I created this group because the biggest issue that Black-owned businesses have is that they need more customers. The biggest issue that we as Black consumers have is that we don't know where most Black-owned businesses are or even that they exist. The Black Business Network solves all that. By getting Black-owned businesses together in one place, we are finally making that information available to our people on a mass scale. Remember WHERE you spend your money, makes ALL the difference in the world to a Black-owned business.

Tell every Black business owner you know about the Black Business Network. Encourage them to sign up as business members and promote their businesses here.

BUY from Black-owned businesses in the Black Business Network. Lots of Black-owned businesses have wonderful products and services for sale that you can purchase now with the click of a button. Start with SOMETHING. Decide now to buy your lotion or your soap or your haircare or skincare products from the Black-owned businesses in the Black Business Network. Spend $20 per month. In time, work it up to $50 or $100 or $200 per month. Just buy the things you normally buy from others, but instead purchase from Black-owned businesses in the Black Business Network.

Get all of your positive, Black friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers to sign up at www.meetup.com/BlackBusinessNetwork-Richmond-CA. It's free to sign up, and it only takes a minute. The best part is, once they sign up, they will find the most awesome online community of positive, Black, business-minded people that exists, with lots of fun activities to participate in.  In addition, I started a Business eDirectory!

Why a Business eDirectory?  Have you ever needed the service of a professional, but not sure who to call?  Connecting with people we trust is important to all of us.  Our new Business eDirectory is a powerful tool and a trustworthy resource that encourages our members to use and support each other for our business needs. 

Our MeetUp Group is made up of a community - where each member has an inherent trust and connection with one another.  And connecting with people we trust is important to all of us, especially when seeking assistance.  Please click on the above-icon and learn more about how YOU can expand your business and support other Black Business Owners.
