comment What “incubator culture” factors are critical to the success of a business incubator (or co-work environment)?
I tried to narrow it down a bit to just things the owner would have control over.

comment Hire a sales guy for a part-time start-up?
SEO and Paid Search is not just for people "looking for your product". It's for people who have the pain your product solves. I think you'd get more bang for your buck from hiring someone for $1000 or $2000 for a couple of months to help you with your Paid Search (Adwords, etc.).

comment Do I really need an accountant?
My software company is 17 years old and we've never had an accountant, and never needed one. I do have the benefit that my wife (who is not trained in that) enjoys it and is quite good at it. There are lots of benefits to doing it yourself : you know your business much better than an accountant and it's cheaper in the long run if you have the time. If you have more money than time, then yes, hire an accountant to SET UP things for you.

comment Is it appropriate to drop-in at a startup incubator?
Having some sort of "in" or introduction is really helpful. You might also use something like LinkedIn to see if you know someone who knows someone.

Ryan you raised a good point, so I clarified: resources are limited. I have time to do what impacts my business. I have a long list of things that I KNOW will impact it (new products, updated website, email newsletter) in very measurable ways. I'm just trying to figure out how much benefit FB/G+/Twitter (F'GiT :) would produce so I can figure out how much time to take away from the other activities.

What do you mean by "engage your customer's social side"? can you provide a couple of examples (ideally real successes for small companies) ?
