    Great job. Your website is such a GREAT resource for business owners. Especially owners who now find themselves working IN their business instead of just on it, since down-sizing has them wearing many hats.

    Thanks Will, I really apprecaite your continued support here!

    I know what you mean about wearing many hats. I’m currently the President, CFO, Director of Marketing, Technical Support, Sales, Customer Service, Cleaning Attendant, and provide Laundry Services for my business – and I have a partner!

    Have a great weekend,
    Matt

    I’m impressed by content and the traction you’ve built up. I can still remember when you had only a few hundred hits according to compete.com, and now you have over 10,000/month.
    Good job Matt!

    Hey thanks!

    Yeah, not sure about competes numbers, they never have quite matched our own, but we’ve certainly been growing nicely. We’re at about 3x what compete has for this month, it’ll be interesting to see what they have once they update for Feb.

    Anyway, the numbers are nice, but never been a focus. It’s more about helping people. If we got one hit a month and that person comes away with something that helped their biz, then I’d say Smallbizbee is a success!

    Appreciate your supprt,

    Matt

    Very nice compilation – I think I’ll visit this site more often – it’s a great way to improve the way I lead my company (it’s kinda small but the rules still apply). Thanks.

    Thanks George, yeah I think the information is really “timeless”, the principals of word of mouth marketing will still be working 50 years from now.

    That’s what’s nice about word of mouth marketing – company size has little to no bearing on what your customers think of you and what they tell people about what you do. Hope some of the principals here help your business grow!
