Small business owners will want to bookmark www.ebizblog.ca and return regularly to this e-business weblog to learn how easy and inexpensive it can be to get started using Internet technology.
Vancouver, B.C. (PRWEB) December 14, 2004 -- Small business owners will want to bookmark www.ebizblog.ca and return regularly to this e-business weblog to learn how easy and inexpensive it can be to get started using Internet technology.
Started by the folks at eBusiness Connection, designed as an extension of the www.e-bc.ca website, and marketed as 'e-business commentary, inspiration and tips for small businesses on a budget, eBizBlog.ca is casual in tone, packed with useful reviews and suggestions, and allows readers to interact with e-business consultants and commentators Sheena Daniels and Robert Lewis. In the first two weeks of posts, www.ebizblog.ca has provided advice on hot topics such as how to sell on eBay, little known Google tools, and low-cost email marketing strategies.
This blog does two things", says Rob Lewis. First, it introduces small business owners to blogging technology and shows them what blogs can do for their own business. Second, its an easy way for us to reach our audience on a personal level. Through a blog, we can disseminate timely, relevant information, encourage discussion between peers, and get immediate feedback from the small business community."
Small and micro businesses are statistically the last adopters of technology", says Sheena Daniels. On the face of it, youd think that anyone in business today is using Internet technology in their business processes. But thats just not so. Since budget and time constraints are the number one reasons small business owners give for not utilizing the online channel, weve tried to address both those issues, by offering cost-effective options, and providing them in a highly accessible format."
Blogs, as creative online journals, have been used by those 'in the know for a number of years, but business blogs, or b-blogs are just now making inroads into the mainstream. As an alternative, very low-cost means of electronic communication, blogs can make up a significant part of a business overall marketing strategy. Though b-blogs carry an inherent marketing focus not found in creative weblogs, their casual structure provides the opportunity to connect on a more immediate and personal level than traditional business websites and newsletters allow.
The eBizBlog can be found at www.ebizblog.ca.
