Hi Stacey,
Zac shared this super helpful post for new bloggers recently:
http://www.bloggingtips.com/2015/09/14/5-steps-to-starting-a-successful-blog-from-day-1/
Reading the post inspired me to keep simplifying my blog posts and eBooks. More experienced bloggers tend to assume way too much; like all of our readers are veteran bloggers. Every day I seem to get comments from hungry new bloggers who appreciate my insight. Zac’s post nudged me a bit more toward simple, and toward blogging for excited new bloggers.
Fab shares as always.
Thanks Stacey!

Hi Stacey, great links but I’ve been wondering which advertising company that is cheaper than Adwords that brings more traffic to blog.
Link building is one thing that bloggers will never stop doing because its the most important aspect of search engine optimization.
However, earning it is also very cool and that is even the best because you won’t have to do any extra work for that, all you have to do is create contents that is very superb and people will happily link to it.
All together, the links here are really interesting.
