I have read a few great small business articles this week that I want to share with you.
The first is 10 Stupid Mistakes Made by the Newly Self-Employed by Steve Pavlina at StevePavlina.com. This article is not just for the newly self-employed, but also for those who are thinking about it and even for those who have been doing it for awhile. Steve will take you through some mistakes he made and the lessons he learned. You really need to go check this article out.
Next, there is a thought provoking article from Duct Tape Marketing called Is Mass Personalization Possible? This article talks about new ways to personalize your marketing and to increase your ROI.
And finally, one more from Duct Tape Marketing. Getting Listed In Google Maps is Even More Important will give you the low down on changes in Google search, and how they can be a very good thing for your local business (as long as you know what to do).
