Keeping up with the great big growing world of business can be difficult but extremely beneficial. In an effort to help, there are several great blogs out there, other than this one of course, that can be extremely informative.
Today one small business blog talked about the fact that the writer feels as though the contributors of the google small business blog have no innovation. In addition to talking about the dos and don’ts of small business this blog was also discussing the rules of how to succeed in social media. The tips are helpful and the exchange of information found on not only this but several other blogs makes them worth the sifting through of the world wide web worth the effort.
Another way to keep up is to make sure that your company is taking part in the social media boom. It is no longer enough to simply have a website, now you need a facebook group page, a twitter account, and I’m told a foursquare spot for people to ‘check in’ to.
