6 Blogs You Should Be Following
I am an avid reader and have been since childhood. With the advent of technology and the explosion of content readily available and easily accessible online, I have added blogs to my daily reading lists. I follow more blogs than what is listed here, but I thought I would keep the list short and list some of my top favorites. I present to you the top 6 blogs that I like and think you should follow:
Seth Godin
“SETH GODIN is the author of 17 books that have been bestsellers around the world and have been translated into more than 35 languages. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership and most of all, changing everything.”
Gary Vaynerchuk
“In the spring of 2009, my brother AJ and I launched VaynerMedia, a new breed of agency that would help Fortune 500 companies like GE, PepsiCo,Green Mountain Coffee, the NY Jets, and the Brooklyn Nets find their social voices and build their digital brands through micro content and other story telling actions. The idea took hold – what started as a 6-person project 4 years ago has swelled to a 250-strong team spread across the country.”
Small Business Marketing Blog (by Duct Tape Marketing)
“John Jantsch has been called the World’s Most Practical Small Business Expert for consistently delivering real-world, proven small business marketing ideas and strategies. His blog was chosen as a Forbes favorite for marketing and small business and his podcast, a top ten marketing show on iTunes, was called a “must listen” by Fast Company magazine.”
Entrepreneur.com
“Business ideas and trends from Entrepreneur Magazine. The latest news, expert advice, and growth strategies for small business owners.”
Jenn’s Trends in Social Media Management
“My goal in my blogs is to bring you relevant social media and business trends and discuss their applications, implications, and benefits. I will write from my perspective about the things I enjoy and use regularly. I also scour social media, forums, magazines, headlines and groups to find information that I think you will find fun, interesting and valuable. I sincerely hope that you enjoy my postings!”
Under30CEO
“Goal: To inspire, lead and educate the next generation to live more succesful and fulfilling lives. Under30CEO is the leading media property for entrepreneurs, inspiring the world’s next generation of business leaders. Under30CEO features direct interviews with the most successful young people on the planet, profiles twenty-something startups, provides advice from those who have done it before, and publishes cutting edge news for the young entrepreneur.”
I would like to note that all of the descriptions were taken directly from their respective sites. To make it easy to keep up with and read new content from the blogs that I follow, I use a RSS feed reader. I used to be a user of the old Google Reader that was shut down, through a third party source, but I have migrated over to Feedly. I can recommend Feedly as a pretty good RSS feed reader to use to follow blogs.
