I previously mentioned the ShareIT initiative by the Irish Small Business Advisory Group and the first session is on this coming Saturday in UCC. Put simply

The areas which will be covered in Cork include:

• Bootstrapping a small independent software vendor
• Effective communications
• How to use outsourcing to grow a small IT business
• Marketing research for Tech Startups
• Search Engine Optimisation for your website
• Managing web projects
• Sales in the IT environment

I’ll be giving the presentation on “How to use outsourcing to grow a small IT business” based on many years providing outsourcing services and now making heavy use of them.

I strongly encourage you to sign up for this. It is completely free and I think all attendees will learn a lot and hopefully avoid many of the mistakes we all made in the same start-up situation.
