			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We interviewed Becky McCray earlier on this blog <a href="http://solutionsarepower.com/2008/helping-other-small-businesses-through-a-blog/">http://solutionsarepower.com/2008/helping-other-small-businesses-through-a-blog/</a> and at that time she told us about the forthcoming eBook that she was launching &#8211; <a href="http://www.smallbizsurvival.com/2008/05/small-business-ideas-for-small-towns.html" target="_blank">Small Business Ideas for small towns</a>. The Ebook is launched now and is available for download here. Here are Becky&#8217;s thoughts on how she came up with the idea.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;At <a href="http://www.smallbizsurvival.com" target="_blank">Small Biz Survival</a>, we focus on the needs of small town small business people. Whenever we come across an idea for a business that seems promising in a small town, we pass it along. Of course, that means the ideas were all scattered out across our blog.</p>
<p>Going by the number of people who arrived by searching on &#8220;<a href="http://www.smallbizsurvival.com/2008/05/small-business-ideas-for-small-towns.html" target="_blank">small town small business ideas</a>,&#8221; I decided to compile some of our best ones into an ebook. That&#8217;s how 20 Small Town Small Business Ideas came about.</p>
<p><a href="http://ads.networksolutions.com/landing?code=P99C425S1N0B142A1D38E0000V100" target="_blank">Network Solutions</a> agreed to sponsor the download, and so far over 500 people have downloaded a copy. Obviously, people are interested in new ideas for businesses!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Becky McCray</span> is a small town entrepreneur. She writes about small business and rural issues, based on her own success and failures. She is the co-owner of a small town <a href="http://www.allensretail.com/" target="blank"><span style="color: #336699;">retail liquor store</span></a> and small cattle ranch. She helps tourism related businesses from Oklahoma to Africa to maintain their web presence and helps rural nonprofits and governments with grant writing.</p>
