You?re not just going to wake up one day and magically know everything there is to know about building a strong social media presence for your brand. Besides, even if you did, it?s an ever-evolving game and changes almost daily.
So, you will have to learn about social media and its trends to truly stay on top of your game. But how do you that? The same way you learn about any other topic: you study from people who know more about it than you. And those people have blogs and websites.
Get your bookmark button ready because I?m going to share what we read here at Web Success Agency to stay in the know.
KISSmetrics Blog
Just as the name would imply, Kissmetrics is all about analytics. It?s not just about the numbers, it?s the message hidden behind the numbers. ?Google Analytics tells you what happened. KISSmetrics tells you who did it.?
Its blog focuses on analytics, marketing and testing. They?re known for their infographics. They break down the information for even common folks like us to understand. Though its focus is on social media, they also keep an eye trained on web trends. If you?re only going to bookmark one, make it this one.

Search Engine Land
The site acts more like a news site. It calls itself a ?must-read hub? for news and information about search engines. There are features and analysis as well as search news briefs.? The site also has several bloggers who delve deeper into search engine topics.

Mashable
Just as its name would imply, Mashable is a little bit of everything. It?s almost sensory overload when you first log on. From social media to tech news to business to entertainment to lifestyle news, Mashable covers just about every base there is.
For our purposes, we?ll obviously stick to social media. Two items worth keeping an eye out for are ?The Next Big Thing? and ?What?s Hot.?

Unmarketing
?Stop marketing. Start engaging.? From the homepage, you instantly know what you?re getting into with this site. Unmarketing, from the mind of best-selling author Scott Stratten, is a site that tells it like it is.
There?s a lot of bad marketing out there, and Stratten is more than happy to point it out to you, especially if you?re the one producing it. It?s a lot of good information, and if nothing else, it?s a great read.
