Weekly Roundup: Begin Anywhere
I’m a little late in posting today’s weekly roundup, because I just got back from an almost-2-mile walk with two of our dogs (and wondering whether handling a combined 115 lbs at the end of two leashes improves the quality of the walk…?).
So when I started combing through my Reader for good stuff to share with you, the very first post I read was perfect, and I borrowed its title for this post’s title as well.
1. Begin anywhere, by Valeria Maltoni.
Why: I’m a huge fan of Valeria’s and she is absolutely right. When you start something – anything, whether it’s a wellness program, or work with a new client, you have to begin somewhere. Anywhere.
2. 41 steps to significantly improve a blog in less than a month, by Brankica Underwood.
Weekly Roundup: From eBay to Heresy
Today is July 31. You know what that means, right?
We are more than halfway through 2011. Where did it go? How much progress have you made towards your annual goals? Or are you already looking ahead?
While you start thinking about that, here are some posts that made me think, laugh and happy. And they run the gamut from web changes to sound bite addiction to, yes, social media “heresy.”
1. 5 conversion-making website changes you can make right now, by Shakirah Dawud.
Why: Shakirah is one of the best writers I’ve come across in a long time (which is why I love that she’s part of the WUL blogging team). Her take on a recent webinar is great reading and easy to understand.
2. Speechwriting and the perils of the sound bite addiction, by Jill Foster.
Weekly Roundup: Where Have I Been?!
I left DC on Monday to conduct a workshop for IABC/Houston. After getting back, catching up on work and then my Reader, I found there was a whole lotta stuff I’d been missing out on.
Where have I been?!
If you find yourself in the same predicament, have a read.
1. The hitchhiker’s guide to tracking website engagement, by Petri Darby for Convince & Convert.
