Marketing resources for small businesses

[jlknauff]

Ok, this is the resources chapter for the book that I'm working on. I'm looking for any other web sites that some of you may know about that would be useful for small businesses that handle their own marketing. It's ok to post your own site - just keep in mind that we are looking for things that a business owner would be using themselves so as an example, don't post a graphic design company/freelancer web site. Thx guys!

No one has any input?

[nyc_skater]

I think it's the ABC approach that's throwin em off...well, me at least. I think if you had clumps of genres grouped together it might make sense to people, but i just see a lot of links to various things with no subtitle to clue me in what it's all about.

[jlknauff]

The info on each of the things is in the book...they are in alphabetical order in the resources dir so that people can go back and find them easily after reading about them. I may end up doing a catagorized version of this chapter as well for the people who are a little more savvy when it comes to marketing and already know what they are looking for.
