Starting August 1, 2000, Garrett Wasny -- webmaster of How to Conquer the World .com -- began writing an E-Commerce and Small Business column for Knight-Ridder Tribune Information (KRT) in Washington, D.C. The bi-weekly column provides vendor-neutral advice and jargon-free strategies to small businesspeople everywhere on how to use the web to start and grow a business online with little or no money. The column is part of KRT's newswire service package to newspapers throughout North America.
To date, the column has been picked up by dozens of newspapers and e-zines across the U.S. and Canada. These include the Akron Beacon Journal, Cincinnati Enquirer, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Northern New Jersey Record, Pink Sheets, Providence Sunday Journal, Rockland Journal News, San Francisco Examiner, and Winnipeg Free Press (from my home town). If you came to this webpage as a result of reading my column, please e-mail me, Garrett Wasny, and tell me where you're from, and which publication you saw the article.

January 1, 2001: 71,052 sites match your inquiry: How to find a needle of data in the Internet haystack (To my pleasant surprise, I've received an.avalanche of e-mail on this column. I thought these searching tips were common knowledge, but I guess not).
Coming soon are my November and December columns. I get flack from some of you for not posting them ASAP. While I appreciate your interest, I'm only one guy here. Between earning my daily bread, and cranking out this column on the side, I don't have as much time as I'd like to keep this traveling e-freak show as current as it should be. Thanks for your patience.
