5 Must-Read Sources For eCommerce Business
Hey guys! So, I was sitting around today reading about war dogs (have you ever google stubby?) trying to think about something relevant to write about and it dawned on me that information is the most important thing that I can share. Where do I get my information? What information has legitimately helped our business grow from basement to seven-figures in just over a decade? There are some blogs and business sites that have made a huge impact on our success. Why not give them a nod and a “thank you,” by sharing them? Plus, everyone will love the information so much that I’m pretty sure that statues will be constructed in my honor. AmIRight? Sigh. One can dream.
Alas! Here is a list of 21 of the Sources That Literally Helped Us Grow From Zero To AWESOME.
Marketing Sherpa is an amazing source for case studies and facts on what works and what doesn’t. You can find everything from how to increase sales optimization, leads, and opt-ins.

How To Change The World is an excellent blog from a venture capitalists point of view. The content is inspirational but it’s also realistic. Great for small business owners!
Example:

As a venture capitalist, I’ve seen what happens when companies raise substantial capital. It’s not pretty—in fact, my theory is that too much money is worse than too little. Here’s why.”
Small business brief is a blog that basically sums up all of the great small business information and puts it into one place. It’s a great blog to sit down and read for an hour or so before bed.

Why You Should Throw Out Your Marketing Tactics And Tools
LinkedIn Today is a favorite of mine because the content is sorted and selected based on your interests. It’s a great way to get content tailored specifically to your needs, unless you’ve looked at something strange or have weird things on your profile. Then things can just get awkward.
Example:
Self-Confidence: Nature or Nurture by Ray Williams, “Is self-confidence something that you’re born with or is it taught and developed? It’s the classic nature vs. nurture question. While current wisdom has been for some time that it’s mostly nurture, there’s some surprising new research that indicates we may genetically predisposed to be self-confident.”
This guide is designed to describe all areas of SEO – from discovery of the terms and phrases (keywords) that generate traffic, to making a site search engine friendly, to building the links and marketing the unique value of the site/organization’s offerings. Don’t worry, if you are confused about this stuff, you are not alone.”
