Weekly Digital Marketing, Design & Ecommerce Round-Up: 4/6 to 4/10

Last week we took a break from the weekly round-up as I traveled to the other side of the world and got settled into my new life here in Japan. I’m still shaking off some jet lag, or that could just be the Asahi’s from the other night. Maybe both. Anyway, here are the best digital marketing, design, and ecommerce blog posts we came across this past week.

If you want to make sure you catch the weekly round-up, along with all of the other content we’re producing here at Tribe, please subscribe to our blog today!

Anyway, Kevan Lee wrote up a great post this week outlining the anatomy of the elusive perfect blog post. Everything from developing headlines to writing a good hook to image best-practices is covered. I bookmarked this one for later reference, and recommend you do the same.

How to Engage and Persuade People Through Storytelling

By Neil Patel – My boy Neil’s done it again, this time by detailing how people’s brains are hardwired to respond to stories. As any marketer worth their salt knows, good stories create great user experiences. In his infographic, Neil breaks down how storytelling actually effects the listeners brain by citing experiments and case studies.
