“Plug” your small business
Uncategorized April 22nd, 2008One of the things I have loved about this blogging stuff is the ability it gives people to build their networks of contacts, service providers and potential customers.
For SME’s to be successful they have to build networks of good contacts to get their name and brand out there. Obviously as a blogger it helps to build your network of people using your blog.
For that reason I have decided to put this post out there for SME owners to “plug” (promote) their business. Write a couple of lines on your business and a hyperlink to your website in the comments box below – lets see what kind of network we can build here. It will be interesting to see how many people take advantage of this post. Obviously it’s a free ad and inbound link for them so I hope that people capitalize on the opportunity.
Look forward to learning about your small business!
