Virtual Office - Setting Up Yours Part 2
b>Secondary Supplies for Your Virtual Office
Aside from the basic supplies you'll need to make your virtual office work (like a computer and internet connection) there are some secondary supplies that will make life a lot easier. Consider any or all of the following supplies once your virtual business is up and running. Most will save you time and many headaches when conducting business over the Web.
Scanner - A scanner comes in handy for scanner documents or photos from one client to another.
Fax - Consider investing in a fax machine or better yet, try out an E-fax when operating from a virtual office.
CD and DVD Writer - A CD-RW allows you to back up files on a CD, and a DVD-RAM allows you to write large files to digital medium, including video. Both come in handy when working online.
Copier - You may need a copier if you plan to work with lots of documents. You might consider investing in a multi purpose device that includes a scanner, fax, and printer and copying capability. There are a wealth of choices you can buy inexpensively online that work quite efficiently.
Software - Depending on your business you'll need software to support your daily operations. Don't even consider starting a business without an email program, some form of word processing software (like MSWord) and virus protection software. Other software that may come in handy include Adobe Reader, Illustrator, Photoshop, PowerPoint and some form of spreadsheet software.
