Small Business Advice Fast and Easy to Find at BizSugar

Small business owners and those of us who advise them need a fast way to find the best content related to marketing and running a small business.

My readers may already be familiar with voting sites like Sphinn for SEO. BizSugar is a similar voting site that focuses specifically on information of interest to small business owners including Small Business Advice.

Since many blogs ARE small businesses and I and many of my favorite bloggers offer small business advice I am encouraging us to all become active on BizSugar.

BizSugar is free to join – find, share and support
high quality Small Business Advice

My WordPress consultant Derek Semmler has already added the BizSugar this! button to the top of the posts just to the right of the Twitter, Facebook and StumbleUpon sharing buttons and I encourage all bloggers in our niche to do the same.

The more of us who are active on BizSugar
the more supportive and influential we are.

Jim Kukral and Small Business Trends were nice enough to put together this short (9:05 minute) video on how to use BizSugar:

How do you become a collaborator?

Simply support whatever these bloggers do that you believe in:

Vote for their content on BizSugar IF you like it.
Retweet their Tweets on Twitter.
Review them on StumbleUpon.
Friend them on Facebook.
Like their Facebook Fan pages.
Consider adding their RSS feeds to your Twitter using TwitterFeed or your favorite Twitter Management Tools IF you feel their posts are consistently of interest to you and your followers.
Connect with them and friend/like/review their blogs on Blog Communities like BloggerLuv, Technorati, Blog Engage and other Blog Directories.

What we need is a tool that collates all this information that can pull up collaborators by niche, location, or closeness. I’ve been seeking someone who can create this tool (which would be highly marketable and we would gladly test and promote it) since my post SMM Tools Wanted for Power Bloggers, Social Networkers published in December 2009.
