Streamline the Payment Process

• If youre running a small online store, make sure
  its easy for your customers to find the product
  they need and buy it.
• Review the journey that customers have to make
  around your site. See if there are several ways
  they can make their search faster. Are search
  boxes available? Are there categories in place?
  Is your site using search filters?

5
Manage your Time more Effectively

• If youre running your business on your own, try
  using a time monitoring software. This is so you
  can see where you spend most of your time at.
  Help yourself become more productive by setting
  priorities.
• If you notice that youre taking too long
  answering emails, then you may want to put that
  off until the last hour of your operations. Focus
  where your expertise and or engagement is most
  needed and cant be delayed.

Track your Expenses

• Use a software to help you monitor your spending.
  Find ways so you can issue receipts or invoice to
  your customers faster. If youre still filing
  your taxes personally, inquire about steps for
  filing it online.
• Ask fellow small business owners you know about
  accounting tools theyre using online. These
  tools can help you work faster with your
  accountant. You can also reduce the risk of human
  error.

Maximize use of Online marketing Tools

• Dont shy away from online marketing tools
  available to you. If you dont have a website
  yet, explore the possibility of running one. You
  need customers to know you exist.
• And these days, the best way to do that is by
  establishing your online presence. Customers are
  most likely to search for products and services
  they need online rather than pick up a directory.
