Internet2Go (http://internet2go.net) ,an Opus Research advisory service in conjunction with MerchantCircle, (www.merchantcircle.com) , the largest social network for small business, conducted an online survey of more than 2,000 US small business and found that these companies depend largely on social media to get there brand and business name out there. In fact, nearly half of the small businesses surveyed utilize online media sources to promote their company.

Why? Well, as I mentioned in my last post, Twitter and Facebook allow small businesses that may have a shoe-string budget, free advertising and a means to reach thousands of potential clients and customers.  The social media craze is great news for start ups.

If you don’t already have one, get your company name on Twitter and Facebook.  It’s free.

Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.
