StartupNation's New Blog Offers Insights on Using Technology for your Business

Birmingham, MI (PRWEB) July 17, 2007 -- If you are looking of ways to use technology to increase sales, market your business, or improve your efficiency, check out StartupNation's blog, "Web Technology for Entrepreneurs," at http://www.startupnation.com/blog/, by Nikole Gipps, StartupNation's new web technology guide.

Gipps is no stranger to the challenges of entrepreneurs. She works with entrepreneurs on a daily basis through her company, and is an active participant in the StartupNation community through the StartupNation SUNbassador program. "Building a strong network of smart, passionate entrepreneurs is what StartupNation is all about," she says, "and I am happy to do what I can and share what I know with the small business community."

According to StartupNation co-founder and chief startupologist Rich Sloan, "Nikole has been an incredibly active and value-adding member of the StartupNation online forums. So, it was only natural to create a way for her to share her smarts through an RSS feed-friendly vehicle like the StartupNation blogs."

Visitors to the free blog can:

* Read about exciting, new web applications that can improve their business processes.

* Learn how to use technology to market themselves online.

* Get practical advice on uncommon uses of available web technology.

* Share comments and feedback.

* Meet other entrepreneurs through StartupNation.com's online forums.

* Buy and sell products and services and promote a business in StartupNation Marketplace.

* Learn what's needed to start a new business quickly and cost effectively.

"I work with a lot of entrepreneurs that have great ideas, but lack the time to follow technology trends that may help them," Gipps says. "I wanted to launch this new blog so that we could present the advice to them in an easily digestible format - basically, what they need to know, and how they can get started using this technology today."

Gipps is on a mission. "I hope to help StartupNation continue its mission to help entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses through this blog. Technology is a huge obstacle that entrepreneurs must overcome in order to compete in today's marketplace, so hopefully I can help reduce that barrier for StartupNation's readers."
