The Importance of Sucking at a New Job for a Year Or Two | Ross McCammon
I can’t stress the importance of this! Even if the “new job” is your blog. You need to suck at it, and suck at it early so you can get better at it faster! Don’t be afraid of doing something other than perfect.

Why Instagram Captions are the New Blogging | Select All
Someone said to me the other day “Instagram has killed blogging”, and for the first time, I agreed. Not killed it entirely, but definitely helped shut down the camaraderie and closeness the blogging of yore used to encompass. Not bad, just different. And I’ve definitely seen people soar to great success with this method, yet don’t really have much traction on a traditional blog.

What has caught your eye this week?
Hey Stacey,
Blog is one of the best ways to drive traffic to a website whether it be a corporate website, directory, or online shop. By adding great content to our blog regularly, we will provide useful resources to visitors and publish more pages for search engines to index.
Good design is not as important as good content, but doing our best to make our site user friendly and aesthetically pleasing is a good idea. The easiest way to do this is to choose a well-designed theme.
While we’re getting our own site set up, we need to take advantage of what’s already happening on social media. I don’t mean just be there, I mean be strategic. We should start by picking the one site where our future readers are hanging out and build genuine relationships.
I have a healthy impatience. Most successful business people do. But that is not necessarily an ideal quality to have as a beginning blogger. Blogging success does not arrive at our doorstep we need to wrapped up in a pretty bow. We have to work hard and have a lot of patience to get success over way. Eventually, thanks for sharing your these informative thought with us.
With best regards,
Amar kumar
