MOLI Introduces the Small Business Center: Next-Generation Social Networking
Site to Drive Significant Growth Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
Business Education Leader E-Myth and Yedda (an AOL Company), a Leading
Questions & Answers Platform, Partner with MOLI to Deliver Valuable Resources
for Small Businesses

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- MOLI.com, a next-generation
social media/social commerce site where members control their privacy,
announced today the launch of its MOLI Small Business Center, the first
collaboration-based content channel designed as a destination for small
business owners to tap into the knowledge of their peers and field experts in
a social networking setting. MOLI is a free, online social community where
small business owners and individuals over the age of 18 can create and manage
multiple profiles from a single account to control their privacy and separate
their social, business and family relationships.
"E-Myth's strategic partnership with MOLI provides a comprehensive set of
educational programs, consulting services and resources for small business
owners who want to take their businesses to the next level," said Susan Weber,
Executive VP of E-Myth Worldwide. "The MOLI Small Business Center is an all-
inclusive site that enables members to save valuable time - allowing them to
focus on building their business and their brand while gaining work life
balance."
"We're excited to partner with MOLI," said Roy Oron, VP of Business
Development with AOL-Yedda (http://yedda.com/partners). "Integrating Yedda's
community driven questions and answers service with the Small Business Center
will help MOLI users share knowledge and find answers to their questions. The
service will also improve user engagement on MOLI and extend MOLI's reach to a
new audience across the Yedda network of knowledge communities which includes
AOL sites and over 100 Yedda partners."
Small business owners, especially those with less than 10 employees, need
to maximize every minute of their time and each dollar they invest into their
companies. According to the findings of a 2008 survey by the Kauffman
Foundation of Kansas City, Mo., nearly 60 percent of new businesses had no
employees in their first year. Just under three-quarters of businesses had one
employee or less, while about one-quarter of businesses had two or more
employees.
"All too often, entrepreneurs find that their businesses take incredible
time and resources- with no central site to go to for much needed resources
and support," said Judy Balint, MOLI president and COO. "Business owners can't
afford to spend unproductive time searching aimlessly around the Web looking
for the resources they need to better manage their businesses and improve the
quality of their lives. With the MOLI Small Business Center, members have the
most comprehensive set of resources and tools available to grow their
businesses for long-term success."
The MOLI Small Business Center - Where Entrepreneurs Work, Network and
Play Enterprise 2.0 is a white-hot market opportunity slated to become a $4.6
billion industry by 2013, and social networking tools will take the lion's
share, according to a report by Forrester Research. In addition, small
business adoption of social networking technology is expected to grow between
20 and 33 percent in 2008.
The Center is a comprehensive multimedia interactive destination where
members can network, engage in discussions, and access expert advice,
resources, tools and tips on how to take their businesses to the next level.
An important component of the Center will be interactive forums, where members
can engage with a seasoned group of entrepreneurs and business experts. The
Center will include forums, daily news feeds, videos, and provides small
business owners access to MOLI's easy-to-use site-development and e-commerce
tools to build a storefront for products and services in less than 30 minutes,
or instantly add value to an existing site with rich, collaborative and
interactive capabilities.
The resources offered in the MOLI Small Business Center are actively
managed and constantly updated to provide small business owners with the most
recent information and tools that they need to gain a competitive edge. All
resources and tools offer seamless community interaction for the small
business community and include:
-- Articles, videos and podcasts
-- Resources
-- Tools and services
-- eLearning courses
-- How-to-guides
-- Time savers
-- Recommended websites
-- Ask the Expert forums with advice from retired entrepreneurs
-- Community forums for entrepreneurial networking

Security From-the-Ground-Up
MOLI members control their privacy by managing multiple profiles in one
account. They can segment their social, business and family relationships with
three levels of permission - public, private and hidden - and determine who
can and cannot access the information they include in each profile. In fact,
MOLI's management team-who developed the online trading industry-has built
security into the site from the ground up. Small business owners can go to
www.moli.com to become members and learn more about the Small Business Center.
