Weekly Links Roundup – Selling Books, Caching Plugins, Repurposing Content

This week’s WordPress and web marketing links.

If you’re a writer and interested in selling your physical and/or digital books from your website, check out this review of the best WordPress plugins and themes for self-publishing.

Caching plugins can help your WordPress site load faster – particularly if you’re on a slow shared host. One of the most popular caching plugins is W3 Total Cache, but it’s a real bear to configure. So here’s a helpful step-by-step guide for setting up W3 Total Cache for newbies.

If W3 is too much to deal with, try one of the other caching plugins in this review. Personally I like WP Fastest Cache (free) and WP Rocket (commercial) for user-friendliness.

Finally – do you repurpose your content?

Learn how to leverage your efforts and save time and money by repurposing content.
