Last week, Brian Haines of About.com had the opportunity to have CEO and Co-Founder of BuzzStream, Paul May, respond to a Q&A. He runs a unique business, helping other business track their “buzz” and to create new activity.
Regarding how businesses should get started in social media, Paul advises:
“The best way to get started is to just get started…you don’t have to come up with the grand strategy beforehand. In my view, the key component is testing. For example, if your objective is to drive leads, try different approaches (commenting on posts, blogging, twitter, etc.) and watch your analytics to see how it impacts actual traffic, leads, and conversions.”

LinkedIn can serve as a valuable online job-hunting tool, even for those who want to work at home, but you’ll want to use LinkedIn to its full advantage to be successful.

Kudos to the search engines for dropping a great business right in your lap. Starting an online business has now just become a much easier proposition as a small business marketing consultant.
“Huh?” you say. “What?” you ask.
Well, if you read my blog post Google Goes Loco, Oops, I Mean Local on All Searches you’ll know that since April of 2009 Google has been serving local results with its search results. You see from its own research Google has discovered that 70% of its searches is done with local intent. That means 70% of the time people are searching Google, they are looking for products or services from “local” businesses. Since Google wants to stay on top as the #1 Search Engine, the people at Google decided that they better make provisions for local business search results…so voila, Local Search was born. By the way, Bing and Yahoo followed suit with their own local search results, as well.
