This week I’ll be featuring a mix bag of posts from blogging, an awesome email marketing guide from Steve. I’ve added an interesting video on social media and building your audience. Oh and don’t forget the money article at the bottom.

The Guerrilla’s Guide To Attracting Your “Right” Audience – Mars Dorian is one of those bloggers you need to watch! I think he’s one of those “alternative bloggers” out there who’s really shining like a beacon in the sea of bloggers out there.

Email Marketing
6 Affiliate Marketing Emails that MAKE You Money – Here, Steve, spills out his 4 years of experience with email marketing. Long post but very detailed and highly recommended!
Social Media
1. “Less Followers” Is The New “More Followers” – I’ve done a previous post here on my Newbie Twitter Cheat Sheet. This statement really sums up this whole article by Francesco Rosales,
“Influence doesn’t spread by getting huge numbers. Audiences are built by truly connecting with individuals, one at a time, getting your message across and making people fall in love with it.”
2. Remember when I said social media is about your audience? Watch this video from SocialMediaExaminer – Why Social Media is Inseparable From Customer Service
