All of them do an online spreadsheet which has the added benefit of being shareable. Users can share with their advisors, bank, whatever. That way, you stand a better chance of keeping out of trouble or at least getting the right advice at the right time. worth checking EditGrid, GoogleDocs or Zoho.

That was a video tutorial by Ryan Carson published on Vitamin. It was a simple yet well explained tutorial from the basic costs of a start-up to the monthly income. Later, I started to manage certain elements from my upcoming website and it really helps me in keeping the work-flow very fluid. And the nicest part is that the applicability is not limited, you can keep your game scores in a spreadsheet or you can hold your coding snippets.

Our friends over at Freelanceswitch gave some tips to freelancers about what to do when Meeting a New Client. Ryan Carson, the founder of Carsonified (the guy who gave his staff iPhones) made a very entertaining and original video about How to Build a Web Startup. TypeInShirts Blog writes about how Nike is marketing their newest Jordan sneakers, the XX3. It’s very interesting to read how how they reinforce the brand, and how they are creating buzz by making it one of the most expensive sneakers available. Gizmodo posted a video about the highly buzzed viral marketing stunt that took place Tokyo, Japan. It involves lasers, lights, water, serpents. Come on, just watch the video.

One very important point about the cash flow (IMHO) that is you need to factor in when you will actually receive money, as opposed to sending out an invoice/bill. Depending of course on whether you get paid before you deliver your product or service, or after. Slow payers can also send you broke! Oh, and don't even think about asking a bank for a business overdraft unless you have a cashflow to show them. Hey Ryan,

Why not crack open MSPaint and use Times? What's the difference? If you understand that design is important, then you should be smart enough to understand whether you are a designer or not. And as far as a chair not being important to design, try sitting in a terrible chair for 10 hours a day.

So, yeah, 11 people is easily considered a middle sized company, especially online. But I know you've probably got a big 100 person company of your own and just like to leave anonymous comments on the interwebs. <strong>@Jay</strong>: Veer actually has several pretty cheap, but still great, typefaces available. They're not all $300. And if you don't think good design is more important than a nice desk chair, then good luck being successful on the web. @Mike: Over half of the companies in the US are just one person.
