There are just so many that I had to cut back to the ones that really give me something to think about.<\/p>\n<p>After analyzing these top business blogs I thought it was interesting that each kind of offer something different. I&#8217;m going to analyze each and see if we can pull something out to learn from them as we try to create our own successful business blogs.<\/p>\n<h2>Entrepreneur<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Blog:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/blog\/index.html\">Entrepreneur<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This site is great for news about being a business owner. In fact, you just have to be in business to get interesting information on this site. I love the idea of taking the news in an industry and providing perspective. Anybody can report the news (for some reason reporters think it&#8217;s a race to be first), but it takes more skill to analyze the implications for readers.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what Entrepreneur does.<\/p>\n<h2>Inc.<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Blog:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inc.com\/\">Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inc. has become\u00a0<em>Home Of The Lists<\/em>. The entire site is a big list it seems like, but you know what? People love it. The information seems so basic on the surface, but I find myself going back there. I don&#8217;t get value out of every post, but some are really useful.<\/p>\n<p>The great thing about a list is it&#8217;s easy to take action. Entrepreneurs want to take action. That&#8217;s why Inc. gives them lists. The site has found a formula that works and they really hammer it home and it&#8217;s working.<\/p>\n<h2>Forbes<\/h2>\n<p>Blog: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/home_usa\/\">Forbes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t my favorite site, but tons of people visit the site and have read the magazine. They must be doing something right. I think they have a lot of thought provoking articles. The writers seem to have points to prove and that&#8217;s not always a bad thing. When the status quo is challenged it forces all of us to question the way we do things.<\/p>\n<p>When we challenge ourselves we take things even further and that&#8217;s great.<\/p>\n<h2>Atlantic<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Blog:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/business\/\">The Atlantic Business<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over the last two years I&#8217;ve been reading a lot of Atlantic articles. I hadn&#8217;t even planned on doing it. I just saw articles from the Atlantic all over social media and I thought they were an interesting case to include on this list. The newspaper is not exclusively about business, but they do have a very good business blog.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know when business became so involved in politics so I avoid those articles, but there are still some great ones on this site. The great thing is they are usually very in depth.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t think people read long stories or blog posts?<\/p>\n<p>People read The Atlantic like crazy.<\/p>\n<h2>Seth Godin<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Blog:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/sethgodin.typepad.com\/\">Seth&#8217;s Blog<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Seth Godin&#8217;s blog was one of the first I started reading back five or six years ago. He has an interesting approach to marketing. He tells stories. He makes things actionable without giving away too much information.<\/p>\n<p>Godin&#8217;s posts are short. He&#8217;s always focusing on his main product, which is the book. He writes much on his blog, but he saves the really meaty material for his books. It&#8217;s a great example of a blog that can drive interest and sales in a product.<\/p>\n<p>Takeaway: Tease your target readers with really good information and then dazzle them with your product. I like using the example of a plumber here on the GBW Blog. A plumber can easily write about unclogging drains on a business blog. It helps people, but to the plumber it&#8217;s basic information. But with the blog the plumber earns trust and when the bigger projects come along readers hire the blogger than helped them.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>There are many other business blogs and we all have our favorites. I think that&#8217;s the point of blogging. You write for a few people, not everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Share your favorite blogs in the comments and let&#8217;s continue the discussion about top business blogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;re taking a look at the top business blogs about business.
