ChiliFries Aims to Turn American Small Businesses Into Global Internet Juggernauts

    AUSTIN, TX, June 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- If you're a small business owner, it's hard enough being your own CEO, CFO and CTO, without having to take on the role of Internet Marketing Manager too. But new web resource ChiliFries, launching June 1st, makes it easy for busy business owners to learn how to promote their company online.

ChiliFries is the latest innovation from the team behind BigCommerce - the fastest growing ecommerce platform in the world. This free, user-friendly content website was designed to be the ultimate "how-to" resource for small businesses that want to learn about Internet marketing and ecommerce. ChiliFries offers easy-to-understand articles, courses and content on e-commerce, social media marketing, search engine optimization, website conversion, and other affordable online marketing tactics entrepreneurs can use to help increase revenues and grow their business.

"It's hard for small business owners to get the information they need to understand ecommerce, social media and effective web marketing," said Stacey Lee, senior editor of ChiliFries. "Drawing on a combined 20+ years of experience building successful online businesses, we created ChiliFries to be a complete resource people can come back to every day to continue learning and get the confidence they need to eventually take their business online, whether launching an online store, newsletter, website or blog."

ChilFries covers topics like how to sell online, social media marketing on Facebook, how to grow your fanbase on Twitter, and everything else companies need to add a successful online component to their business. Unlike other sites that serve up an overload of hard to follow information and opinion, ChiliFries is more education based, delivering a how-to approach that even the most technologically unsavvy can understand and implement. Also, the site specifically targets small businesses, aiming to be an all-encompassing internet marketing and e-commerce community. To that end, the site will feature a daily summary of news items that are of interest to the small business world and soon a forum for sharing ideas and strategies.

"Many business owners know they need to be selling online because there is so much money and opportunity there for them, but they don't know where to start," said Jeffrey Gray, director of online marketing for BigCommerce. "We know what works and what doesn't work because we've been there. Instead of trying to figure it out on their own, others can read the how-to articles on ChiliFries and quickly achieve their desired results, skipping much of the trial and error."

Small business owners can access ChiliFries' free content directly on its website, via e-mail digests, and through postings on Twitter and Facebook. In upcoming months, the site will be launching e-mail courses, webinars and podcasts. Users that sign up now will get pre-release notification as curriculum becomes available, ensuring they are first to receive it.
