I read every day about SEO, PPC, SEM, conversion rate optimization, content marketing, Google Local, SPYW, Webmasters Tools and social media. I spent the year learning about psychology and professional writing, influence and sales tactics. I save everything I find useful either in our /social-media stream, Evernote, bookmarks, or sharing on Inbound.org Remember how I said I read a LOT? I do.
So I read a lot on a variety of topics. What’s in it for you? How about a comprehensive list of the top “list posts” of my reading year. I scoured my bookmarks, searched my Evernotes, plundered Inbound. Here are (over) 46 of the best, most useful, entertaining, functional, tool-laden list posts you could ever want.
If you want to see these posts as I read them and share them, follow us on Twitter.
