Tips, secrets of two successful users explained for popular tool to small business owners

BEL AIR, Md. - Marylandian -- Baltimore, MD, and Dover, DE – Alignable, a growing business networking platform, has been operating for nearly 10 years and, oddly, a book explaining best practices and strategies for boosting small business through it has not been written.

"After struggling to use Alignable at first, and talking to countless other people who either struggled or struggled and gave up, I thought it was time to write a book for small business owners," said Bob Graham, author of Alignable Tips, Tricks and Secrets for Small Business Success. "I only wish this book had been available when I first started using Alignable."

While Alignable launched in 2014, its growth into one of several go-to business networking platforms for small business owners, rivaling and perhaps exceeding the power of LinkedIn, began in 2021, after the arrival of Covid 19.

In April 2023, Alignable said it has 8 million subscribers in 35,000 communities (networks of people with similar interests on its platform) all over the world.

Alignable Tips, Tricks and Secrets for Small Business Success, the ebook released in October 2023, is produced by Bee Savvy, which provides businesses with a software toolkit to improve sales and marketing efforts.

Bee Savvy's chief executive, Duarne Bernhagen and Graham met over Alignable, shared their concerns about the platform and offered each other tips. Within hours of that first meeting, they set out to create the first book of its kind.

Both of them are veteran networkers, who have used LinkedIn and Alignable extensively for years to build their businesses. Graham also is cofounder of the Grow Your Small Business group on Alignable, which has gathered more than 1,200 small business owners since April 2023.

The Alignable ebook provides detailed instructions for setting up a business profile on the platform, along with how to leverage connections and recommendations, and other tips and tricks for finding potential clients. Alignable is primarily built to serve business-to-business companies.

While Graham wrote the book, Bernhagen provided a tough technical review of all content to ensure its accuracy.

A former journalist and college professor, Graham is CEO of the small business coaching company, Bigger Pie Strategies. He has written several other books. He is author of The Renegade Way: How Entrepreneurs, Business Owners & Leaders Carve Their Own Unique Pathway to Success (Mason-West Publishing House, 2021) and coauthor, with Dr. Tobin Porterfield, of The 55 Soft Skills That Guide Employee and Organizational Success (Mason-West Publishing House, 2018).

Graham is preparing to write a second book on Alignable focusing on more advanced strategies for using the platform to build a small business.
