We shall discuss these below.
However, perhaps your business is not Internet-based: you market through classified ads and rented mailing lists, then post out hard copies of sales letters, collect money through credit card transactions by phone and FAX, and ship your products by post. You will still need a PC and an Internet connection, and probably a website. We shall discuss these below also.
At the absolute minimum, you are going to need these:
A PC or laptop computer
A printer
A FAX machine
A 24-hour voice mail system (answering machine)
An Internet connection
An email account
Word processing software ? Microsoft Word is the standard these days
Database software
Whether your business is Internet based or not, you are going to need these tools to communicate with the rest of the world and you are going to need database software to manage your list.
Most people you communicate with, customers and colleagues, will also expect you have a website ? and a domain name to go with it. Even if you?re not doing business directly on the Internet, you need to establish an identity and make it convenient for people to contact you.
If you are a total computer Newbie, if you don?t own or have never touched a computer, the best place to get a quick, basic education is at your local Further Education college.
