It has been an interesting first year for the newly launched Dynamic Business Online. Since relaunching in January, we have worked hard to bring you a website that is both informative and engaging.
We have continued to grow each and every day, from embracing social media, to profiling the many inspiring entrepreneurs that helped to shape the small business landscape in 2009.
We gave you unbridled access to our many expert industry bloggers (and let me tell you, some interesting debates were generated as a result) and kept you updated on the latest small business news.
We look forward to bringing you an even bigger and better site in 2010 (feedback is always welcome and very much appreciated – email feedback@backend.dynamicbsuiness.com)
To celebrate the year that was, we thought we would share with you the most popular articles/blogs/hot tips of 2009. Below are the top 10 articles that interested you, inspired you and educated you.
We hope you have a Merry Christmas and a killer New Year!
