Your Yahoo Profile as a Business Tool

When is the last time you updated your Yahoo Profile?

Was it around 1995? No way, where did the time go?!?
Chances are, your details have changed!
You may use Yahoo for email, or you may have a Yahoo username for Yahoo Groups.

Your Yahoo Profile can be a useful sales tool for your business. Did you know that you can have as many as four website links in your Yahoo Profile? Why not also use your Yahoo Profile to tell people a little bit about yourself and your business? Get your business link in there!

There is the concern about privacy, if you use your Yahoo ID to go to Yahoo Chat, then I would recommend a more detail-hidden Yahoo ID and Profile, but for business networking groups, I would definitely keep my Yahoo Profile filled out and up-to-date. If you don't want to post a photo of yourself, remember that you could instead post a photo of your product.

Places to post a free ad online

Rochelle Noel of The PC Link emailed in two great places to post a free advertisement online.

www.backpage.com and www.kijiji.com . You can post in multiple cities and categories on Kajiji. Backpages also offers the opportunity to post in multiple cities at paid level fairly affordably - it just depends on which cities you select.

I added them to our link list. If you would like more sites that allow free ads, check our links in the sidebar, on the right of this blog - scroll down near the bottom to locate them.

Now you know where we have them all linked, you can come back to www.WomenofGwinnett.com anytime you want to post an ad, and get to many great places quickly. Remember to bookmark our page, or sign up to receive updates to our site automatically!

Thanks again, Rochelle, for sharing those two great links!
