Business Credit Cards: Picking the “Write One”

Using a business-specific card for business expenses is generally a smart idea. Rewards on business cards are often richer than on personal cards, and they allow you to keep personal and business finances separate -- at least for accounting purposes.

By reporting to the business credit agencies, you're building a credit history for the business which can only help - in securing financing for the best loan terms down the road. We always have to be thinking ahead. Business Down the road 60, 90, and 189 days ahead. It pays to plan !!


Network the ability to soicalize on the network, and make money doing it!

The amount of networks we have availbale to market your small businees, Linkedin, Facebook and Myspace. The expansion of social-networking sites and new tools making online interaction easier are giving small businesses new opportunities to network with each other and their customers, and to expand their reach. Instead of just setting up a network for their own customers, many are realizing the benefits of hooking up with other businesses to collectively raise their profile in a particular geographic area or industry.
Using social networking for marketing isn't as easy as it may appear, though. It requires the network's founders to first generate a healthy membership base of other businesses and consumers and then get those members to feel compelled to return frequently to the site and contribute content.
