Question 2

http://www.deniseoberry.com/ - This blog gives "tips, tools and advice just for small businesses". It's written by Denise O'Berry, who works to help small businesses succeed.


seoworld.entrepreneur.com/ - discusses ways of using a blog to participate in social networking and advertise yourself.

http://www.networking.entrepreneur.com/ - discusses how to best use social media of various types, such as blogging, for one's business, and gives examples of different ways to network.

Besides blogging, an entrepreneur can use other online social media such as twitter and facebook. The advantage of blogging is it's use as a story-telling device - you can get on and talk as much or as little as you want about yourself and your product. Blogging is just as if not more effective than other types of social media because of that human interest aspect, which can attract more readers.

Thus far, I would give this research a four for supporting my thesis somewhat. There are many different types of social media, and although blogging reaches out to audiences in a slightly different way, it is still only one of many.
