44 Must Read Resources on Content Marketing
We could wrap The Lede this week with this link alone. Broken up into useful categories like “How To Spread Your Content”, “ROI of Content Marketing”, and “Content Marketing Ideas”, Mr. Work and Mr. Siu will keep you reading and learning for a good week. At least.

10 Reasons Why We Love Making [and Reading] Lists
Another great list on why we love lists. As Mr. Clark would say, “Metafabulous”. Though it continues to be despised, maligned, and reviled by those concerned more with their pseudointellectual pedigrees than with what actually works in human communication, the humble list carries on.

The Dirty Little Secret Of Overnight Success

I love this article. By taking the side of the audience first, Mr. Bhargava makes a good case against content that favors the tricky, the clever, and the merely amusing. The ordinary and the obvious — though not necessarily sexy — sell.

Jason Fried on Marketing Through Sharing
In my opinion, best link of the week. Watch this three times. Put it into practice. If you get this, you get content marketing. If you get content marketing, you win.
