NetSuite Pricing

Cutting your software costs

I want to help you save money and I am never going to ask you for anything in return.

Every year I save thousands of pounds by not spending any money on software. I was evaluating a system to run my business and I was really disappointed to find NetSuite pricing was going to leave me with no money to spend on the essential tools I need to get the job done. I have learned that I can easily complete most of my key business tasks using software that I paid nothing for. You wont find this taught at business school. I am greatly saddened by the number of people in small businesses who are not aware of this approach.

You need to do three things to make this strategy work for you.

  • 10 minutes/day search on one term ie free wordprocessor.
  • Record your findings using the free service from evernote.com.
  • Just spend about ten minutes every day trying out your findings.

It took me about for weeks on and off spending max twenty minutes a day to discover all of the tools I am ever going to need. To get you going here is a small sample of the tools I use every day to get the job done.

The software listed on the left is free and in some cases there is an upgrade to a paid version but don’t let this daunt you I get by with the free version most of the time (to help you easily identify what each tool does I have listed their “paid” for equivalents on the left hand side – I hope this helps).

Here we go:
