Small Biz Trends Small Business Influencer Awards: My Recommendations ~ Links for Easy Daily Voting
New from GrowMap on How to Grow YOUR Business or Blog
Each year, Small Business Trends hosts the Small Business Influencer Awards to recognize the Top Influencers in the Small Business Market.
981 approved nominees are listed for the 2012 SmallBizTrends Influencer Awards. These are the nominees I feel will most benefit my readers and small businesses based on my years of experience.
Here is how the awards voting works:
- Those nominated are judged 40% by voting where each person may vote once every 24 hours for as many nominees as they choose.
- To make it much easier for me to support those I collaborate with or admire, I create a post that provides links for easy voting.
- I encourage you to vote daily to support key people we know and those who have exceptional and recognized expertise in their specialties.
- If you are nominated, I recommend you DO vote for yourself as well, so I include GrowMap in the recommendations found below.
These are my 2012 picks as

Conspicuously absent are any nominations related to conversion optimization or landing page testing so I haven’t included any experts yet. I may add them here later.
There are hundreds of other nominees, so if you can make the time you may want to peruse the many pages of other nominees to see who else is there.
I included in my picks the very best experts – many of whom I
have been learning from online for going on eighteen years now.
I hope some appreciate the many hours that go into an effort such as this from paging through every page of nominations to adding all those links to make checking them out and voting daily easier for my readers.
Do please consider voting daily for those who give away
their time and expertise so that others may succeed.
