Excellent idea. I removed almost all of the outgoing links to other websites from my pages. I wasn't getting anything in return from them. But I am going to go link to my blog posts of those same places.
It's considered good practice to interlink your website's pages whereas necessary. I wouldn't ditch linking to external sources completely though. As long as you think they're highly relevant and that you'd be providing value to the user for directing them to those pages on other sites, then do so. A better alternative would be create your own content based on those information from external sources but make sure yours would be better and isn't just a duplicate. That way, your visitors wouldn't have to leave your site.

I am going to copy/paste your post, save it, and also print it so I will see it hanging on the end of my nose - small office. I need reminders. Thank you for taking the time.
You're welcome.

I have my inn FB page linked to my Twitter acct. so all the tweets also show up on the FB page with no extra effort on my part. I'm the verbose type so the character limitation of Twitter really crowds me, but it would be perfect for just posting a brief mention and link to a longer post on the blog, and it gets posted to FB automatically.
I'm not sure if you're already familiar with or using it but I'd recommend using Buffer
https://bufferapp.com/ to manage your posting activities on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. A free account should be enough though you'll always have the option to upgrade in the future if things necessitate. It might take a little while to get used to it but once you're fully acquainted with the app, you'll really save a lot of time and energy. It basically helps you schedule your posts on all your accounts on different social media services as well as track how they're performing (potential reach, no. of clicks, etc.) so you'll know what kind of content your followers prefer the most.
Of course, there's no replacement for actually joining the conversation with your audience. Take a few minutes everyday to browse the comments on your Facebook page or mentions on Twitter and leave replies if necessary. Doing so creates a personal connection between your business and your target demography.
