Having recently discovered www.tradepub.com , I wanted to share it with you and suggest you pass it along to your clients and colleagues. Just browse through their extensive list of free business and trade magazines, white papers, downloads and podcasts. Choose from titles that suit your skills and interests including topics relating to management, marketing, operations, sales, and technology. This is absolutely free to all professionals who qualify, so make sure to fill out the application forms completely. It's also a great way to learn about other industries you might like to pursue and market to.
I hope you find this Resourceful. Inspired. Affordable. Personal.
Warmly,

Bartering is an excellent way to get new clients (paying referrals) and the services/products you need for your business (or pleasure) without spending out of pocket cash. The following list shows an example of professions and industries you may never have thought of, that can provide bartering. http://www.barterconsultants.com/products_services.cfm
It might just be worth determining what you can offer professionally, not just for business services but for that massage or trip all your hard work deserves! And if your hobbies or other skills you excel at fall into a category, then put them to work for you too!
You can barter through your own networks and contacts or join any number of services. Here is a link to some national resources you can start with. http://vipbarter.com/links.shtml.
