This is a guest post courtesy of Lior (thanks for an AWESOME contribution) and why your current market research may not be entirely accurate. Due to the increasing rise of social media channels, your right people may want something slight different than what you are positioned to offer them and you wouldn’t know it unless you knew they may have somewhat dueling personalities. As in their...
Happy Tuesday BGB’ers! OK so this is a guest post courtesy of Jon with a look at a handful of somewhat wacky biz ideas that actually worked! I thought this was a fun piece to share with you partway into the work week, especially for those of you still stuck in the dreaded J.O.B. Maybe it will give you a little inspiration to pursue that entrepreneurial idea you’ve got percolating...
This is a guest post courtesy of Yeremi. You probably already know list building is important as an entrepreneur. But everyone has different strategies when it comes to growing that list. Some work… Some… not so much. Needless to say it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak. That’s why Yeremi has put together this whopper of a guest post, just for you...
This is a guest post with some tips and pointers on managing and writing for your social business profiles. Everyone has differing opinions on the best way to use social media platforms of course. However I think this post gives some solid advice you’d be wise to consider implementing, if you don’t already. Now for the uber cool part. This post comes courtesy of Liberty- Belle Howard...
This is a guest post courtesy of Miz Jenna where she very astutely breaks down how the Oxfam charity organization uses Twitter in an extremely effective way. The result is brand recognition, organization growth, and ultimately making a difference in this world. Take a page or two from their book and apply it to your own business strategy and you might just be surprised with the results! As...
This is a guest post courtesy of Amanda with her take of the top 5 oddball (yet oddly effective) promotional items you might want to consider implementing for your business and brand. I personally love the fuzzy frizzy finger duster and the magic answer ball. Another cool item I’ve seen used in the past are those small round rubberish things that people can use to twist the lids off of jars...
Hey there BGB’ers… this is a guest contribution regarding something highly important to the success of your biz. In a word? Money honey! OK so that’s two words. Sue me, maybe you’ll get some. 😉 Actually this post is more about the MANAGE-ment of money which we all know is just as important as making it. If you don’t learn to manage it properly you can make money all...
This is a guest post contributed by Adam Powers on Miz Snook-ay Snook-ay. Why would you want to read such a post you ask? Well… barring the inevitable “BECAUSE I SAID SO” shout, I recommend you read it because you might just learn a thing or two about growing a brand. People like Snooki don’t just “fall into” fame and build loyal followers (well… at least...
This is a guest post courtesy of Lewis Love (<3 that name) that I hope you find useful. As any small business owner knows, to leverage your efforts can produce great rewards… but it can often be tough to do on a tight budget. Hiring international students (and actually college students in general) can be a great way to help you gain that leverage but still respect yourself and your...
This is a guest post courtesy of Alan Grant. I thought it’d be a fun piece to share with my fellow dorks as choosing your work space can vary massively based on personal predispositions. This post highlights a couple (ahem) less than traditional ideas for your office. My advice for the day? EVERY one should have an office in a fracken tree! Now who wants to make me one? 😉 Oh and as always...
