Get some free promotion for your small biz!

Every week or so, I will be choosing a different small business to feature as my Super Star Small Business. For this time frame, you will have a section in the sidebar of the blog featuring your business, a mention in the Small Business Bliss newsletter, and shout outs on Twitter and Facebook (in addition to the link on this page which won’t go away). This is my way of saying thank you to all of the awesome small business owners and entrepreneurs that have connected with me and supported what I’m doing online.

How do I select the businesses? It comes down to catching my attention. If you are an active member of the Small Business Bliss community – commenting on blog posts, sharing stuff via Twitter, participating on the Facebook page – I’m going to take notice. So get interacting my friends!

Love this initiative Martina! I have learned so much from you with your awesome small biz tips. One of my faves so far is getting my company email address through Google apps. I was using my web hosting email and that was just awful. Thanks! Looking forward to more great stuff!!
