This week, I thought I would give a tip of the hat to the blogs I visit on a regular basis. Here are the top six blogs that I make sure to read as often as I can:
Occam’s Razor by Avinash Kaushik
Web Analytics guru Avinash Kaushik updates this blog every other Monday with intense, educational posts that always help the reader become an “analysis ninja!” If you’re into tracking the results of your online campaigns, website, or blog, be sure to check him out. It’s pretty specialized information for a quite specialized field, but Mr. Kaushik does a great job of making his genius accessible for all.
Seth Godin’s Blog
Marketing maven Seth Godin provides a daily lesson in marketing and entrepreneurship. His posts can be long or short, but they always provide great food for thought about the way businesses are run.
The Art of Nonconformity
Chris Guillebeau is, to say the least, an interesting guy. I don’t say that because his stated goal is to visit every country in the world, which would be 197 by his count, by April 7, 2013 (although it is, and he’s already up to 111 as of this writing). I say it because Chris just isn’t the kind of guy to conform to the concept of “normal.” So whether travel is your thing (like his) or not, Chris provides great education and encouragement every Monday and Thursday to help you practice “The Art of Nonconformity.”
Scott Kelby’s Photoshop Insider
Although the blog header says it is for “friends of Scott Kelby,” he writes like you and I are his friends. He’s just that kind of guy. If you enjoy photography, you really need to stop by Scott’s blog every day. Don’t miss his incredibly masochistic and therapy-worthy “Embarrassing Photo Thursday!”
Joe McNally’s Blog
Speaking of photography, Joe McNally is one of the best there is. And it’s not just me that thinks so: he was called “perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today” by American Photo magazine. Joe shares his wealth of experience, great road stories, and a technical tip or two whenever he gets time to update his blog. Also, check out his two books: The Moment It Clicks and The Hot Shoe Diaries.
Income.com Blog
John Reese is one of the smartest guys in the Internet Marketing game. If you are “in it to win it,” you really need to be reading what he writes. John will go months without making a peep (except on his Twitter feed), so his is one of the blogs that subscribe to via RSS so I can see when a new post is added without having to actually check the site every day.
Alright, that’s my top six blogs. Yeah, I know it’s supposed to be a “Top Ten” or something else a little catchier, but why add filler?
So go ahead and tell me what I’m missing. What are your top four (or any other number of blogs) that should be on my list? Leave a comment below…
