What are some of the best ways you can save money as a consultant? Share your thoughts or ideas - keep your trade secrets we are just looking for some practical advice. Thanks.

Here are a few tips:

1. Try to buy equipment rather than lease it. This way you can take certain business deductions immediately and avoid long term payments that eat into your cash flow

2. Maximize the number of bills you pay with the credit card you get your 30 day window and the insurance if you are not satisfied with the product

3. Use travel aggregator websites like Cheap Flights, Airline Tickets, Cheap Airfare & Discount Travel Deals - Kayak.com to get the best travel deals

I think the best way you can save is through communication - use Skype for long distance calls, use wifi phones and email. Communication is such a big part of our jobs it can get expensive!

Buy used - go through ebay or somewhere else to buy used equipment use automation as the previous post said

There are a lot of legal documents you can save money on by using canned forms and contracts i.e. like consultant contracts, rather than having a lawyer draw one up.
