Tools for Entrepreneurs: Create. Collaborate. Communicate.Sara Rosso
I created this presentation for entrepreneurs who need online tools to make their ideas happen (I gave it earlier this year at the Professional Women's Association in Milan).
The presentation "Tools for Entrepreneurs: Create. Collaborate. Communicate." started out as a way to explain very technical things to non-technical people, but I quickly realized that most people when approaching technology get intimidated by the "What's DNS? Do I need a dedicated server?" kind of questions and therefore feel they can't understand technology.
I feel that this technology intimidation is really due to the fact that they don't really own their idea, and better understanding it will guide any decisions they have to make with their idea moving forward.
So I focus on how to further refine your idea so you can move it forward, even with help, by having a better mastery over what you need and what your users need. I also cover some techniques and tools for collaborating with developers, external consultants, and other remote workers. Then, I briefly touch on communication strategies online and how your site won't be the only place communication happens but it should be the digital hub with the most useful and authoritative information about your company, and how you can develop a communication strategy that spans several types of networks.
The appendix includes some open source software alternatives for growing a business on a bootstrap budget.

If not nearby, you can get what you need (talent, skill, experience, etc.) elsewhere and still reach success. But there’s a catch. How do you build trust among a team when they’re rarely together?

5. Choosing the Right CMS
Is WordPress right for you?
• Will it Help You Accomplish Your Organization s Goals?
Evaluating your functional and operational requirements is the first step.
• Open-Source vs. Proprietary
As proprietary systems serve a very specific purpose, content management is
not always a priority.

WordPress leads market share for CMS-based websites. Many developers
hate it, but content managers love it.
