San Antonio, TX - San Antonio-based business development firm, Completely Virtual Group, announced the launch of its new online business incubator. Enrollment has begun for the OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™
(http://www.OperateItRightIncubator.com) which officially launches on Thursday, April 12th. The online business incubator will give emerging solopreneurs and independent professionals step-by-step guidance and a wealth of small business resources.
The OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™ is a progressive, 12-month program that systematically guides entrepreneurs through the OperateItRight Small Business System™. The OperateItRight programs were developed by Beryl W. Powell, a successful entrepreneur that coaches solo professionals in business operations and marketing. Powell is President of Completely Virtual Group (http://www.CompletelyVirtualGroup.com) and the incubator’s Business Operations Advisor & Trainer.
“I’ve worked with many entrepreneurs who are struggling to make their businesses successful. Much of their time and energy is wasted on ‘reinventing the wheel’ when it comes to the basics,” Powell says. “I designed the OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™ to help solopreneurs create a business that will support the lifestyle that they envisioned for themselves when they decided to start their business. The incubator eliminates much of the uncertainty that new business owners feel by providing step-by-step instructions, practical business guidance, small business tools and resources, and feedback from fellow entrepreneurs.”
OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™ members participate in interactive, web-based training sessions, execution calls where they receive detailed instructions on applying specific business strategies, Q&A calls, and quarterly focus sessions. Incubator members also get access to the online OperateItRight Business Center which includes digital recordings of past training sessions, worksheets, business templates, audio and video tutorials, a forum for networking with other business owners, and much more.
Solopreneurs and independent professionals can join the OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™ by visiting http://www.OperateItRightIncubator.com. Membership in the incubator is just $65 per month. A 30-day trial membership is available to new members for $25.
The OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™ expands upon the principles of the OperateItRight Small Business System™ created by Beryl W. Powell, President of the Completely Virtual Group. The OperateItRight Small Business Incubator™ is a step-by-step process that guides solopreneurs through building, operating and promoting a business that will sustain the lifestyle that they’ve dreamed of without consuming their lives.

You will be able to block those annoying telemarketers or any one else you just don’t want to talk to. It allows you to place notes with your messages to help you remember what the call is all about.

How to Set Up a MyBlogLog Account

Filed under 4. Implement the Plan
MyBlogLog is a Yahoo owned membership site that actually tracks who visits your site, where they go, and what they like. This kind of information is invaluable because it enables you to create more of the content your visitors prefer. Here’s how to get started.
Step 1. Visit www.mybloglog.com and register for an account. If you already have a Yahoo ID then you can log in using your Yahoo account information.
Step 2. Logon and you will be taken to a Create Your Profile page where you will be asked to create your profile URL. If you’re tying this to a business, you can use something related to your business name. Here is what MyBlogLog suggests you use to create your profile URL
“You can add any word or word combination (no spaces) that is relevant to your blog. If you blog about celebrities, you might add celebritynews or celebphotos to this box. If an error that the url is taken occurs, that means another MyBlogLog member already has his MyBlogLog community at that url. Try another keyword phrase here.”
Step 3. Now you can add edit and add to your profile including adding your website, blog, tags, pictures, an about me page, you can also add Twitter to your profile to update members with messages, changes etc…
Step 4. Add your website or blog to your profile. Once you’ve successfully added your site they will generate a script for you to get started. You will add the code to your blog template in between the OPEN body (<body>) tag and the CLOSE body (</body>) tag and republish. Tracking will begin immediately after the code has been added to your blog. The code will look like this:
<script type=’text/JavaScript’ src=’http://track3.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=2007122617322967′></script>
Step 5. MyBlogLog does more than track who visits your blog or website and what they like and what they read, it enables you to build a community. You can link up with other members, share recommendations and network.
That’s it. Once your profile is up and your website or blog is linked, then you’re ready to get started using MyBlogLog and tracking the valuable information to build your business.
