Happy New Year!

Hope everyone has a healthy, prosperous, and happy new year.
We are continuing to work on our own web sites and emphasize on web development, computer tutoring, remote help with computer software issues problems, and training. We will also continue with our business services and preventative and cloud services.
Remember many computer problems are either software or network problems. Many computer hardware problems can be avoided by preventative maintenance such as avoiding and cleaning dust, unplugging router if having network issues, and doing automatic backups. Also, many computers have at least a 1 year warranty.
We can help with a lot of software and training remotely.  We will also be able to continue help  online. We do remote help,  web design and online. We will also go out to local businesses in the city limits of Brainerd/Baxter on a limited basis.
In the past year we have made some major updates to our web sites
New online invoice system for Nate’s Computer Services
New shopping cart for Nate’s Computer Services
Added Free business listings, Free event calendars, blogs, discussion boards, and Free classified ads to:
Brainerd Update
Onamia Area Website
Milaca Area Website
TwinCitiesMN.com
Did I mention those business listings, event listings, discussion were free?
Why free?
Many competitors (such as Google places, and Craigslist) offer free listings so to keep our site competitive ours will too.
We continue offer paid advertising with our featured business listings.
 
Striving to make your technology experience better.

Bookkeeping software I chose

I chose to use Godaddy Bookkeeping as my new bookkeeping software.
Quickbooks (my old program) keeps taking features away so I decided  to look for a new program. Also, I wanted the software to be cloud based and record transactions automatically.
Godaddy bookkeeping does that.  First, before testing providers I waited for MidMinnesota Federal Credit Union to upgrade online banking software first. (the new online banking has added basic bookkeeping of its own such as putting transactions in categories)
I just import the the qfx file that I download from the online banking. Some Banks  and other online accounts can show up automatically with go Daddy bookkeeping.
The software also allows adding images such as receipts or invoices to a transaction and Will put items into their proper accounts matched with their tax category.
The software does not file taxes or do payroll.
It can send out invoices and give customers an option to pay online.
I have been a customer with Godaddy for over 10 years and I am an affiliate and reseller

Emphasizing on web based and digital services.

To emphasize more on our web based services and digital photography services we will be doing no hardware repair (no exceptions). It was actually discontinued in 2007 but since it was advertised we still allowed a limited amount of computer hardware repair.

Service Change

Paypal is no longer our preferred method of payment.
For the following reasons:

  1. Change of Paypal’s polices
  2. Payment delays through Ebay.
  3. The money in Paypal is not FDIC insured
  4. They no longer offer interest in the account.
  5. Debit card rejected even with adequate money in account.

For now we will continue to allow payments through Paypal, however it may be discontinued soon.   Services our business to business partners (such as Domains and Hosting) offer may still continue to use Paypal.
We have already discontinued using Ebay.  Not enough disclosure of when transactions are international, high fees, and payment delays.
