Invaluable tools & help for small business
As entrepreneurs we need to do everything as efficiently as possible. It actually truly makes my day when I discover a tool that makes me more effective.
This afternoon my teammate Chuck Fuller passed along a link to me to update my Firefox web browser with a little diddy that displays the Google PageRank & Alexa web traffic stats in little boxes right in the bottom of the browser.
That rocks!
I’m constantly going to Alexa’s site & pasting in website url’s to see how much traffic the site is getting. Now I only need to glance at the bottom right of my screen.

Why, that would be you Joel!
In addition, my hubby pointed has helped me not to be petrified of excel…and in doing so, it’s helped me enourmously in inventory and database management.
But now that I’ve gotten comfortable with excel, I must move on to more modern software products that can help me with those things…

>money on my web site. It has been six months working
>and putting together my site. I haven’t had a customer
>yet! It started making me feel insecure about my

>would pay me, and also free advertizing! I said to
>myself Rose there has to be a catch here somewhere.
>Ironically there was an article listed in Start-Up
>Nation Newsletter. Don’t remember the whole title.
>It started out saying how they weren’t going to make
>Google any richer. At that time there was also an
>article in the News Paper about all the fraud that
>was going on with pay-per-click. How the larger business
>was out clicking smaller businesses and putting them
>out of business. So I went ahead with Google AdSense
>program. Not only I getting more customers coming my
>way also I am getting paid for it. I say this is a
>"thumbs-up" business tool.
