If you are starting an online startup company, there are a number of ways you can save money. Saving money early on in the startup process can mean the difference between your startup company making it big or your startup running out of money before it can hit its stride.

1. Don’t Reinvent the Wheel

Cariblogger launched about two months ago and currently has 129 blogs and 615 posts. The site is the idea of an all-Caribbean team – Trinidadian, Bajan and Guyanese whose business case for starting this venture can be summed up like this “The Caribbean has about 44 million people put together. That’s a pretty large market itself. And that’s not counting the millions living in the US, Canada and England who are also free to join.

We’ll also be launching a social networking site very soon to compliment cariblogger.com.”

Today, few writers are grabbing press releases from fax machines or Web sites to craft headline stories for print media.
