  • Stop bugging them and get bloggers to care about your business
    Getting bloggers to write about your product can help to attract attention for your business, John Jantsch writes. You can help to get bloggers interested by establishing relationships with them such as by leaving thoughtful comments on their posts. It's also a good idea to follow them on Twitter and to consider interviewing them for your own blog. In any case, "you've got to put in the work to personalize your pitch and build relationships by demonstrating you're a resource and not a pest," he writes.

  • 5 tips to help you get more done
    You can clear your mind and get more focused on important tasks by writing down all of the worries and ideas inside your head, according to David Allen. Also, instead of leaving e-mails in your inbox, you should process them until there aren't any left, he recommends. This can involve acting on them immediately, finding someone else to handle them or scheduling time to deal with them later.

Tips & Tools 

  • Tips and tools for Pinterest marketing
    The secret to getting Pinterest users to share your content is to provide visually interesting material, writes A.J. Kumar of Single Grain. "You won't see many plain text articles being shared -- they simply aren't as aesthetically pleasing on Pinterest boards," he writes. Tools such as Pin a Quote, SpinPicks and Pinterest Pro can help marketers to get more out of the site, Monika Jansen writes.
