Two and a half years ago I wrote about the economic difficulties facing the modern small-business owner, and, well, it looks like nothing has changed since then. Times are still tough, money is tight, and starting your own new business takes an iron gut.
What has changed is the technological landscape - with social networking and mobility now critical themes in the startup world. Everything from raising money to finding staff to getting the word out about your business has evolved with the times, even if your wallet hasn't.
How do you start a business today with practically nothing besides a good idea and a lot of free time?
Great find, Minstrel. A lot of these suggestions are great for individual use, too. I know that I've been using skype and elance.com to save some dough for a while now.
