stuff you need to know

We love sharing great information!  This week we’ve found some excellent resources. Sometimes there is just stuff you need to know.  Our goal for the blog at Design by Insight is to provide you with that information.

Excellent information about when you need to secure permissions from Jane Friedman.   Very concise and clear explanation.  A must read for all writers.

13 Steps to Being the Worst Blogger on the Planet from ProBlogger.  Tongue-in-cheek … but things we see all the time.  Note especially #7.

We loved this from Jeff Goins – Yes, You Can Publish a Book (Here’s How).   Jeff explains the three simple steps he took to garner his publishing deal.   Excellent explanations and clear information.

Love it or not, the Facebook timeline is here to stay (until they change it again).   Copyblogger offers 4 Simple Steps to a Facebook Timeline that Tells Your Marketing Story.

We tweeted this one but it’s a great one for writers … 44 Essential Twitter Hashtags Every Writer Should Know from Author Media.  {Which is a great site for the writers amongst you!}

Last week we shared some great posts on Google+ and yesterday Chris Brogan shared on Entrepeneur why he loves Google+.    He calls it “the next big thing.”  May be worth checking out if you’ve been hesitating!

What kind of information and resources would you appreciate receiving on our blog?
