Yahoo Small Business Services Review
What are Yahoo small business services you can get online from Yahoo ?
Well an overview of what is offered is as follows :
- Yahoo small buisness web hosting
- Yahoo small business domains
- Yahoo small business email
- Yahoo small business accounts
- Yahoo small business merchant accounts
So basically everything you need for your online venture is available at Yahoo. Currently domains are $9.95 per year which is a reasonable deal although we believe that Godaddy is still slightly cheaper.
Going the Yahoo route is probably quite a good choice because of the brand name and the range of service offered. Generally Yahoo will try and push most small business owners down their pay per click route and use Yahoo search marketing services. These are good and a little cheaper that google. Additionally if you sign up at the moment you’ll get a $50 credit. The credits do change as we have seen them as high as $100 in free advertising.
In addition to helping you get your business started on the internet the Yahoo small business service also takes you through each element in helping you build your business; from starting up, business planning and financing to taking on staff, case studies and franchising. These services are in the “information” part of the site.
Yahoo small business is contributed to by various other companies that have a vested interest in getting their message across in the Yahoo portal. One company that contributes many articles is startupnation. In fact in may just be worth going to SUN first because most of the articles and commentary are there in any case. SUN also have an excellent forum to ask your questions and get responses.
However, Yahoo IS a portal and their aim is to attempt to get the best information from the most trusted sources together into one place to make their site sticky and “bookmarkable” so you’ll come back time and again and recommend to others.
The whole service is a good read so check it out at http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/
