#MondayMashup 2015 Volume 11

It’s the end of September, and conveniently, the last day is on a Monday, so I figured it’s time for a #MondayMashup post. I’m really pleased with this week’s picks as there’s a lot of great things happening all around the blogosphere lately.

As usual, I have to explain what is #MondayMashup to the newbies in the house. #MondayMashup is a roundup of some of the best content from around the Internet, specifically focused in niche like blogging, social media, SEO, and web design. These coordinate with some of my categories on Blondish.net

I try to vary who I pick from, but some of the people I pick from have some amazing content each week. I hope that in providing this roundup, that you enrich your knowledge in your niche, and about growing your online business.
