What people say, what people do,
There're at least 4 main benefits.
Where to Get Backlinks to Your Site – Part 6 – Social News Sites
(Note. This post contains a list of popular social news sites. In some scenarios, social news sites are great to get backlinks to your blog or website.)
In the previous part we were discussing some popular social bookmarking sites. If I were to choose just a single biggest benefit of social bookmarking I would have to say that it’s the sole result of getting a link and all the SEO benefits that follow.
Social news sites, however, even though similar in nature, provide a completely different main benefit.
From a technical standpoint, you use social news sites very similarly to social bookmarking sites. You just choose a site, register, submit a link along with a short description, and you’re done.
But the main benefit isn’t the link itself. It’s the traffic that follows. That is, if your content has a viral enough nature.
Two leaders
Before I tell you anything else let me just show you the two leaders of this market, so you can understand what exactly a social news site is.
Creating a Website People Will Actually Use the Way You Want Them To
Creating a website people will actually use the way you want them to is quite possibly the most important goal of every online business designer. Or at least it should be.
Essentially, the problem is that just because you’ve got yourself an online store, for example, doesn’t mean that it will automatically do a good job at selling. Or that your new blog will do a good job at showcasing your articles.
The world of web design is quite an extensive one, and I’m not here to teach you all ins and outs of it (not that I even know them). What I want to do, though, is show you the most basic minimum you need to be aware of when building your own online business and the website that is meant to run it.
9 Tools and Software for Small Business – a Must-have Package for Every Online Entrepreneur
Strategies, strategies, you have to have those to know where you’re going with your work and actually accomplish something meaningful. But you also have to have another element of the puzzle, one that’s completely different…
You see the headline of this post so you know what it is – tools and software for small business … no matter if your online business is actually small or not, there’s nothing like a big, nice set of tools, presumably free, or at least so brilliant that you don’t mind paying.
The following list consists of various tools I use every day (i.e. very often). All of them have been tested by me, so I’m not advising you to use anything uncertain. I hope you’ll enjoy the list.

Add a Little Life to Your Content – Use Images
Tags: blog advice, blog tips, images for blog posts
The fact that I’m using images a lot on this blog is not accidental. It’s also not because I have some particular feelings towards photography and its different forms. Well okay, I do like to take a nice picture every now and then, but that’s not the point here.
The main reason why I’m using images along with my posts is because they add additional impact to them, making the posts more memorable and distinctive.
I’m sorry to use the cliché, but a picture is really worth a thousand words. Especially if it’s presented next to a post of 1000 words or more…
Sexiest WordPress Plugins: Online Backup for WordPress
Tags: Online Backup, Online Backup for WordPress, WordPress, WordPress plugin
Today it’s time for another edition of this small series of mine. I know that WordPress plugins are a topic widely discussed around the internet, and that there are myriads of posts on “top 10 plugins for this” and “top 10 themes for that.”
However, this series is not about showing you the next fancy thing … it’s about showing you something truly worth installing. The fact is, you can’t install every plugin out there, and hope that your blog will still be working just fine. Unfortunately, plugins slow things down. The more you have the slower your site gets. That’s why I always advise to use ONLY the essential ones.
What does it all have to do with online business? – Asks you. Well, if your site is running on WordPress, like I’ve been advising since forever, then this series is surely something you should keep an eye on. The plugins I’m presenting might come handy to all kinds of blogs, but they are especially handy to online business designers.
