Well there got to be very many blogs on this topic, more so successful individuals running such blogs. I know quite a few but non of them is mentioned here. I guess I need to check this one out to add to my portfolio. Video blogging is one of my weak point, I need much help there hope I will learn something from Video Fruit.
I’m glad you found the post useful.
Thanks for the comment Anita!
This is a good list, some I have not heard of before, there are a few SEO blogs that I believe deserve a mention
matthew woodward
viperchill
diggitymarketing
gotchseo
cognitiveseo
Lots of free stuff on these blogs, I personally use a lot of stuff from diggitymarketing. Have even seen some of my rankings increase after applying a few methods.
Thanks for the additions. I added links to the list so these are easy to check out.
Thanks for the comment Minhaj!
These are great! Thank you!
I learned who I think I’ll be looking at now more closely and following 🙂 One that I think I’ll be favoring is TwelveSkip. The others I will be looking at as well to keep on top of things.
Thank you for posting this list! It’s really helpful!!!
I’m glad you found the list helpful. Thanks for the tip, I’ll look at that site closer soon.
Thanks for the comment Kaeyoes!
With blogging being the number one way to start making money online, it can be a daunting task finding the right info to get you up and running. There is indeed a whole ton of rubbish out there.
This is an extensive list, many of which I have not come across, so am looking forward to checking them out.
I also like ViperChill and MatthewWoodward and also Smart Passive Income from Pat Flynn.
Well done on putting this together – an awesome library of useful info
Thanks for the tips, I’ll check out those sites soon. I’m glad the list was useful to you.
Thanks for the comment Jon!
Wow this is a great list. I will need a lot of time to refer all of them. A good way to learn is to learn by examples. I guess a good SEO knowledge is number one to learn first. There are many more but I will see how they compose the content.
Create quality content, then the SEO almost takes care of itself. Most put too much importance on SEO. Back when the search engines were less aware of content quality, you needed to help them out more with SEO, now they are much better at recognizing value.
Post good content and you won’t have to do much for SEO.
Thanks for the comment Kit!
I definitely know all about being overwhelmed by the amount of blogs there are to help you with your own blog. Your list is a great because not only do you mention the name of the blogs but also add a description. Which made it easier for me to see which ones I want to check out. I didn’t know any of these blogs so thanks for the suggestions.
Glad to help. Finding good blogs isn’t easy. There are plenty out there, but not all are helpful. This list is meant to be a good jumping off point to find articles that will be of value for your particular situation.
Thanks for the comment Victor!
Completely agree with you! When I was starting out I was following soo many blogs and everyone said different things. It got me so confused that eventually I didn’t know what to do to make any good progress with my websites.
You mention some excellent blogs. As of today I’m following Authority Hacker (they’ve got a great payed course too!), Ahrefs and NichePursuits. I see that last one is not in your list. Maybe you could check it out. It’s the blog of Spencer Hawks and he has a great online following.
Cheers!
Thanks for the tip. I’ll check that site out. Thanks for the tip and I’m glad you found the list useful.
Thanks for the comment Jurgen!
Wow thank you so much for sharing this information. Just another great example how Wealthy Affiliate members help each other out.
I’ve been watching Brian Deans Backllinko videos on youtube, and he definitly has some good ideas. I haven’t been successful in impementing any of his techniques yet, though.
I am a recent fan of Mad Lemmings too, lots of good advice there. I can’t wait to get through some of these other sites, thank you so much.
I’m glad you found the list useful.
Thanks for the comment James!
Now that has got to be the largest list of expert blogging sites i’ve ever seen. I’ve got to check out some of these without getting too overwhelmed.
There is so much great information here that is going to be so beneficial to me in my affiliate marketing endeavours.
There are topics I am dying do learn about and this is the best post I’ve read in a while.
Awesome, I am glad you found the post useful.
Thanks for the kind words Stew!
I like this post. Thanks for sharing.
