Bluewire Top 10

We’re back!

It’s been another BIG week of content, learning and potential next actions.

Here are my big takeaways from the top 10 this week:

  • Twitter can be a bit of a time sucker if you don’t measure what matters
  • Creating viral content isn’t all about luck, it’s a process
  • Getting exposure on Facebook is a little different than it used to be, but still worthwhile
  • We can all thank software engineers for the content revolution

Remember to connect with the authors, share the content and take action.

Here we go then, this week’s Bluewire Top 10.

10. MailChimp vs. Constant Contact: Which One Is The Best for You?

Author: Ariel Rule (Connect with Ariel on Twitter @Freelance4More)

Punchline: There are lots of email service providers out there, and sometimes it’s really hard to figure out which one is best for you and your business. MailChimp and Constant Contact are two providers that are great when you are just starting out. Ariel Rule gives an honest, well constructed and actionable comparison of them both. Very helpful.

8. The Unstoppable Rise of the Digital Content Creator

7. 4 Ways to Build Content Marketing Authority with SlideShare

Lee Odden HeadshotTop Rank Online Marketing Blog

Punchline: SlideShare is a largely untapped platform for many content marketers. But if you’ve thought about giving it a whirl, this article from Lee Odden is a must read. He shows us what type of content works best on the platform and backs it up with some cool examples.

6. The Missed Opportunity: How Brands Are Missing Out on Facebook

Jon Loomer headshotJonLoomer.com

Author: Jon Loomer (Connect with Jon on Twitter @jonloomer)

Punchline: Jon is a Facebook expert… so it’s well worth listening to what he has to say in this article. He breaks down the 4 big mistakes brands are making on Facebook, and offers a step-by-step alternative for what we all should be doing instead. Genius.

Author: Seth Godin (Connect with Seth on Twitter @ThisIsSethsBlog)

Punchline: It was only a matter of time until Seth made it onto the Bluewire Top 10. His brain dumps are a staple for my morning ritual. Somehow he packs the most profound thoughts and ideas into a few hundred words and says it in a way that helps us all understand it better. This one is about embracing the unknown and still working towards your desired outcome even though you can’t guarantee it.
