Triple Instalment: Weekly Roundup (90+ Resources) – 3rd Feb 2013
This week the Blogging Wizard weekly roundup is going to be a little bit different, usually as the title suggests I do these posts on a weekly basis, but due to being ill for the past week or so and a few other things going on you’re going to get a triple installment this week to make up for it – this means 3 times more resources so there’s plenty of information for you to soak up.
These resources include Blogging, Marketing, SEO, Social Media and WordPress so if you’re interested in any (or all) of these then read on!
Enjoy & don’t forget to share this post so that your friends and followers can benefit from the resources below.
Note: I’m going to be doing something else a bit different this week, I’m going to leave off the commentary and deliver this as a straight up list. What I want to determine is what you prefer, do you prefer how I usually do things with commentary next to each link or would you prefer I leave them off so you can just pile into the list and start reading?
Let me know in the comments, I’m always happy to have feedback!

Blogging Wizard Posts
Have you read all of my posts this week? If not here’s a quick recap (I’d love it if you could check them out):
- How to Launch or Re-Launch a Blog and Make It a Success (Bloggingwizard.com) – This is one of the longest posts I’ve written (maybe the longest), I had to round it off at about 4,000 words. Have a read and let me know what you think.
- How to Use Multivariate Testing to Build the Ultimate Opt-in Form (Problogger.net) – My first ever post on Problogger and it’s well worth a read if you want to improve conversions. The method I explain can be used on anything really, it doesn’t specifically have to be opt-in forms, it could be sales pages, squeeze pages or whatever you prefer.
Over to you
How was January for you? Any learning experiences that you’d like to share? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.
