Small Business Website Tips, Social Media

Weekly Roundup: Website and Social Media Resources (Dec 13 – Dec 19)

Here are a few resources that I believe provide valuable, accurate and timely information for developing your business, website, blog and/or social media presence. I’ve included resources from well known sources, as well as a few less popular sources. In 2010, be sure to diversify your online resource library by supporting your smaller, less known blogs & websites.

TIP: Realizing that there are only 24 hours in a day and a significant portion of that is used for work, eating, sleeping, drinking coffee, and Christmas shopping you may wish to create a “To Read” bookmark folder in your favorite internet browser, then save (bookmark) the following links into that folder. Once you’ve read the article, you can print & save your favorite articles, then delete the item from the “To Read” bookmark folder. This will help you manage your list of articles “To Read”.
