As a resident of a small town, I really appreciate what Dave Wheelan has been able to do with the Chestertown Spy, an online newspaper for Chestertown, MD, population approximately 5,000. Helping a whole community stay in touch and stay informed deserves our applause, and it also deserved a Batchbook customer profile!
Tell us a little bit about The Chestertown Spy?
The Chestertown Spy is a hyper-local internet newspaper serving a small college town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We named the Spy in honor of the first physical newspaper printed in Chestertown, which started in 1793. It actually was a great little newspaper, that not only covered the news of the day, but did a fine job with the arts, poetry and even philosophy . We thought that was pretty cool and we loved the name, as does the town.

We love to hear about how our customers are using Batchbook. When Gustavo mentioned that Batchbook allows his small team to appear much bigger than they are, I wanted to hear more. Gustavo was kind enough to answer some questions about his business and how Batchbook helps it succeed.
Gustavo has a true passion for teaching and helping others succeed. This can be seen not only in how he helps his students directly, but also in how he has made his space available to other teachers who have their own businesses. What he has come up with is co-working with a twist; independent teachers sharing space to be able to provide more education opportunities for all! Read on to learn more.

Editors Note: Around here we love to talk about how smart our users are! What can I say, we’re admittedly a little biased. We love the concept behind CitiKitty and are smitten by the fact that Rebecca’s both an inventor and entrepreneur at the same time! We’d also like to congratulate CitiKitty on their upcoming episode on SharkTank this Friday! Go get ‘em!

CitiKitty teaches cats to use the toilet so cat owners never have to scoop kitty litter again. A simple solution to the dirty litter box!
BB: How Did You Get Started?
I toilet trained my own cat Samantha in 2004 when she was 11 years old. In 3 weeks she was using the toilet! Thrilled, I immediately started on creating CitiKitty so other cat owners could to the same.
BB: How Long Have You Been In Business And How Many Employees Do You Currently Have?

We’ve been big fans of Logan since his onboarding appt last year and we first learned about his company, yourlittlefilm. At BatchBlue, we’re the proud parents of 17 BatchBlue babies (BatchBabies!), so we love the family concept behind his business. Confession: we’ve spent way too much time watching the adorable introductory videos on his site 
Yesterday Logan was featured in the NY Times Small Business Section as a prime example of how to make a small business as productive as big business by using the right tools (including BatchBook). Congratulations Logan and thanks for providing such an awesome service for busy parents.
BB: Hello! Tell us a little bit about what your company does and what services you provide:
YourLittleFilm.com offers easy, affordable video production services for your Business and your Family. For Businesses, we create dynamic, viral content that helps market you and your business to customers . For Families, we help take all of those unwatched hours of raw home videos and turn them into little films that can be instantly shared with family and friends via email, Facebook, YouTube and beyond.
BB: How did you get started?
I got started after the birth of my first little girl, Chloe, two years ago. I was one of those parents drowning in hours of unwatched video. With nowhere to turn to help me edit them down affordably, I dusted off my UCLA Film degree and got cutting. I made these little films and shared them with our circle of family and friends. Soon friends (and then friends of those friends) started asking me for help to do the same. That’s when the lightbulb went off and I realized (a) I loved doing this more than my 9-5 job and (b) there was a wide open market out there that needed help. Then last year I saw the same need in the B2B/Business community and started helping entrepreneurs and small business owners produce viral video content to help market their products and services.
