Every Indiepreneur I know works 14-16-18 hour days, plugging along into the wee hours of the night.
Raise your hand if you’ve been up at 2AM … making or tagging merchandise, writing a marketing piece, designing new business cards, plotting out a new website … in your jammies. C’mon. Admit it. We’ve all done it. And, if you work from home chances are you’ve spent many a 24 hours working ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT in the same jammies you wore LAST night.

The WWW was made to bring the world to the door of Indiepreneurs. You can set up your life so that you can balance your business’s bank account, get your printing done and order boxes all in your jammies at 2AM.
I strongly recommend you look into getting set up to do your banking online. It is a huge time saver. Check with your bank about any fees or if you have reservations about security. Make no mistake there are some sneaky fees they slide in there. Get all the info before making your decision. But I’m telling you, having access to your account online can help you track when payments have gone out, when payments have come in from Paypal or your merchant account … and track that all important bottom line. Sure beats having to get dressed, drive to the bank and wait in line.
With all that time you save banking online, you can design and print your marketing materials online, too. PsPrint lets you order everything from business cards, post cards, catalogs, hang tags (for those of us in the antique mall business), banners, even poster printing — you name it. Click on the Services tab on the top of their home page to find the free design feature. Use one of their templates, or upload your own stuff. You can get a quote on die-cutting and foil stamping for those really fancy promotions. With two printing facilities — one on each coast — orders are processed super fast.
Did you know that you can order USPS Priority Mail shipping boxes FREE online? It’s true. Not only can you order all that you need in every size they have, your friendly postal person will deliver them right to your door. UPS, I’m told has a similar service. I’ve never used it, so go check it out for your self.
Do you have a favorite online service or source? Please do share … if it’s jammy worthy.
