How to grow your business by promoting someone else

Ever wonder how great small businesses become great?

They get talked about, shared and discussed by everyone. But, they talk about everyone else instead of themselves.

For example, I have talked about my experience with Portola Coffee, which in turn, led others to find them and test them out. They didn’t pay me. They didn’t ask me to write about them. I did it because I loved their service, their company ideals and now, their product.

I also do it because I know what it is like to be a small business, and know how hard it is to get noticed without a big budget. If money were no object, we could all advertise like big business. But money is an object, and one that small businesses can’t throw around lightly. So, I like to do my part to help small businesses grow – without having to spend their precious resources.

How do I do that?

Which small business do you swear by? If you had to recommend one business to my readers, which would it be and why?
