FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
StartupNation Honors Nations Top Home Businesses of 2009
BackYardChickens.com Wins Top Ten Honors in Business Competition in the Wackiest Category
Pleasant Hill, State 11/16/2009 BackYardChickens.com has been recognized by StartupNation (http://www.startupnation.com) as a Top Ten business in its 2009 Home Based 100 competition under the category of http://www.startupnation.com/PHP_ROOT/hb100-2009/winners-wackiest.html .
Many of the StartupNation Home-Based 100 submissions revealed that business owners are bucking the current economic downturn and finding business success in these tight times. Historically some of todays most well known businesses started in a downturn, including Microsoft and General Electric.
The 2009 ranking shows that the home-based business is more relevant than ever. The current recession has spurred a new wave of home based businesses as a response to loss of jobs, the need for supplemental income and the sheer passion for blazing your own trail and running your own show, said Rich Sloan, co-founder of StartupNation.com, one of the leading small business networking and advice websites. Home based businesses are the biggest block of all businesses in existence and we expect numbers to grow ever greater as extra bedrooms, kitchen tables, basements and garages become host to the innovative thinking and pursuit of success by millions of Americans.
The StartupNation Home-Based 100 highlights 10 top-ten lists making it not just your ordinary business ranking. From the wackiest, to the most innovative, to the savviest in social media this unique and diverse list highlights the home-based businesses that usually go unrecognized, but still play a vital role in the economy today. MSN publishes the ranking as well in an editorial collaboration with StartupNation. The ten categories for 2009 include:
Recession Busters
Savviest in Social Media
Most Innovative
Boomers Back in Business
Greenest
Yummiest
Wackiest
Highest Vote-Getters
Most Slacker-Friendly
Most Glamorous
BackYardChickens.com was selected from among thousands of contestants by a StartupNation judging panel, which issues the ranking results annually in the November.
