If you've never done a market research before, you should find a family member or friend that does them (someone will, I promise) and sign up to whoever they're with. And then, boom, every month or so you'll get a call vetting you for a research group on everything from wine to insurance to (blurgh) fizzy milk. You'll have to sit in a room looking at ads or telling a researcher how you feel about this poster or that one, and you're usually in a group of about 8 people and there's a one-way mirror in the room with the ad guys or the brand guardians or whatever they're called these days sitting with notepads, possibly naked because who'd know, and at the end you get given a little envelope with money in it and if it's a booze session you also get a cabcharge to get you home safely. Tidy little earner yo.

Coworking should be more of an experience than a regular office. Unfortunately Vibewire somehow…read moreforgot to share the vibe from its name to the experience. The reasons for working here should be collaboration that spawns innovation between different people in a network. Imagine working with and besides the people you'd love to network with. Besides from the lacklustre approach to the space, they do offer some events to the public and members to the space, which are in and around business acumen and social/tech trends. The space is available for people on a daily rate, and monthly rate, with discounts to additional bulk purchases. There are no coffee shops within a 10 minute walk, and there's no coffee within the establishment, which makes for a relatively horrible working environment - can't imagine doing more than half a day without the caffeine in my blood.

Anyone trying to start a new business knows that there are heaps of expenses that need to be laid…read moreour before a dollar makes it back into your pockets. One of the major costs for start ups is rent - and that's where coworking spaces become really handy. Positioned on Harris street, across from Ian Thorpe swimming pool, Vibewire offers a place for social entrepeneurs to set up shop. Sometimes its for a day, perhaps for a week, others can stay for years as their business's begin to grow. Having worked in Vibewire I can tell you it's great. There's a lot of benefits to sharing a space - besides just having a "work office" you can find new work colleagues, collaborate on projects or even have a few after work drinks. There are quite a few eateries in walking distance, may I suggest Harris street cafe (across the road) and Le Depot (2 mins walk away). You hire a desk which comes with internet, use of the tea/ coffee facilities and "board room" desk. There's a great young vibe and really funky aesthetics.... I would definitely recommend this to any person trying to start up their own business. My only problems about Vibewire is 1) Lack of parking -and the parking officers in this area are mean.... 2) No privacy - sometimes you want to hide behind a door and not be heard.... Vibewire doesn't really offer that. Good luck on your start up/ new idea - I hope you become the next Zuckerberg.

Ok, so I didn't ask that, and I still don't know where the name Cup computers came from. But I did ask about buying a mouse. $10. Hard to beat, unless your on ebay and willing to wait 4 weeks for delivery. But, this store doesn't focus on selling anything actually. Whilst they do sell computer accessories, this place focuses on computer repairs. Just as necessary as either a mouse or a cup computer. This is a handy thing to have around. The guy at the counter was friendly and very helpful, and we all know how important that is in computer repairs - as that is often the most frustrating time of our lives. So, in conclusion, I'd recommend the place. Good job Cup Computers. Just dont expect you'll be buying any.

We were also charged miscellaneous charges that we didn't agree to and when we asked about the charges we got no response. I found the team to be very hard working and positive when trying to resolve issues but I felt that even they were frustrated with the product. I feel, after talking to many of my business associates about their websites, that we made a mistake trusting ebpearls.com.au, so do your research and explore all options before you go ahead. Just remember that it's your money and your business that you are putting on the line.

Two months of cajolling someone who would really rather be on his trampoline or on the footy field or in front of a computer game. The poster is an unmitigated pain, he's done it on a MacBook Air. We've tried three different printing places and one massive joint where Officework ...ers go. No luck - wrong format , need a different USB, cant format on a PC - do we have a PC at home. In desperation I get on the net. Someone suggests I speak with Paul at Cloud Print Creative. "Easy" he says "just email it to me." Half an hour later I'm trying to find his office in an industrial complex in Chatswood. Once located Paul hands over three beatifully printed posters on quality stiff paper. He's at work on his own, printing machines everywhere all super high tech stuff. And a bag of golf sticks leaning against a desk. Cool. " Whats the damage?" I ask, in a full crouch having already calculated how fast I can sprint to the car. "Dont worry about it mate - such a small job" When I get I get home I have a very happy son and a hugely relieved wife. Got on the net and checked these guys out. Turns out they are big, contracts with Hamilton Island, Kawasaki, those massive posters you see at the airport - these guys made them. What if, every time you had a problem there was someone like Paul that happily helped and made your day easy and fun. Do you want to know what I love about Yelp? Well I'm going to tell you anyway. It gives us a voice. I get a chance, however small, to say thanks for a good deed and to give these guys an honest rap. Hopefully theres a gazillionaire out there who needs a gigantic printing job - give it to Cloud Print Creative.
