<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

The recent purchase of AllBusiness.com<\/a>, a wildly popular business focused website, for $55 million by Dun & Bradstreet, was done to enhance D&B’s internet presence. It has, thanx in some part to it’s industry savvy blogging team…. <\/p>\n

<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This team of industry specific experts has probably helped increase AllBusiness.com<\/a>‘s<\/a> web rankings. {In January of this year, AllBusiness.com exceeded the 3 million visitor a month milestone.} WOW
\nThat figure clearly puts the AllBusiness.com website property near the top of the heap, in business related websites.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

It is my pleasure to announce that I am now running the AllBusiness.com Franchise Blog<\/span>! I will do a new article once a week, and do some cross-posting from other blogs of mine, too. I am honored to be able to get involved with the AllBusiness.com team. The audience that this website attracts is one of the most sought after ones in advertising circles. This audience includes a large following of small to medium sized Business Owners and Partners, CEO’s, COO’s, Directors, Presidents, and VP’s,- SVP’s. In addition, future entrepreneurs constantly visit AllBusiness.com for start-up advice…and that is where I come in.<\/p>\n

I want to thank a few folks who have cheered me on, and encouraged me to keep on, keepin on.
\nThey are:<\/p>\n

Jim Blasingame-The Small Business Advocate<\/a>
\nJim is considered one of the Top 25 Small Business Experts in the World, and I am humbled to be interviewed on the topic of franchising 4-5 times every year. Jim, you are the best.Thank you for your amazing support! You can write that on a rock….<\/p>\n

Anita Campbell-of Small Business Trends LLC.
\nAnita, thank you so much for approaching me to be the "Franchise Expert In Residence" on your award winning SmallBizTrends <\/a>website. Your article writing tips have been invaluable…<\/p>\n

George Nemeth-Brewed Fresh Daily
\nGeorge, I am so glad that we met a couple of years or so ago. Your unwavering belief in me, and what my little franchise consulting business does to bring new businesses into Northeast Ohio, is greatly appreciated. Being an infrequent guest author on BFD ain’t bad either…<\/p>\n

Tim Ferris- TimFerris.blogspot.com <\/a>
\nTim, we met last year, and I shared my frustrations with you about not getting my blog, and my writing to the next level fast enough. You told me not to give up, because bigger things were around the corner for me. Thanx for your faith in me!<\/p>\n

Jim Kukral- JimKukral.com<\/a>
\nJi, I heard you speak about blogging almost 2 years ago at The Powerhouse, in the Flats. You reminded me of…well…me. Sarcastic.Focused. Funny. never Give Up Attitude.
\nWe were able to get to know each other in person a few times in the past two years, and you always challenge me. Thanx, dude. Jim Kukral. True Internet geek. And a savvy marketer! Bonding with Mark Cuban<\/a>. GEEZ!<\/p>\n

Jill Miller Zymon-Writes Like She Talks<\/a> {My fav. blog title..ever!}
\nYou are just so damn honest. And so damn funny. You inspire. You are also the BEST writer I know. Thank you for your little kudos, and for your support….<\/p>\n

Carole Cohen- Cleveland Real Estate News<\/a>
\nI am so glad we met. You are ALWAYS the first to comment, and the first to root me on. Thanx. Your blog is sooo cool……….<\/p>\n
