Greetings!
Time to walk the talk and put out my own newsletter. The goal will be to bring you monthly info you can actually use. Plus I'll keep you up-to-date on opportunities to help your business. If you have some burning question you'd like answered or a topic you're curious about, drop me a line.  |
Tools You Can Use
Create your own browser toolbar 
Toolbars make links and information readily available to a user from their browser. You may have seen the toolbars from Firefox and Google. Now you can easily create one of your own using the free toolbar application from Conduit, or you can try my new toolbar which gives you access to small business resources, news and networking sites, no matter where you're surfing.

Local Search Matters
Beyond promoting your site through search engines that target the entire Web, you can get free and low-cost listings in local search engines. This allows you to be found by people looking for local products and services, and gives you the ability to stand apart from competitors in other locations.
When placing information, use geographically and culturally relevant descriptions, i.e., the Eastside, Emerald City, etc., to help distinguish you from national companies.
