Great article Sarah, i truly enjoyed and looking forward for that in 2016. I’m new in business since your articles are so helpful to me. keep posting.
Awesome list and links - thanks for sharing. I am still going through it but i really liked the idea of the ‘swipe file’. I too like to collect quotes and stuff, but in a very haphazard fashion but now this is my resolution for 2016 🙂
HI Sarah,
I loved going through your links and really got it this time - how your web time wasters posts are so fun. I’d always skipped over them because I didn’t have the TIME but on reading one of your links today it made total sense. And I started reading them - and found your video of Pharrell’s Freedom video and have watched it 8 or 9 times already and plan to watch it some more.
All that said to tell you that I just wrote my first links round up and it was more fun than I could have imagined. Your posts feature prominently and I’ve mentioned you as the source for the idea (I don’t have the physical energy to do Twitter for @mentions yet but look forward to it someday!). All those posts and news articles and facebook links that I’ve been hoarding and loving and waiting to write about some day in the distant future. Now all in one post that took the least time of any I’ve ever written.
Question #1: how do you do SEO, if any, on these links roundups, which also all carry the same post title?
Question #2: I’m looking to update my subscription plug in / function and wonder waht you are using and if you like it / have you had any problems? (I’ve been looking into MailPoet and MailChimp but keep reading reviews about problems)
thanks and I so love your writing!
Hi Veronique!
In answer to your questions:
1. I don’t do any SEO on link round ups.
2. I use Opt-in Monster for my popup and Mailchimp for my newsletter and I’ve been happy with both!
Thanks Sarah!
What a treat to not deal with SEO - just one more perk to these posts 🙂
