I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but the MerchantCircle members ROCK!
Seriously. We LOVE our merchants. And leading the pack of awesome business owners are our fabulous Community Leaders. You may have noticed them around the site- helping merchants in the forums, welcoming people in Talk-To-Me's, answering questions in MerchantCircle Answers... and of course, raving about the goodies from Cookie Central! :)
But they took it one step further...Michele G is more than just an incredible cookie -maker! She got the ball rolling on a Community Leader led blogging contest. That month's topic was The Small Business Jobs Act. A tough topic for some, but winner and Community Leader Steve P of SEO Web Designs was not shy about sharing his thoughts.
Last month's topic was all about what March meant to your business? The Staging Fashionista showed off her blogging styles with THIS winning entry:
"We are busy and we are growing thanks to MerchantCircle (MC) and many of the merchants that we have connected with here on MC.  We have gotten several leads, referrals and business partners through MC that have made our business the success it is today and for that we are thankful.  It just takes connecting and actually engaging in a conversation or a chat that can lead to bigger and better things for you and your business.  I'm grateful and look forward to a very prosperous March and the rest of 2011! "
