Small business owners with limited budgets should take advantage of the HubSpot service network to grow their business. The service network comprises a number of marketing agencies that specialize in using HubSpot to help companies get found online, generate more leads and increase revenue.

Small business owners, and particularly those do-it-yourselfers, most often lack the time it takes to do inbound marketing. That's why the HubSpot service network exists. It's to help you get the work done by having a Partner do it for you.  This gives you more time to work on other aspects of growing your business while still reaping the benefits that inbound marketing can bring.

Business owners with small budgets can hire a partner to help them do the heavy lifting by taking on the time consuming yet important tasks that are part of a successful inbound marketing campaign.  Link Building, landing page creation, CMS assistance, blog writing, article marketing, keyword research, social media and more are all services that you can find in the HubSpot Service Network.

Don't let lack of time or a limited budget stop you from reaping the benefits of inbound marketing. You can hire a Partner to do as much or as little as you want. 

I spoke with a solo business owner this morning who mentioned he doesn't have time for social media networking even though he knows he should. "I'm too busy trying to sell my products" he said. "That's precisely why you should be networking on Twitter or Facebook" I said. Who do people buy from? They buy from people they know, trust and like. Or, they buy from someone who has been recommended by a friend. Twitter and Facebook are full of friends; old, new and soon to be.

The beauty of Facebook and Twitter is they are "social' by nature. Twitter is like a business mingle. It isn't the place for pushy sales pitches. Subtle yes, pushy no. Twitter is a great place to meet people and engage them in conversation. Curious as humans are they will want to check out your Twitter profile, with your website URL, allowing them to follow and learn more about your business. 

I think of Facebook as more of a town square. It's a place where friends gather to meet as well check out the offerings in the marketplace. I can go to my Facebook account and see the goings-on of all my friends at a glance. I can catch up with old friends and check out the new groups I've joined all at the same time. I can see who's offering what and decide whether I'm interested or not. 

The bottom line is this: if you're a small business owner interested in selling online you need to make the time to network on Facebook and Twitter. Granted, there are some online businesses that may not benefit from either of these 2 social media outlets. But how will you know if you don't at least see what they have to offer. There's no debate that both places provide an opportunity for you ,and ultimately your business, to be seen, heard and recognized. That's a key component to marketing.
