Setting up Google Apps for your Small Business

You've heard about Google Apps for business, but maybe you don't quite understand what it can do for you, or how you sign up for it.   Any of Google's applications are available for your use, but the actual Google Apps grouping of applications can work seamlessly to give you a professional and time-saving method of running your small business.


This Google Apps Webinar fully explains what Google Apps is and what it can do for your small business:

The second Google Apps Webinar will walk you through the set-up for a 30-day trial.

A Year From Now

Is the economy getting better? Take a look...

Before you allow yourself to get "down," thinking that economic recovery hasn't even begun ...... you need to read this, because it's not only begun, but it's creeping in quite steadily. Recovery via small business job creation is well under way, and faster than during the last (and smaller) recession in 2001. Naysayers get our "ears," but numbers are a better measure of where we are. Every time a small business hires someone, things get a little better. (Or is that "Every time you hear a bell ring, an angel gets his wings"?) Actually, it may be a bit of both -- that every time a new job is created, someone is touched by an angel. :-)
