But there’s definitely a right way to do it – both in terms of Facebook policies and to make the most of the different types of connection. Join us for an introduction to the different types of Facebook accounts (user, group, page, event…) and instruction on how to create a page.

60 Percent of MN Small Businesses Don’t Have a Web Site

MPR News recently reported that 60 percent of small businesses in Minnesota do not have a web site. Google is working to change that. MPR reports

To help link those businesses to potential customers, Google is coordinating a nationwide push to connect small businesses to the Internet. Earlier this month in St. Paul, some 900 businesses attended a Google-sponsored workshop on the Web, enticed in part by the offer of free websites for one year.

Businesses in rural Minnesota are also getting help from the Minnesota Intelligent Rural Communities (MIRC) project. At MNREM, we’ve been participating with webinars on a range of related topics, but we’re also keeping an eye on projects from University of Minnesota Extension with the online marketing on-site classes for businesses.
