My friend Ken Edwards is a busy member of the community, an SMB 150 award winner, and an Autotask user. Ken owns Maverick Mesa Computers in Glendale, AZ.
He also owns a few other small businesses unrelated to I.T. service delivery. Here he gives us some ideas about how to set up “automated” businesses that sell products without him having to deliver services or manage the sales of a product. His big key to success is finding little niche products that fill an existing need.
Ken is also a speaker at the SMB Online Conference next week. His topic is: Topic: Where Facebook Meets Business.
Ken Edwards has been servicing the computer networking needs for
small businesses for over 25 years. Beginning as an aviation tech
in the Marine Corp, he progressed through servicing restaurant
systems to handling the computer needs of general small business.
He really cut his teeth in networking in the mid-90s as a Novell
CNE, and then became a Microsoft Networking expert. Recently
holding the Microsoft Small Business Specialist designation, he
continues to serve small businesses as head of Maverick Mesa
Computer Specialties Inc, an Arizona local IT firm.
On behalf of his own business, he recognized the need to develop an
internet marketing expertise. Currently, he advises other
businesses on using the internet as a promotion vehicle, handing
out knowledge gathered during his intense 3 years of internet
marketing experimentation.
