What do readers get when they subscribe to your RSS feed? A bouquet of beautiful flowers? Okay, that can’t be easily delivered digitally, but you can give them a gift. A freebie offer can encourage readers to subscribe by RSS, or you can use it as a nice unannounced gift for your readers. Here’s how [...]
The action step I took this weekend to improve my blog was to get rid of some of the share button clutter and give readers more options by installing the Wibiya toolbar. It’s the pink toolbar sitting down there at the bottom of your screen on any page of my website. See it? From that [...]
Got two cool websites to share with you today to help you track mentions of your website/business/brand/etc. on Facebook.
