publication, and autoresponders
  • LogMeIn or GoToMyPC for remote access.
  • Quickbooks Online — Don’t follow the money, let it follow you ;)
