Episode 10 – with guest Becky McCray

This week we welcome guest Becky McCray, small town liquor store owner and the force behind Small Biz Survival. Becky talks about how social networking helps her reach out to and help other small business owners from her (very!) small town in Oklahoma. Becky offers great hints for small businesses that want to get started in social media.
