7 Internet Marketing Blogs I Like To Read
July 9, 2012 · Print This Article
In a perfect Peggy world, I would spend a BIG part of my day doing nothing but reading internet marketing blogs. But alas, I’ve got to get some work done too so my internet marketing blog reading tends to be hit and miss.
Here are the blogs I like to read these days (in no particular order):
www.stevescottsite.com Steve knows how to create authority sites in non-IM niches that make money. He is totally transparent and cares about what he teaches you. I had the wonderful opportunity to do a guest post for him here: http://www.stevescottsite.com/recycle-articles
www.smartpassiveincome.com Pat is the man! He goes out of his way to not only tell you what he’s learned and how he does things in great detail, but he shares how he makes his income each month and exactly how much he makes.
www.clicknewz.com Lynn is interesting, wicked smart, and has an easy way of sharing her wisdom on her blog. She’s been successful online for quite some time now and there are a lot of meaty posts to dive into.
www.carriewilkerson.com Carrie is a mover and shaker with incredible insight. I do wish she’d post more often to her blog because I like the way she approaches business and life. I got to listen to her at NAMS and picked up some great marketing strategies.
www.firepolemarketing.com/blog This is Danny and he’s got a lot to say. He authored Engagement From Scratch!, and he walks the walk of his own amazing success story. Here’s a guest post I did for him last year: http://www.firepolemarketing.com/blog/2011/09/12/blog-marketer
www.adriennesmith.net Adrienne is a marketer with heart, and she’s not shy about sharing what she knows and giving you a heads up about new things that have come out that will make your IM life easier.
http://ruthzivecopywriting.com/posts This is a new favorite of mine. One of the topics Ruth blogs about is a big part of my business – content marketing. I like to see what she has to say on topics that I write about too. Plus she’s a copywriter and I can always learn more about that.
As you can see, the blogs I read are as much about the people behind them as they are about the blogging topics. I appreciate honesty as well as information I can learn from.
- How about you? Do you read any of these blogs?
- Go ahead and tell me about ONE favorite blogger you like to follow.




Wow – Peg, I’m so honoured to be on this list! I follow some of these, but I’m bookmarking to check out the others! Thanks for the shout out.

What a lovely surprise Peggy, thank you so much for including my blog in your list. I’m so very flattered to be among some awesome blogs here.
There are only two on this list that I’m not familiar with so I’ll have to check them out. Steve will be guest posting over at my place next Monday so be sure and stop by and say hey! He’d love that.
Thanks Peggy, I appreciate you so much. Now, enjoy your week okay!

I read a couple of those blogs, as well as Nicole Dean’s http://www.nicoleonthenet.com. I have learned so much from all of you that I feel like I am taking online college classes and should come out with a degree:)

Hello Adrienne,
Thanks for the heads up on Steve’s pending guest post, although I would have seen it anyway since I’m a regular visitor to your blog.
Love it when my favorites get together.

Carl – I like to read Tony Shepherd’s blog too. He has a way of telling it like it is and entertaining me at the same time!
Hi Peggy,
First just want to say thank you for sharing these quality blogs with us. I will be checking them out.
Out of all these blogs here, at present I only know of and visit Adrienne Smith. When Adrienne has something to share she does a great job explaining things so we can learn.
She has such a good way of teaching that it is so easy to follow. She makes hard things simple.

Hi Terry,
That’s the thing about Adrienne, isn’t it? She’s a good explainer and not hypey at all.
Have a wonderful week, my friend.

Aaaargh – you reminded me of some blogs I’ve been meaning to follow more. I have them in my RSS feed, but I haven’t been checking it lately. Bad girl.
I’ve also followed Michelle MacPhearson for awhile now. Though I don’t always implement all the guerrilla marketing she does, it’s great to learn about all the tactics she uses.. She’s at http:///www.fromideatoempire.com
Thanks for the blog recommendations. Now you have to tell us how you DO manage to read anything at all in your busy day!

I am also a big fan of Steve’s, Pat’s and Adrienne’s. I have implemented many tips they have provided and see great results.
Marcus Sherifdeen’s “The Sales Lion” is also a great read.
(Not sure whether it’s already in your list )

Hi Shamelle,
Yes! Marcus Sheridan (Mufasa), The Sales Lion, is another enjoyable blog to read. Right on there! He has mastered the art of educainment (entertainment while educating).
