Subscribe to Hot Topics & Controversy Are you doing Chase/Living Social Mission: Small Business? Shout out here!

Are you participating in Chase & Living Social's, Mission: Small Business contest? They're awarding small businesses with a $250K grant. But each small business needs 250 votes to qualify.

www.MissionSmallBusiness.com

There is still time to create an application for yourself. You'll need 250 votes by Friday to qualify.

If you're doing it tell us here so we can vote for you. We need your business name and city/state in order to find you in the directory. Voters must login with their Facebook account.

Biznik's a small business too! Did you know that? I'll use the grant to hire another Community Manager and a development team for MyFive -- that referral-passing and tracking tool some of you have heard us talk about it. It's going to be cool, and benefit YOU, so please vote for Biznik too. :)

Login with Facebook, enter Biznik (along with your other favorite small businesses) in the search field, and cast your vote BEFORE FRIDAY 6/29.

    I don't think I would qualify to win. It looks cool though. If you think you have a chance enter.

    I think most Biznik members would qualify. Here are a couple of the highlights from the rules page:

    • be a for-profit only organization organized and resident in the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia;

    • have been actively engaged in its current business activity for at least two (2) consecutive years immediately preceding the start of the Program;

    • be owned by natural persons who are legal residents of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia, and who are at least eighteen (18) years old (or as required by the laws in your state of residence)(Note: A sole-proprietor shall be deemed a business and not a consumer for purposes of the Program);

    • have a valid employer identification number or taxpayer identification number; employ less than one hundred (100) employees for the duration of the Program;

    • not be owned by an employee of Sponsors or a company wholly owned by a Sponsor or Sponsor's parent company (an "affiliate"); and produce evidence of the foregoing upon request.

    Hi Lara I am not much active member on Biznik but recently started to concentrate more on my social profile growth. I am research analyst doing my study on Indian stock market. I have two established LinkedIn Groups with my leading group is now having member strength of 775+ while my professional profile on LinkedIn has received good skill endorsement. With 32 skills and 1 work endorsement my profile is doing well there. But that just not helping to my career boost. With my recent post on 25-Apr-2013 about Nifty index premarket performance prediction which turned out exceedingly well I just not find it pushing my website's performance in terms of traffic flow. I am trying to make an impact here let's see what support I will be getting
