Along the way, we come across a lot of great information on other websites. Today we&#8217;ve collected a few that we&#8217;ve liked recently on subjects like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logomaker.com\">logo design<\/a> and building your business. Check them out below.<\/p>\n<h2>5 Important Entrepreneur Articles Worth Reading<\/h2>\n<p><strong>From Marketing Profs: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpdailyfix.com\/your-brand-is-more-than-a-logo-its-an-experience\/?adref=nlt101712\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">Your Brand Is More Than a Logo<\/a>.<\/strong><br \/>\nKey idea: \u201cA logo is a vital element of how you communicate your brand. A logo is a visual representation of who and what you are.\u00a0But your logo is just the beginning of your brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Seth Godin and EarWolf: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earwolf.com\/show\/startup-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">StartUp School<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nWhat it is: \u00a0In this rare live recording, hear Seth as he guides thirty entrepreneurs through a workshop exploring how they can build and run their dream business. You can also find it on iTunes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From JJ Ramberg: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.constantcontact.com\/fresh-insights\/how-to-transform-your-smal-business\/?cc=SM_GG_ConstantContact\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Essential Tips to Transform Your Small Business<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nKey idea:\u00a0\u201c&#8230;for the past many years I\u2019ve been in this really lucky position of getting to interview people about how they\u2019re growing their business and then use those tips in my own company.\u00a0Here are some of the things I\u2019ve learned along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Forbes: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kernlewis\/2012\/09\/26\/stop-futzing-with-your-logo-and-get-back-to-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">Stop Futzing With Your Logo and Get Back to Work!<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nKey idea: \u201cThis small business owner was guilty of focusing on a tangential issue (dated corporate identity graphics) rather than on the core issue: Is his business sustainably delivering on its brand promise? If so, the current logo represents something positive. If not, fixing the problems within the business is far more important than revising a logo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From SEOMoz: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seomoz.org\/blog\/getting-onpage-seo-right-in-2012-and-beyond-whiteboard-friday?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+seomoz+%28SEOmoz+Daily+Blog%29\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">Getting On Page SEO Right<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nKey idea: \u201cPeople abandon search results much more quickly than they used to. Rankings doesn&#8217;t necessarily lead to the traffic. We see click-through rates sometimes on position two, three, or four being higher than on position one because something is more interesting about the listing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bonus Link (from the Logomaker Blog Archive): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.logomaker.com\/blog\/2011\/07\/19\/20-questions-to-ask-about-your-brand\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(Opens a new window)\" rel=\"noopener\">20 Questions to Ask About Your Brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We strive to present interesting ideas and news in this blog for small business owners.
