In this completely revised and expanded third edition, Levinson offers a new arsenal of weaponry for small-business success in the next century. Filled with strategies for marketing on the Internet (explaining when and precisely how to use it), tips for putting other new technologies to work, programs for targeting prospects and cultivating repeat and referral business, and management lessons in the age of telecommuting and freelance employees, this book will be the entrepreneur's marketing bible in the twenty-first century.

Six Steps to Free Publicity: And Dozens of Other Ways to Win Free Media Attention for You or Your Business
by Marcia Yudkin

Six Steps to Free PublicityReview: There are many good books on publicity. Yudkin certainly matches all the others and actually exceeds them in two areas--humor and creativity. Notwithstanding the fact that her title is somewhat misleading (the "six steps" refer to the processes involved in writing and distributing a news release) and that the use of the terms free publicity and free media attention are sure to cause great consternation among practicing public relations professionals, she does spell out all the best publicity techniques. Especially useful are her chapters on tip sheets, special events, and ways to overcome writer's block. Ideal for small business owners who are interested in particular in the possibilities of media exposure, this volume belongs in all public library business collections.
