Reading Roundup: What’s New in Blogging Lately

Hello again! How did you go with the last roundup? Change up your Instagram? Get a new plugin? I hope this week’s is just as useful.

How to Build a Small but Mighty Team for Your Blog and Business // Amy Porterfield

I love this guest post at Amy’s site – there does come a time when you need to expand, and for the mostly clueless (i.e. me) this was really useful to guide my decision.

Why Today is the Best Day to Start an Online Business // Jeff Bullas

I know it’s something that so many of you want to do – why not work from home with an online business? But I also know it’s something that so many of us put off for a hundred reasons. We’re not ready, someone else has already done it, next year when we’ve got more time, maybe… Jeff puts all that into perspective.

SEO Checklist: 74 Step Process for Mammoth Rankings // Money Journal

Very useful steps, very pretty infographic, and very handy printable PDF! All my favourites rolled into one.

With Reactions, Facebook Facebook Supercharges the Like Button with 6 Empathetic Emoji // TechCrunch

So the changes we talked about a couple of weeks ago look like they’re in the testing phase (Ireland and Spain will be the only ones who see the rollout) – instead of just liking, you’ll be able to show anger, surprise, laughter – much more of a variety than we currently have.

Conversion Rate Optimisation: Closing the Loop on Abandoned Baskets // LCN

Wow, this was so comprehensive. I pinned it for later this year when I’m going to be dabbling in selling products.

Banish the Guilt About Making Money // Michael Hyatt

I know this is a big deal for a lot of people who earn an income online – you can come up against tough resistance, and even your own insecurities. Michael says: “Today we’re talking about why you should never feel conflicted about doing it for the money,” and I love it. Great podcast.

How to Create and Promote a Blog Post “Perfectly” Every Time // Chris Ducker

Oh-so-handy visual guide – is there something you’re missing? It’s so good seeing it laid out like this.

How to Train Your Subscribers to Open Your Email Every Time You Send // Pat Flynn

Could you imagine?? How good would that be. Loooove that tip about the Amazon book content pages.

How to Optimize Landing Pages to Boost Social Media Conversions // Social Media Examiner

It’s not all email-driven! Catch the folk who come through from social.

Intelligent Social Medial Analytics for the New Age // The Next Web

I’ve got a lot of homework to do, I’d never heard of any of these…
