In anticipation of a major move I will most likely be making in the beginning of the year, I have been spending a lot of time cleaning house. I am donating boxes and boxes of books to my local library and scanning (or having scanned) hundreds of documents. The purpose of this post is not to tell you about my move but to 1) offer someone a copy of a 2-CD set titled "Growing and Managing a Business" and 2) to tell you about a service called Pixily.
First things first - if you want the CDs, let me know asap (first come first served).
Pixily, mentioned above, is a new service I am trying out to help me run a less paper intensive business. You can try Pixily free for 30 days. After that, the options range from $5 - $60/month. To me, Pixily really serves two functions. One, as a virtual storage area for important documents and two, as a company that will scan your documents, return the originals, and provide the digital (and highly searchable) pdfs online. Since there are many virtual storage sites (many free, such as Google docs), I am mainly interested in the scanning service. I could buy a scanner and scan things myself but this would take more time than I have right now. The part of Pixily I like best is the option to submit documents and send them to Pixily in postage paid envelopes. I have been slowly filling up envelopes and I am getting ready for my first "send." In about a week, I should be able to tell you more about how I like it (and if it's worth the money!) For now, much more sorting, packing and donating to do.
