Building a Virtual Business

Ever dreamed of being your own boss? We often think that building a business involves a lot of money and time (and it does). There are also innumerable software applications to handle countless day-to-day processes; whether that's accounting, project management, time tracking, and so on.

In reality however, its not that difficult to spin up infrastructure to support routine business tasks. Whether you're starting out as a freelancer, or building a fully-fledged business, replete with employees and payroll, there are services and apps to help.

In this session, I'll show you the key applications you need to start and build a successful business, on a virtual shoestring. Along the way, I'll share what I've learned building my own programming and writing business, when it comes to working with clients, getting paid, and managing projects and tasks.

typo: s/routing/routine/

This is a really wide topic area. Is it about how to run a business? About the apps that I would need if I wanted to freelance? About the processes that should occur? I think this could be a really excellent session but for both speaker and attendee, something more focussed could be a better pick. This would give a more specific title (vital because attendees never read abstracts) and also a shorter abstract; I think this abstract is in danger of losing selector's interest - definitely try removing phrases such as "In reality however" as this adds no value.

Hope that helps

Typo correct. Thanks :-) Ok, I'll rework it focusing on apps, with a hint at something more.
