I don’t know about you, but it seems every day there is a new tool that can be used in marketing your brand. Just today I read that Twitter is launching its own button.
Have you ever thought just how long it would take to search for each one and review them to see if they can be of benefit?
Luckily there is a great resource on Small Business Trends and the editor for the product reviews is TJ McCue of SalesRescueTeam.com The reviews cover a large range of products for small business and I can say that TJ has saved me a lot of time with his comprehensive and objective reports.
Here are a few of the reviews that you may find interesting:

Taking The Hassle Out of Reviewing Small Business Products…

I oftentimes feel overwhelmed with my business and blogging. Thanks for sharing this link. I feel like I can get a handle on these new tools now!
Hi Terez,
I know what you mean as there seems so many options around. The good thing is they are constantly reviewing products so it is always up to date.
Susan, I have thought about this very thing and then decided a while ago, it wasn’t worth my time. I follow a few people who selectively review new products although YOUR resource sounds like it will have everything in one place. Thanks!
Hi Patricia,
I have to and came to the same decision. Also it is done so well on Small Business Trends and as you mentioned it is all in one place. They also review products covering all aspects of running a small business.
Just this week I spoke with someone who suggested adding a resource page to my site. Information like this could form a resource page for some of us.

Hi Rob,
It could be a good idea for your site as it does save readers’ time. I do know however it does take quite a bit of effort to effectively review products.
Thanks for your comment Rob.
Thanks for gathering all of these links. It can be overwhelming. It seems there is always a new tool. I was glad to see the video editing tool. I will check that out. I don’t like my current editing program. I read a few reviews but did not come across that product.

Hi Julia,
That is what I like about the section, finding tools that I haven’t heard of but has been reviewed by someone who I trust. Hope the editing tool can be of use to you.
Wow! What a lot of resources here. Thanks. I tried to go through a few of them but I decided to bookmark this and come back when I have more time. If I rush, I may miss something valuable.

Hi Sherryl,
Good idea. I find with the reviews I just can’t read quickly like some articles.
I agree with the group here that it is highly overwhelming to sort this all out for yourself. Thank you for providing an easy list to scout!
