Since I am now running LML Video Services like a business and not my personal piggy bank, I am trying to reduce some of my ongoing costs as much as possible.
This has become very frustrating, especially with DVDs. It seems as if the cost has risen by 50% since the last time I purchased any.
So if any of you out there know where to get some high quality “Inkjet Printable” DVD+R’s, please let me know. I currently use Verbatim, as they have shown through many tests to be playable in many brands and types of DVD players.
The only other area of cost savings that I can find are DVD cases and paper goods (case inserts, shipping supplies, etc.). Any good ideas would be appreciated greatly.
I have also started using QuickBooks. I have the simple start version, which is all I need. It makes things much easier than my old system which was just excel spreadsheets for check registers and invoice/reciept templates. Now I can track all of my costs, income and customers. It’s awesome!
The next step: Eliminate using PayPal. The bigger question is if a small guy like me can afford to.
