This is a guest post courtesy of Patricia. In this post she discusses tablet users. Specifically, who they are, why they matter, and how to reach them! As an active iPad user myself, I can relate to the frustration users sometimes feel when attempting to visit sites not optimized for mobile type devices and easy browsing. If that sounds like your website, here’s why you should work on...
This is a guest post courtesy of MyBlogGuest. As ya’ll know, I’m a big fan of “not breaking the bank” when you’re trying to get your business off the ground. (It’s why I love freelance writing… virtually no start-up costs!) Powers of deduction means your necessary business budget really boils down to what sort of business you plan on starting in the first...

Please make her feel welcome and let us know if there’s a mobile app you absolutely could not live without in the comments. Keep your start-up responsive, agile, and up-to-date Mobile apps and cloud computing have made it a great time to be an entrepreneur: you can access information and...
This is a guest post courtesy of Lior again. Excellent advice to ensue! Happy reading BGB’ers, do make him feel welcome by sharing your thoughts in the comments below. The failure of a leader does not necessarily mean the failure of your organization. Nevertheless, aside from bankruptcy, the fall of a key leader may be one of the most threatening events in the life of a company. How your...
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 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 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...
