It’s the weekend, and that means it’s the perfect time to catch up on your reading. Here’s the links that really stood out for me over the past week:
- What was the most important thing you learned about social media in 2010? by Janet Fouts. Lots of great insights from the big names in social media marketing (and somehow I got in there too).
- How To Make A Better First Impression With Your Blog Without An Expensive, Custom Blog Design is a brilliant breakdown of how certain design elements of your blog affect the first impression visitors get.
- The Power of the Extra Mile by Tim Brownson guest-writing on Jonathan Fields’ blog. So simple, so easy to do, you will kick yourself.
- Learn the Easiest, Quickest Way to Build a Profitable Business Blog is a free course by Christian Russell. Go get it. This isn’t an affiliate link, just pure awesome free content. Go. Get.
- What are you working on? This one will stop you dead in your tracks.
- 11 for 11 is a really cool interesting thing Mark & the gang are doing over at Thoughtwrestling.
- Freepik is a resource for free photos and art for your designs or your blog posts (via Make Use Of, a great site).
