Greatb point Nawaz, thank you. Please note, you don’t need to copy the entire article segment from the post. A lot of your comments end up going to spam because of it.
I’d go with learning if advertising is more of a expense or a gain. That is something that not every beginner knows and it can condemn their attempt or make it a success.

I think having a strong online presence for small business is really important.
It’s good to know who is talking about your business, online and offline, and their reactions.

Hi John, your title is caught my attention and i read your post ” 6 signs your small business ” also noticed #6 is not the essential for small business who just established in a matter months, why? because not every small business need to advertise on internet, if they just offering serviced,selling burgers or restaurant. They just need “mouth to mouth ” marketing or participate in workshops or events. that’s my opinion John.
