Blogs and social media sites (Twitter, Facebook etc.) are:

• Affordable. Most cost little or nothing at least for basic service
• Effective. They can allow you to speak directly to customers, potential customers and partners in a broader community
• Beneficial. Social media allows a more conversational tone than more conventional marketing messages

So why aren't more local businesses using social media, asks Don of DonPower.com? If you've got a great example of using social media for home based business or other local business ventures, he'd like to hear. And mention us when you do.
