Hey Twitter Fans! Ready For a Sneak Preview?

March 24, 2009, 4:04 pm

I’ve watched in amazement as our Twitter feed has gained so many followers without a single instance of promotion on our part. Thank you so much for your interest! As a special treat, just for you, I’m opening the site for a sneak preview. Please, come check it out, kick the tires, participate in the forums and let us know what you think!

The goal of the Contra Costa Small Business Community is to provide a resource for small businesses located in or servicing our local area. I’ve attended dozens of mixers, seminars, trade shows and other gatherings of local small business owners and have been inspired by the wealth of experiences and information out there. This my way of tapping into those resources and sharing them with others.

There are tons of opportunities here for you to share and learn with others in your community, with many more coming soon:

The Community Action Request List (aka CARL) is here to help you find solutions to your most pressing, immediate needs. Need a sign by next Thursday? Desperate for help with your website? Looking for a new admin assistant to start yesterday? CARL can help!
The Message Boards are the meat of the community. Discuss how well you’re weathering the economic storm. Discover new ways to market your business. Join our Small Business Book Club! Or, just chat about whatever happens to be on your mind. The more you participate, the more others will participate and the more value everyone gets from the exchange.
The Community Blogs, written by local experts, will focus on topics of particular interest to the local small business community. Expect interesting articles describing how to make the most of your business network contacts, small business profitability, both traditional and cutting edge marketing and technology that can give you the edge over your competition. Our blog will become a vital, relevant resource you’ll refer to again and again
