Green Tips for Small Businesses

The Power of Posting
I, too, was always skeptical of online forums. Posting and chatting online seemed to have such a “nerdy” connotation to it, and furthermore, could it really be that helpful? As one of my approaches to social marketing, I’ve been posting and commenting in forums more than ever before. Not only do I respond and offer [...]
my thoughts on Biznik
So… I signed up for a free account on Biznik yesterday. I did the tour, researched how I could best utilize this account, etc. After all is said and done, I’m very impressed.

One last video…

I was sent a link to this graphic design video on You Tube… so true, except for the super hero part. The Graphic Avenger – Trust Your Graphic Designer
Elevator Speech
I have to make a mini-presentation to my local PWN network on Thursday evening. I say mini because I only have 10 minutes to talk about my business, what I offer and how I can help business owners. I’ve been told to practice my elevator speech for this little talk – have a brief summary [...]
