1366i7F350162F3991270Guest blog post from Chris Cameron a technology journalist writing mainly for ReadWriteWeb - a blog about the Web and technology. 

 

Join me tomorrow at 2 p.m. EST as I host a free webinar presented by the Verizon Small Business Center.  I’ll show small business owners interested in getting a better understanding of the various options made available from Google for managing a business in the "cloud."

 

Over the course of the hour long webinar, you will not only just learn about Google's tools, but you will also gain some contextual understanding of how these tools can play an important role in the workflow and organization of their small businesses. And luckily for the attendees, I will not be the only person speaking for the entire hour. I will be joined by three guests that will provide their own unique perspective on Google Apps and other ways to extending the tools offered by Google.

 

Trada CEO and founder Niel Robertson will join the webinar to go over Google's AdSense and AdWords programs and how small businesses can take advantage of them. Trada is a Boulder startup that helps businesses of all sizes better manage pay-per-click ad campaigns by leveraging the power of crowdsourcing.

 

Also joining the webinar will be Expensify co-founder David Barrett. Expensify is a service that can integrate with Google Apps to help make the process of tracking expenses within small businesses quick, painless and seamless. Expensify is part of a larger collection of tools which live in the Google Apps Marketplace, and David will explain both how the marketplace works and how it can help small businesses.

 

And finally, the third guest is Caige Nichols, a serial entrepreneur and lead web developer at Zion & Zion, a Phoenix-based ad agency. Caige will provide the webinar attendees with context for using Google Apps with a startup - a process he has lots of experience with from his history of entrepreneurship.

 

Never heard of these tools? Then you should take a lot away from this webinar. Already have an understanding of them? Well there's something for everyone, I promise! So please register and spread the word and we hope to see you on the live free webinar tomorrow!  Click here to register and bring your questions.  If you can’t make it, catch the replay later this week.
