5. Printer - Unless you are printing most of your own marketing materials, you don't need an expensive printer. Many of the cheaper printers print almost as good as the high end printers.

6. AntiVirus software for your computer - Anti Virus protection is crucial.  If your computer is not protected properly, you could lose all of your valuable data, information, accounting info., etc. to a malicious virus.  This could cost you a great deal of money and time, and even cause your business to temporarily shut down.  The find the best deals, click here:  Best Anti Virus Software Deals 

7. Aluminum Clip Board with a storage compartment in it.  Make sure you get a clip board with the storage compartment to hold all of your paperework, pens, calculator, etc.  If you buy the cheap clipboards with no storage compartment, your paper work will get blown away on windy days.  Click here: Best Clip Board

8. Website Hosting - You will need a website hosting service regardless of whether you build the site yourself or hire someone else to build it.  First, click here:  Best Web Hosting Deals.    First, Click on JustHost.com.   Then, at the bottom middle of the screen(on the Home Page) , you will see a column that says "New Website?", ......just click the continue button.  Simply enter the domain name(website name) that you would like to buy, and it will tell you if that name is still available.  If it's available, you should purchase your hosting service immediately before that domain name is purchased by someone else.  Good domain names go fast.

The monthly service fee for hosting your website is between $3.95 to $7.95 a month, depending on the length of time you time up for.

• It costs $3.95 a month if you sign up on the 36 month plan

• It costs $4.95 a month if you sign up on the 24 month plan

• It costs $5.95 a month if you sign up on the 12 month plan

• It costs $6.95 a month if you sign up on the 6 month plan

• It costs $7.95 a month if you sign up on the month to month plan

This is by far the best website hosting company we have found.  They have one of the best reputations in the industry, their website hosting is very easy to use for beginners, and the price is the best that we have found anywhere.  They also give you the domain name free for life.(Most companies charge an extra $10 a year for the domain)

You also get:

• Unlimited disk space

• Unlimited bandwidth

• Unlimited email accounts

• The ability to host unlimited domains

If you decide to build your own website, you should purchase the right software to do it correctly.  If you build your website with cheap "no name" software, it will not rank well in Google search and you will end up throwing it all away at some point in the future.  The most popular software program for building your own website is Adobe Dreamweaver. This software allows you to build a professional looking website with unlimited capabilities of growing it to any size that you wish.  To see their pricing, click here: Website Building Software

If you need someone else to build a website for you, I highly recommend CrowdSpring.  The quality of their website design will blow you away.  They can also design your logo and brochures.  To get more information, click here: Website Design
