10 Ways to Use Your iPod for Business

iPods at work aren't just for tuning out your co-workers anymore. Many highly regarded companies are promoting efficiency in the workplace by using iPods as training tools, sales instruments, mobile learning devices, promotional incentives, communications pods and more. Using audio and video files and an array of available adapters and docks, the iPod can be greatly utilized for business. Their small size and great capacity (the Nano, available in 4GB and 8GB models, is just 6.55mm thin and the Classic, with up to 160GB, still fits in your hand) make them ideal for business people on the go.

Here are ten ways that small business owners can jump on the "iPod for business" bandwagon and make their work lives more efficient, which, as you know, only makes your entire life that much more fun too:

Converting Business Cards into Useful Data

Do you have a pile of sticky notes with client contact information scribbled on them or business cards taped to your computer monitor?  Now is the perfect time to get them all organized into a contact database. A contact database can be created with a contact management tool such as Outlook, ACT, and Excel or by utilizing a card scanner to scan your company contacts business cards into your computer.

What if you don't have a database at all?  You can purchase a mailing list from a source such as http://www.infousa.com/, and receive hundreds of contacts that match your ideal client demographic, at a surprisingly low cost.

Cybertary can also help you create a database from scratch with some very targeted internet research, or convert an existing paper contact list to something electronic.  And frankly...once you go digital, you just can't go back to paper.

Now that you have a digital database, what do you do with it?

Cyber-Quick Tip: Software Storage Simplified

When you need a software CD or the software license information, do you dread the mad search you must embark upon to find them? Do you have a shelf full of old software boxes taking up space? Or are there software jewel boxes and loose CDs in a drawer or box? Worse yet, are you losing or damaging your valuable software CDs because you just don't have a designated way to store them? We have a solution that will save you space and keep your software and license keys handy and safe.

It's simple really. Just get yourself a CD binder at an office supply store and insert all of your software CDs in it. Then, you can then either cut out the license key from the box and slip it into the pocket with the CD or write the key number on the CD itself with a fine-tip permanent marker.

As Cybertaries, we need to stay on the cutting edge of technology with the latest software at our fingertips. This is a picture of our software binder at Cybertary Headquarters that holds 128 CDs in 3 inches of shelf space. They are sorted by software type (Operating System, Microsoft, Utilities, Graphics, Microsoft and Other). All of our software is easily accessible, protected, and organized. Pretty nice and easy, huh?

Simplified Filing for Your Small Business

I admit it. I'm a bit of a Filing Fanatic. At any given moment, I like to know the exact location of all the necessary documents I may need. In fact, I don't like giving a single minute of my precious time to the task of searching around my desk. Instead, I love the feeling I get when I need a specific document and am able to make my move to the right file in one single, quick and systematic movement. Okay, so you don't have to get this excited about your filing system; however, as a small business owner, you should have a system that works simply for you. Here's a peek at Cybertary's simplified filing system that can work well for any small business.
