Over the last few years, Inbound Marketing has rapidly emerged as a proven and effective approach that helps B2B and B2C business of all sizes cost-effectively: expand their reach, connect with profitable customers, generate sales, and generate rewarding ROI.
And given the growing importance and influence of Inbound Marketing, it’s not surprising that many individuals and business are searching for tips, strategies, insights and ideas on how they can reap lasting results – and avoid pitfalls, risks and problems along the way.
To help point you in the right direction, below we’re pleased to highlight what in our opinion are some of the top online resources for Inbound Marketing best practices:
Resource: HubSpot’s Marketing Blog (Inbound Marketing Section)
Where It Is: http://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/topic/Inbound-Marketing
What You’ll Find: HubSpot’s Inbound Marketing-focused blog is loaded with useful advice and, indeed, more best practices than you can imagine. The information is nicely laid out, very easy to understand (i.e. you don’t have to be a marketing expert), and there are some great Infographics as well. Really, HubSpot is the company that invented the term “Inbound Marketing” in the first place, so it’s no surprise that they’re definitely a top online resource.
Resource: Peter Kim’s Website
