These Resources May Prove To Be Useful If You Plan On Running a Successful Veteran Owned Business.


As a fellow Veteran, I want to share as much information with YOU to increase your chances of success in Civvy Street when you are demobbed.
I'll be honest with you at all times & so I tell you now that most (if not all) of these are affilate links where I will get a small percentage if you click on the link.
However I will not promote anything just for this reason alone; ALL of these resources I either use or have used in the past.

I accept no responsibility for YOUR experience with ANY third parties website you visit.
(You know how it is, you have to cover your arse with everything these days!)

This is the resource I've used to build this website. It is a total piece of piss to use. It must be as I'm using it!
There really is so much you can do with this website building tool.
You can even build it all for FREE.
That said I personally recommend upgrading to pro to get the extra features.
It will cost you less than a heavy run ashore & "BEBOB" (Big Eats, Back OnBoard) to get it all for 2 years; bargain!
You can buy your domain through them too, but I prefer to get mine from the next resource.
GoDaddy - World's #1 Domain Registrar
This is the website I use to buy All my domain names, submitting to search engines & email forwarding accounts.
Their hosting is good if you are more of an advanced web designer (which I am not).
The site can be confusing to navigate round if you are a dumb ass like me, so I've chosen just to use them as I just described with regard to my Veteran Owned Business.
That said, their customer support is very good.
This is the software I use to record all my interviews in "The Interrogation Of The Experts" series, including the FREE Veterans Edition.
All you need is Skype, a headset & this software, then you are good to go.
You get it for FREE, but if you need to record conversations longer than 10 minutes you will need to buy an upgrade, which costs less than a good run ashore!
Avoid falling foul of Copyright Laws by purchasing "Royalty Free" images, videos, etc. from this excellent resource. I used them for many of the pictures in my book "PTSD - A Self-Help Survival Guide".
If you want your marketing materials to really stand out from the crowd, then you need to add good quality pictures. Whether this is on printed materials or simply to add a splash of colour to a website.
Maybe you need to create a promo video for your business & just need a short clip to add in which would prove costly to get done yourself. Well you'll find these here too.
Some items may seem costly at first glance, but if you were to get sued for using a copyrighted image; you would then realise not so pricey after all!
Get a free Giffgaff Sim
I changed over to this provider after a recommendation from a friend.
I kept my number & the process was quite simple.
It is run on the O2 network, so the coverage is pretty damn good.
The way I see it is, you get most of the benefits of a contract,but at a better price, and you are not tied in for years.
The best part is GiffGaff to GiffGaff calls & texts are FREE, providing you top up a minimum of £10 every 3 months; bargain!
