You don’t have to be a consultant to get paid for recommending software. Instead, you can earn money or in-app credits by using a referral program.
In other words, you can earn money for referring products without paying a cent. Yes, I know that sounds like a “I earn $1,537.87 per day from home” clickbait ad, but it’s true.
Imagine if you had to send marketing emails manually, or keep your records in a tattered binder on your desk.
Every company, even startups, needs to make a minimum investment in SaaS tools for work like email marketing, project management, and tracking sales.
But the catch is that some of these startup tools can cost huge amounts of money, and when you’re a young startup you don’t want to be forking out in excess of $2,000/user/month for just one piece of software.
The point of this post is to explain the minimum viable SaaS stack your startup should invest in, based on what we’ve found out at Process Street in our many (many, many, many) tool-testing escapades. I’ll even do the math for you, and collate the estimated annual cost at the end.

At Process Street, a lot of startup blogs are required reading for our team.
It makes sense, because your startup will be informed and improved by what it reads, and every team needs to stay on top of what’s being spoken about.
In this post, I’ve compiled the 55 best blogs for startups (plus one recommended article from each) in these categories:
… All focused specifically on advice for startups.
Here they are:
Your current team can’t handle any extra work. You’ve exhausted your process automation opportunities. You’ve got no choice but to bring in a fresh face.
You could hire a specialist, but they can be expensive and limited in the work you can hand off. You need to hire a virtual assistant.
“How did they make this?”
I find myself asking this while playing games, and after doing some digging ingenious stories of building communities and managing resources came to light.
In other words, startups (and SaaS companies as a whole) are closer to agile game development than you would think. The core business processes may differ, but valuable lessons can be applied in terms of managing resources and organizing your priorities.
Introducing new policies to ensure a safe and productive workplace makes sense on all sides.
Unfortunately, if your employees don’t know about your policies, it won’t do a damn thing to solve your company’s problems. In other words, if your employee handbook doesn’t get read, you’re fresh out of luck.
There are two ways to all but guarantee your employees will never read your employee handbook.
Think of the copy-and-paste template as the cookie cutter cold emails we all love to hate – there’s no feeling of a person behind it, so we tune out, ignore it, and get on with our day.
Unlike cold emails, however, if your employees ignore your handbook they’re inevitably going to fall victim to a rule they didn’t know about.
Sure, you’re still covered for the aftermath (as long as it was in the handbook to begin with), but if you want to prevent these costly blunders from happening your employee handbook needs to be interesting and engaging.
After all, wouldn’t you rather read a document that talks to you as a person, rather than another cog in some merciless corporate machine?
