Publication Date: 2010-06-30
During the toughest recessions in years, Americans have become more resourceful than ever, creating a record 558,000 new businesses per month -- a 14-year high -- in 2009. While these small businesses are the crutch of the economy, making up more than 99.7 percent of employers, it is hard to not only separate yourself from the pack, but also to just stay afloat. To achieve success, many businesses have taken their ingenuity online to market themselves digitally in the new Web 2.0 world -- the interactive and information-sharing digital age. You can't conquer the business world without first letting people know you exist. Spreading the knowledge about your business is where social media comes in. You will discover how to draw visitors to your Web site with search engine optimization (SEO) and how to use Webinars, blogs, and podcasts to establish yourself as a leader in your industry.
