What’s caught your eye this week?
I found the third article very helpful from CoSchedule. I’ve always struggled with the amount of posts I should have on social media – specifically Twitter.
I realize that not everyone will see a tweet, which is why the chart they included is a great way to schedule what time works best for you.
It’s super-handy, isn’t it! I know CoSchedule spends a lot of time on this kind of research, so it’s always very interesting hearing what they have to say.
Oh, thank you for such useful links! Your news always topical and your post helps me to find something new, that I have never seen before. These tools are pretty good.
Very helpful content, thank you. Waiting for the new post from you!
Thanks Tonya! Glad you find it useful.
Hi Stacey,
Great list! The gratitude post rings true here ;) Why blog if you aren’t grateful to blog? Why not blog to have fun? Then all the trappings are icing on da cake, extra, sweetness you will always be grateful for. And when you’re blogging primarily for fun a neat thing happens: you’re grateful of course, to blog, and you let in profitable ideas and successful folks which help you earn those sweet blogging profits.
Thanks for sharing!
Ryan
Blog to have fun, amen!
Hey Stacey,
Reading rounds are always great. I have found some helpful articles here. People are struggling to find out the best schedule to post on social media. I guess the post from CoSchedule would be great.
And the Facebook metrics. I would love to read more about it.
Thanks for the list.

You’re welcome, Ravi :)
I must appreciate your work Stacey. This roundup is comparable with a bucket full of golden eggs. An enough collection to read one whole day. Informative as well.
Well this made me laugh!
From Letting Go Of Gratitude:

This really resonated with me today. Thanks for linking to this article.
