// January 2nd, 2010 // How to, Virtual office

Happy New Year!

If you are viewing this outside of the original blog post  you may need to visit the post to access video and slides!

We had originally planned an all day seminar to jump-start the new year but canceled, frankly there is so much to do we had to pull back! At 10.00am I got the first email with questions, so I guess we’re doing the jump-start after all…  but online!Interested in our workshops please use this form to contactus!

So Where do I start!

I’d suggest get a gmail account Gmail offers free tools through their Gmail accounts or Google apps for business Gmail Google Calendar Google Docs Google Sites

• Calendar- when does product have to be ready? What/when are your industry or sector trade events. when do you need to get material to press?

How do I secure a my web site name!

Remember your to ensure you are not infringing on existing trademarks when choosing your name. if the dot com is not available rethink your choice!

Company Name, Domain name, web Host and email address.

Dreamhost:-I like their simple one-click appurtenance…hint;-  enter promocode 2010STARUPfor $40 off their yearly subscriptions!

Simply click this link

Choose the add Google apps option In Dreamhost and it is automatic

If you are a non profit both google apps and Dreamhost offer  sponsored accounts!

When It comes to office or working  spaces a Real version of this Pop up office would be cool till then, consider a coworking space to cut cost!  I’d recommend New Work City with several membership plans and a coworking  visa (up to 3 complimentary, drop-in days at some spaces) when traveling ! Not sure they offer a virtual address

but

Sunshine Suites our current sponsor has a great offer till January 15th! This space also has a great ambiance! Visit http://tinyurl.com/yj37w2c

Where and how can I register my company.
