It’s Round 2 of my guest posting for DR. WHAW! Let’s get to it, shall we?
- The Hidden Power of a Gift (Seth Godin) You’d have to be living on another planet to not know the name of Godin by now. There’s simply no better resource for short, mind-blowing thoughts about marketing and business than his blog. This post is no different.
- Is It Curtains for the App Store? (Bob Dennis, guest posting for Jay Baer) Developers are getting fed up with the iPhone App Store. Will the rise of HTML5 allow them to go around Apple, like Google has successfully done?
- 6 Truths of Building a Successful Online Community (Mack Collier, guest posting for Lauren Fernandez) Some very simple but worthwhile tips on managing a community. My personal favorite (because people tend to forget it): Fish where the fish are.
- Making Love to the Customer (Jackie Adkins) The title sure catches your eye, huh? Part appeal for better customer service, part actual case study of a situation involving our very own Rebecca Dension.
- 10 Ways to Show Your Community Love (David Alston & Teresa Basich) It’s not often you see two people collaborating on a post such as this, but David and Teresa pull it off nicely. My favorite tip of theirs: Admit your mistakes.
- Screw Inspiration. It’s For Saps. (Micah Baldwin) A blunt (and graphic) critique of the common practice of looking for inspiration anywhere but inside ourselves.
- Ways to Reduce the Bounce Rate on Your Website (Benzing Technologies) Let’s end on a practical note. Many of you reading this may not know what your bounce rate is, much less how to measure it or reduce it. This article has some practical tips to do just that.
So there you go. Lots of lovey-dovey community stuff today. It’s almost like Valentine’s Day is right around the corner…
