This is a guest post courtesy of Clare with some great tips for writing your own web copy. While it’s fab (and highly recommended) to hire a pro writer for help with your web copy (and other marketing materials), sometimes it’s simply beyond the budget. At least for now. (Right?! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) When that’s the unfortunate scenario, don’t despair. You CAN be a...
This is a guest post courtesy of Melissa. I’m glad she’s covering this topic because talking categories and tags bore me to tears! LOL However they are a necessary evil when you run a blog, and Melissa does a great job of explaining why. Methinks I may redo my own categories in the near future to make finding things more streamlined! Please make her feel welcome by sharing your...
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.

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...
