Reviewing my classmates posts is a very interesting experience. Only one person from my group had a post to view so I ventured out to other classmates blogs.
Everyone is so different. What works for one business does not always carry over to another.
Andrew Estelle made an interesting point that with enough imagination any business owner can utilize business specific online tools. I must admit, I am not very imaginative and I really don't think imagination and accounting go hand in hand.
LinkedIn seemed to carry over to all of the blogs that I viewed. Networking and connections were the main reasoning, but also access to helpful information.
Nancy Williams brought to my attention FreeConferencCall.com. I really like the fact that she mentioned that she has not had any connection issues. I also appreciate that it is free and callers get a 1-800 number to call along with a code to connect.
I think that these classmates did a good job finding specific tools for their businesses. Everyone seemed to be dialed in to what would work for them. From LinkedIn to Google for Business to Vimeo and Spotify. It was interesting to discover what else is out there, but I wouldn't use for my business. I do think that everyone could utilize Google My Business. You don't have to have a storefront to use this tool. All you need is to state your region/area and what you do. It would be beneficial to drive traffic to their websites. LinkedIn looks like it is the common denominator.
