Becky McCray - Publisher - Small Biz Survival

I interviewed Becky McCray through Twitter. She is the Publisher of Small Biz Survival, an online publication / community which was created to help small business owners. Her Bio on Twitter states the following:

"Small town entrepreneur. That includes an odd mix of liquor store owner, grant and project consultant, and cattle rancher. "

She has nearly 4,000 followers on twitter and has enjoyed much success, especially in marketing her online publication. Becky was kind enough to answer a few questions for me as to how she uses Twitter as a marketing tool. Please read from the bottom up!
