President Obama set an ambitious, yet attainable goal of doubling US exports by 2015, and small businesses are leading the way. Often, the only tools a business needs to sell their goods and services overseas are a website and a broadband connection.

At the SBA, we are working to increase the number of small businesses that export, and the number of countries they ship to. Our approach is simple: Identify. Prepare. Connect. Support. We start by identifying small businesses that are interested in exporting. We then work to prepare these companies for the process by connecting them with overseas markets, and supporting them with loans and counseling.

The SBA recently teamed up with Inc. Magazine and AT&T to produce a video series with tips and tricks to help businesses grow and create jobs through exporting:

Additional videos are posted at www.inc.com/exporting, and you can learn more about exporting on our website www.sba.gov/international.

I kind of wonder how small businesses in America can make money in exporting.
We do have higher labor costs here but I guess certain things people can't
replicate like brand name clothes or something.

Thanks a lot for the videos. I'm a foreign student, learning English still
and the subtitles were very helpful to me. I enjoyed this first-class content
which will help me for an assignment related to imports and exports of United
States. It would be great if the media player was compatible with mobile
devices like iPhones and iPads.

I wouldn't expect anything else from Mr. Obama, since he's an extremely
ambitious individual.

IMHO gov should motivate business to become international by means of
Internet, thus we'll be able to get money to US economy from the global one.
