Are you interested in making local connections? The Web is changing how local businesses operate online and how we interact with local businesses, giving you more options than ever. A few of them include:

Working at a local business
Helping local businesses improve their online presence
Connecting local businesses to customers
Improving the customer loyalty card idea
Creating guides to local businesses
Hopping on board the daily deals trend

Jobs in a business concentrating on keeping it local include working with customers, marketing, advertising, and (in the case of a web-based business) software development and sales. You’ll need a bachelor’s degree for most of these positions and a love of all things local.
