Want to go further in blogging and entrepreneurship in 2014?
This is far from a definitive list, but these ten blogs are all packed with great advice.
(And I’d love to hear your recommendations in the comments.)
I’ve listed the blogs in alphabetical order, rather than ranking them in any way.
Jon Morrow’s blog has in-depth posts packed with great advice (whether it’s from Jon or a guest poster). Enter your email address on the front page to get his great Headline Hacks “cheat sheet” – a one-stop shop for great blog post titles.
#2: Copyblogger
One of the best known blogs out there, Copyblogger consistently has great advice, in punchy, easy-to-take-in posts. If you’re going to succeed online, you need to establish yourself as an authority – and Copyblogger will teach you how.
#3: DailyBlogTips
Perhaps I’m a little biased here but I think DailyBlogTips has a good balance of content for beginners and for more advanced bloggers. We make sure we include plenty of concrete tips that you can put into practice right away.
Danny Iny’s Firepole Marketing blog always impresses me with high-quality posts. They’ve got a newly-launched podcast, and Danny writes one of my favourite newsletters, answering readers’ questions with thoughtful but honest advice.
#5: HubSpot
The HubSpot team publish consistently great content that’s bound to teach you something new. They put quite a lot of posts out, but they’re all great reads, covering a wide range of online marketing topics.
#6: Michael Hyatt
Michael, former CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, blogs about leadership, entreprenurship, and publishing. If you’re looking for inspiration and ethical, value-centred advice, his blog is a great one to follow. His book Platform is also well worth a read (it’s based on many of his best posts, plus extra material).
#7: ProBlogger
If you’ve been around the blogging world for any length of time, you’ll have heard of ProBlogger. Darren Rowse – plus guests – publish lots of excellent beginner-friendly content, plus some more in-depth tips and advice.
#8: Quick Sprout
With in-depth posts, plus lots of statistics and screenshots, Neil Patel produces excellent content that’s well worth your time (even the really long posts!) He’s founder of Crazy Egg and KISSmetrics, and has a bunch of free extras to offer – like the “Double Your Traffic in 30 Days” course.
With excellent guest authors and definitive posts, Social Media Examiner is the blog to read for everything Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ or Pinterest related (they also have occasional posts on blogging).
#10: WP Beginner
Whenever I need a WordPress tutorial, chances are that WP Beginner has it. Their posts range from fairly straightforward ones aimed at general users to those aimed at developers and designers working with WordPress.
