Consider yourself hipped:

Andertoons at Small Business Trends
Yes, I am an expert.
*ahem*
…at least according to the very good folks over at Small Business Trends, who’ve been kind enough to bestow that title on me in exchange for the occasional business cartoon.
Check out today’s cartoon, my bio, and Anita’s really nice intro.

They Like You! They Really Like You!
Congrats to my favorite business blogger, Anita Campbell, for being chosen as Internet Marketing Report‘s Marketer of the Week!
Julie Power also interviews Anita:
JP – What is the one thing that a small business MUST have online to succeed?
AC – Perseverance. Many small businesses give up too soon. It’s easy to go out of business when you hit a rough patch, because the alternative — facing down the challenges — is so ugly and unpleasant.
Perseverance is especially important online, because it takes months (being wildly optimistic) or years to draw significant traffic and build an online brand today. There’s so much more competition on the Web.
So you have to be in it for the long haul – have a long term plan and work your plan everyday, even if sometimes you question whether you are making progress.
It’s stuff like that that keeps Small Business Trends at the top of my feed reader.
(BTW, Julie, did you know you’re a superhero?)

As Andertoons continues to grow and expand, I’m always looking to get smarter about the business end of things. Marketing, legal stuff, tech trends… Ugh… There’s a lot to get up to speed on.
One of my favorite sites as of late is Small Business Trends. Editor Anita Campbell and her crew consistently inspire and educate me.
