Ultimate Guide To Creating A Great News Page via @mkramer

64 Ways To Think About a News Homepage - TheLi.st @ Medium - Medium

This has to be the most comprehensive, well thought out post we've ever seen on creating a news page. They focus on "news homepage", but the lessons apply well to a page every website needs - News. 

News is becoming increasingly important. We are drowning in information, but your ability to filter, curate and share what is really important builds following, increases traffic and shares. News pages need to be constructed in particular ways to as the post points out.

Build in some Feedly, Twitter widgets or Buzz Sumo (or other ways to make the page ping automatically. Don't go 100% feeds since that opts out of the principal benefit - showing your ability to filter, curate and influence by what you choose.

Best curator at exposing his filter preferences and building substantial following I know is Brian Yanish at Marketing Hits (@Marketinghits). 

Create a great news page, have some of it fire with a robot and curate the rest and your following, traffic and return will grow.

Ultimate Guide To Measuring The Best Social Network For Internet Marketers - Google Plus [via @jeffsauer ]

Ultimate Guide To Measuring Most Disruptive Social Net
I'm a big fan of +Jeff Sauer's work. Jeff's work is creative, intelligent and comprehensive. I…

Great @FerreeMoney question on this G+ vs. Scoopit on this post.  

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

GooglePlus Rocks

The linked post explains why Google plus is the most valuable "social network" on the planet and recommends Jeff Sauer's Ultimate Guide To Measuring Google+. 

If you don't know Jeff's work get to know it. Jeff’s work is great and this guide is amazing. If you remain a #GooglePlus hater good and please come compete with me (lol). 

As I explained in the linked post I LOOK FOR the kind of loud, ignorant and way too over confident BS that was circulating about G+. Those naysayers mean there is a tool I must investigate and master. 

We lucky few Internet marketers must be empathic rebels, a difficult combination to master. We must understand trends others miss and buy cheap and sell rich. When I hear a loud Greek chorus my ears always perk up. 

My use of Google+ over the last two years says that contrarian streak has paid off again. ROI assured it is time to master the most disruptive social network on the planet and that is where Jeff's amazingly detailed understanding of this tool comes in. 

Jeff provides his "Ultimate Guide" (and for once that term is accurate) in multiple formats. I'm working my way through the PDF (and yes that means I am old school). Learn anyway that works for you, but LEARN. 

There are only a handful of people on EARH who can make millions online. Making money online requires putting someone else first, something most aren't willing to do. Every great Internet marketer I know signed on to G+ years ago, but even they could learn a thing or too from @JeffSauer's amazing guide.
