Let me get on my soap box for a minute...
Today, we are lucky to live in an age when you don't need to be born a techie or have a degree in rocket science to run your own company's IT systems.
However, I've met several small business owners and solopreneurs who pay big bucks monthly to have someone (or multiple someones) set up, run, and oversee their email, calendar, office suite, and website. Not only do they have that significant ongoing financial overhead, they also sometimes need to wait 3-5 weeks for any small changes that need to be made, like adjusting copy or images on their websites.
The reason I started my business is to show entrepreneurs that IT doesn't have to be like this, and empower them to set up and manage their own systems. Your website and other IT systems are yours. You should be able to come and go and make changes as you please, as you do in your own home. Google Workspace and the tools it comprises of provide that.
It is my passion to enable anyone to run their own IT system and website. I don't do it for them, but teach them how to do it for themselves, as the saying goes, I teach them how to fish.
The added benefit of using Google Workspace for your IT infrastructure is that it covers most of your software needs at a low cost. For small businesses, costs add up quickly, and there is no reason for you to pay extra unless you have to. Most small businesses can use the $6/user/month or the $12/user/month Google Workspace package, slashing their operations overhead significantly.
So what's included in this cost? Many, many tools: Google Workspace core tools and other Google tools. These are the most popular ones for small businesses:
💎 Communication tools
- Business email on your domain
- Calendar
- Business-grade video conferencing tool (with optional recording)
- Whiteboarding tool
💎 Office software and file storage
- Google's office tools: word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and more
- Seamless bridge with Microsoft Office and your computer's hard drive
💎 Marketing tools
- Website builder
- Blog
- Analytics on website/blog traffic
- Survey tool
- Other marketing tools
