This is the first episode of our new monthly series, The State of Small Business Technology, September 2018 Edition. During the last week of each month, I’m dedicating a whole episode to news and happenings in small business technologies. This will lend heavily on the side of Web, Mobile and Social Media marketing content for Small Business, but I’ll also touch on other small business management technologies, such as IT and cybersecurity, as well economic development news and more, when appropriate.

Next week, I have a great conversation with Sharon Sobel of Picture This Video, a video production expert, to talk about video marketing and production for Small Business. This is going to be a great rundown for you to understand how to actually get the videos made that are so popular on the Web, Mobile and Social Media today. I can’t wait to hear back from you on this topic once you get a chance to listen to it.
