It’s that time to share some cool blogs you should be reading. Finding new blogs to explore is so contagious and fun. I love exploring different blog styles and how people present their material to the world and their readers. I started a series called, “Blogs of the Month”, where every month I will share a list of blogs that I discover to pass on to you for your reading enjoyment.
Today, I just wanted to give props to some blogs that I have been reading and I hope you’re able to expand your reading habits by checking out these unique blogs. Some you have already seen and some you may haven’t, either way it shows my taste and how I crave variety, do you? Check them out, you might just find something new to subscribe to!
Jeff Goins – Jeff is a gifted writer. I have been reading his posts for a while and he truly digs deep when he puts pin to paper. When you start reading his posts, you can’t help to keep reading. No post is too long or too short because you become mesmerized by his skills. Jeff is truly a writer everyone should be reading.
Moonpreneur – Dee Ankary delivers great blog tips, while still confessing to love being a geeky blogger. That’s good blogger for you! Her site is a great start for bloggers looking for crucial tips to help enhance their blog presence for any entrepreneur.
Web.Search.Social – Carol Lynn Rivera is the editor-in-chief of Web.Search.Social.com where she blogs about business and creative marketing. She offers tons of advice on various topics like copywriting, marketing insights, planning, social marketing and email marketing. Outside of her blog, she also offers services geared towards branding and design for your business. On a personal note: she is super nice and a great person to network with.
Annie Andre.com – Annie Andre is an entrepreneur, traveler and mother. Annie helps people learn how to be creative and live a meaningful life. We all have hectic lives and often get stuck in a rut and miss the big picture. Her blog is filled with life lessons we can all relate too, while finding the true meaning of what life is really all about: family.
HeidiCohen.com – Heidi Cohen is excellent marketer. Her blog provides direct marketing tips for any would-be or professional blogger. What I like most about her blog is that her tips are simple to understand and she truly understands how to deliver practical tips so you can apply it to your marketing goals.
MichaelHyatt.com – It all started with a post about how to take a nap and I was hooked. The information you can get from this blog is priceless. Michael blogs about leadership, productivity, social media and many other subjects. What I like most about his blog is that every post is written to give us a creative insight with relevant content to lead our lives with purpose.
Ryzeonline.com – Blog posts created by this man is not only thought-provoking, but can carry its weight in gold if he starts the conversation. On his blog he breaks it down with posts about life, happiness, money and what success really means. Get into this man’s head and you won’t come out. He is truly a conversationalist and a gifted writer. He makes you think, stop and listen and he has become a great friend. A blog I recommend you read.
HajraKvetches.com – Hajra is one super nice lady and one talented writer. She is just about everywhere and this is one blogger you want commenting on your blog. Hajra blogs about social media, writing and life where she truly engages her readers in conversation about her posts or your comments. She’s like Adrienne Smith: she is everywhere and she’s a great writer!
CookiesandClogs.com – I love Terri Ann’s site because she blogs about bay area travels close to my home. She offers valuable information for parents about homeschooling tips, travel and other fun stuff for families living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She’s a super nice lady and I am glad I get to read her blog.
MelanieKissell.com – This is a mom that knows her stuff. Her blog posts take the boring out of building a business and puts the fun back in. Going solo as a business owner is scary and Melanie’s blog helps to make it fun and help you market your business smart. She is super funny and her post: Toothpicks and Toilet paper will have you laughing!
SexyFocusedAmbitious.com – Lauryn Doll is a Hip-Hop marketing guru with a blog focused on social media, Lifestyle, content development and how the entertainment industry uses social media to their benefit. She has written tons of valuable articles on business, public relations and digital publishing.
Jackie Purnell.com – This lady speaks volumes with advice on breaking through business challenges we all face day to day. What I like most about Jackie, is her no-nonsense approach to the lame excuses we tell ourselves and why we aren’t successful in our own business. She tells is like it is and her posts will keep you glued in.

Sonia,
I have some new blogs on my feed now.
I love reading Cookies and Clogs. She writes simple posts with great photos. And Terri Ann is so nice!
Hajra is my bud, but then again I think she is everyone’s bud! LOL. It’s the truth, she is everywhere. She tells me it is tiring but I know she loves the interaction and conversations so much.
Have a great weekend!

Bwahaha – I must toot my own horn there. He does take care of my IT stuff but I do all the design myself. I have countless days blown on graphic design to prove it

Hi Sonia, Thanks for listing these blogs. I find it useful because they are ones that I never would have gone to unless introduced by you. If there was a blog that I would like you to mention it would be Adrienne Smith’s blog http://adriennesmith.net/

Sometimes the easiest things she does make such an impact on a ton of blogs and I never tire of telling everyone about her. Plus she always goes out of her way to give back.
