If you’re a blogger looking to increase traffic, monetize your blog, or improve your content or design, there are quite a few blogger resource blogs that can help. As a start, we’ve put together a list of six essential blogs every blogger should read on a regular basis.
Hot Blog Tips – Keith Bloemendaal’s blog covers a wide range of topics and is updated regularly. Having started several businesses both off and online, Keith (a regular commenter on Blogtrepreneur) could be described as a serial entrepreneur and really knows his stuff. Hot Blog Tips topics include social media, SEO, WordPress, and general blogging. It’s a great resource to learn about any of these topics from a guy who lives it every day.
ProBlogger – No list of blogger blogs would be complete without Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger. This blog is packed full of information to help bloggers make a living online. As Darren (also the creator of TwiTip.com) puts it in his recent post welcoming new readers, “ProBlogger is a blog that is devoted to helping bloggers improve their blogging and explore ways to earn an income at the same time by writing about topics that they love.” If you’re new to blogging, be sure to check out his post, Blogging Tips for Beginners.
CopyBlogger – Another no-brainer when creating this list was CopyBlogger. Promoting successful online marketing through improving your copywriting skills and content marketing strategies is the aim of founder Brian Clark’s blog. With posts like 10 Secrets to More Magnetic Copy, The 7 Deadly Sins of Blogging, and 5 Steps to Going Viral on Twitter, it’s no surprise CopyBlogger has attracted over 106,000 subscribers and nearly 50,000 Twitter followers. If you’re not one of them, click over and see what all the buzz is about.
Weblog Tools Collection – This site’s name says it all. With tons of articles, videos, and news on everything WordPress, WTC is a complete collection of tools for WordPress bloggers. Whether you’re interested in the latest WP widget, or theme, skin or template, you’ll find it on this site. Not using WordPress? In addition to WordPress-specific information, the blog posts cover a wide range of other useful topics, from web ethics to the business of blogging, so check it out.
BLogic Think – Offering lots of free WordPress plugins and themes, and some great blogging tips, this blog, started and written by Yunike Puspita and Satria Nugraha, has a lot of solid content. Because English is a second language to the writers, it takes a little more effort to read the posts. Because Yunike and Satria are full-time bloggers who make a living doing what they write about, it’s worth the effort. Be sure to pay particular attention to their posts on making money online.
Daily Blog Tips – A blogger and web developer since 2005, Daniel Scocco is the founder and writer of Daily Blog Tips, a great resource for anyone looking to make a living through their blog. Looking to get started with affiliate links on your site? Check out 15 Affiliate Marketing Questions Answered. DBT offers some outstanding content from guest bloggers, like Henri Junttila and Amit Banerjee as well.

WOW! I am shocked and humbled to be listed with the likes of those you put me with! Thank you so much for the kind words (and yes I am a serial entrepreneur!)It is a true honor to be listed next to names like Darren, Brian and Daniel!
I only discovered your site a couple of months ago, and have enjoyed reading and commenting here.
Two you listed I don’t read (yet) are Weblog Tools and Blogic Think, headed off to check them out now.
Thanks again Matthew, and your site is one I consider an authority on the topics I read here!
Great tips, thank you so much! I like this blog and I’ll be sure to check up on it more often :)
Thanks for the list. I had 50% in my RSS feed already. I’ll add the three missing blogs to my feed reader and see how it goes. By the way you forgot to mention Blogtrepreneur!
Three other blogs I enjoy following are Entrepreneurs-Journey, Quick Sprout, and the Smart Passive Income Blog.
Hey ! Thanks for listing my blog here. I have already subscribed to all of them and I love reading DailyBlogTips and CopyBlogger.
Thanks for the shoutout Matthew!
I’ve never heard of BlogicThink so thanks for that one. I have a huge guest post coming up at Daily Blog Tips in march which I think you will like. It’s about article marketing and how it’s not dead yet.
I’m trying to think of a blog that I can add to this list but I’m drawing blanks, so I’ll just leave it there.
Cheers!
Nice list. I knew about most of them but not all. I will definitely check the other blogs out.
there is also Yaro’s http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/
Great list and in the correct order if you ask me. I am subscribed to all of them.
Thank you so much for mentioned us on this list. This post will be motivation for us to continue provide the best for blogicthink readers. Other blogs is on our references list on regular basis, including Blogtrepreneur.com.
We also continue to improve our English skill and fix language issue (it’s becomes our vital weakness).We still committed to continuously learning, and will not be easily satisfied with knowledge and results we achieved today. This is really an honor for us.
Thank you very much Matthew.
I recently discovered createasuccessfulblog.com – it seems pretty good as well
Good list. I’ve been reading copy blogger ever since. I learned some of these blogs and I will be adding it in my list.
Im sure TylerCruz and JohnCow can be added to this list too. Started some more blogs lately so definitely a good resource for me.
A word to the wise ain’t necessary – it’s the stupid ones that need the advice.
