I’m surprised it has taken me over a year to put together a post like this, since I love reading them on other blogs. Often, I’m already aware of many of the suggested reading material and products, which may be the case for you here. However, if I just discover one great book, product, or resource from them, then reading the article is invaluable.
Everything here is a genuine recommendation, meaning that I actually read all of the blogs, have read all of the books, and use all of the products. I would love to make this a community discussion as well, so please feel free to share your favourite resources in the comments below.
18 Blogs
While they of course aren’t the only blogs I read, I make sure I devour pretty much every post of the following blogs I mention. I have a few favourites from the list, but they’re all great in my opinion. I’ve listed them below (in alphabetical order):
I don’t have to say much about this site because pretty much everyone has heard of it. Though I don’t find a lot of posts which are relevant to me, I’ve picked up so many gems from Copyblogger that I just have to recommend it.
Many people have compared ViperChill to DoshDosh, as the author, Maki, is also known for writing long posts in the marketing niche. Sadly, the site hasn’t been updated for over a year, but there are a lot of great articles to read in the archives.
Authored by my friend Everett Bogue, this blog features a mix of business advice, minimalism, and personal development. Everett finds a unique way to tie the three in all of his articles, making a great combination.
I wish Jade would post more often, but when she does, there’s usually some excellent content on offer. In fact, Jade has just started one of the first ever blogging magazines, with hers focusing on marketing. Definitely one to watch.
This is written by Michael Dunlop, who is the same age as me and is also from England. Michael writes some of the most viral posts in this industry and is also the man behind one of my favourite WordPress plugins.
Though I think I’m the only marketer in the world who can’t get on Naomi’s radar, I can’t doubt that I love her blog. I came across Naomi through Copyblogger and I love her unique, NSFW (not safe for work) approach to writing about marketing.
Adam Baker was one of the first people I made a solid connection with online when running my personal development blog. I’ve followed his website for two years now and I’m a huge fan of his monthly income reports.
I don’t have to say much about Darren Rowse’s site Problogger, since I’m sure 99% of you know it anyway. To put it simply: Problogger is the most authoritative website online when it comes to blogging advice.
I’ve been in contact with Neil Patel on and off for about four years now, after we crossed paths in the social media space. I used to be a huge fan of his old blog, Pronet Advertising, and now follow Quicksprout. Neil is a young millionaire who has a lot of business advice on offer.
When anyone burts onto the marketing and personal development scene, I always take note. When I watched the growth of Karol Gadja’s site, I really wasn’t surprised by his success. Another blog to keep an eye on.
Aaron Wall is probably the no.1 SEO authority in the world. He was the author of the highly successful SEO Book (ebook), and now runs a very popular membership site.
When I was younger I had a dream that I was on the bus home from college and met the entire SEOmoz team. Strange, I know. Anyways, hopefully that shows how much I was devouring their blog at the time and still am today. Surprisingly, my guest post there was actually their 9th most popular article for 2010.
Seth Godin is a marketing genius. He’s authored some of my favourite books including Purple Cow, Linchpin and Tribes. If you love his books, then you’ll love his blog just as much. Every post makes you rethink your ways, and I love that.
Only a small number of posts on this site are actually relevant to me, but the ones that are usually leave me with some incredible insights. Jeremy became famous after making over $120,000 in a single month with Google Adsense, and is a very successful affiliate marketer.
I speak to Pat more than any other blogger online, and his work ethic and ideas continually blow me away. The audience he has managed to build (16,000 subscribers) is a great testament to the quality of information he puts out to the world.
Tamar is one of the most influential people in the social media marketing space, having written a book on the very topic. She’s also been involved in some of the biggest blogs online, including Mashable and Lifehacker.
Another friend from the personal development space, Corbett Barr, recently started his marketing blog, Think Traffic. It has achieved some quick success with a solid following, and is definitely one to watch.
Though I may find this site far more interesting because the author is one of my best friends, Diggy has built up quite a substantial audience so I’m definitely not his only fan. If you’re interested in any aspect of personal development, then you should definitely check this site out.
12 Books
Awaken the Giant Within (by Tony Robbins)
At well over 400 pages, this isn’t a short book, but it contains very little fluff. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of personal development, and while this is probably one of the most “generic” books out there in what it covers, the content is amazing.
Delivering Happiness (by Tony Hsieh)
My most recent purchase, Delivering Happiness is a great look into the business world from the founder of Link Exchange (which sold for $265m to Microsoft) and CEO of Zappos, which was recently purchased for $1bn by Amazon.
Do You! (by Russell Simmons)
This is the book I read the longest time ago, but I still remember many of the lessons it contained to this day. Russell Simmons was the man behind Run DMC and also the $300m clothing line, Phat Farm. He shares 11 business lessons he lives by, in fascinating form.
Drive (by Daniel Pink)
Do you think that if I gave someone a raise there’s a good chance they’ll do better work for me? There isn’t. At least, that’s the conclusion you’ll come to after reading Drive. Featuring dozens of examples, Pink looks at what really drives people to be productive in the workplace.
Linchpin (by Seth Godin)
There’s no more space in the business world for companies who try to be the cheapest. There’s also no space for employees who are simply mediocre. Linchpin shows you how to leverage your talents so you can become indispensable to not only your boss, but the world.
Made to Stick (by Chip and Dan Heath)
Chip and Dan Heath, authors of another book I love, Switch, set out to find if there was any correlation between ideas which spread and ideas which don’t. Well, they found seven of them, and use hundreds of examples to help you create a message which captures minds and ships products.
Psycho Cybernetics (by Maxwell Maltz)
The book that really got me into the field of personal development, Psycho Cybernetics is a mind-blowing account of what we can achieve with our minds. Though it was written over 30 years ago, the lessons it shares are still very relevant today.
Purple Cow (by Seth Godin)
To stand out in this day and age, you need to be remarkable. That’s the message Seth puts out in his book Purple Cow, and I completely agree with him. This is one book I could read over and over again.
Rework (by Jason Friend and Davin Hansson)
I’m a huge fan of 37Signals, the blog by the creators of the programming framework Ruby on Rails, and founders of such web properties as Tadalist and Basecamp. With just a small team who never meet in person, this book goes against the standard advice in the business world, and shows how the company makes millions of dollars per year.
The Power of Now (by Eckhart Tolle)
If you’ve ever wanted to read more about spirituality but don’t think it’s for you or just don’t quite get it, then definitely pick up this book. Practicing what is contained in this book has made me look at the world in a totally different way.
Tribes (by Seth Godin)
If you want to grow an audience online, it’s important to learn the qualities of a leader. Tribes looks at how you can lead a group of people (your tribe) and accomplish great things.
Who Moved My Cheese? (by Dr Spencer Johnson)
A short book with a powerful lesson, Who Moved My Cheese is something I had been meaning to read for a while. I eventually got around to it, and I’m glad I did. It looks at four mice, who each have different personalities, and looks at how they interactive, survive, and thrive in the world, based on their actions.

Disclosure: I created and own affiliateSkin. I made this tool because I wasn’t happy with what is out there for quickly and easily creating affiliate sites. I can now create a site that is SEO friendly, cloaked links, a contact form, and a unique design, in just a few minutes. I use (and love it) so I decided to share it with the world.
Aweber (affiliate link)
You’ll hear time and time again that “the money is in the list” when dealing with affiliate marketers. That’s because it’s true. I get far higher conversions on email broadcasts than any other form of selling that I do. If you run small affilaite sites, it’s also very helpful when giving away free products or just collecting emails to promote to later.
Bookmarking Demon (affiliate link)
I’ve used this tool for about three years, and it has made me well over $15,000 in that time. That’s just counting the sites where I only ranked highly in Google because of Bookmarking Demon. The links it builds are actually of very poor quality, but they still help me rank time and time again.
For $5 a month, this is both the cheapest and the most valuable resource that I use. It allows me to automate the process of selling digital products online, and has not let me down once in the three years that I’ve used it. If you want to sell products and have peace of mind that your system is in the right hands, then give eJunkie a try.
GetClicky (affiliate link)
While this isn’t so much a product, I do pay for this service, so it deserves to be mentioned here. I’ve pretty much stopped using Google Analytics because of Get Clicky, as it offers real-time analytics for my websites. There is a free version which is awesome, but the added features of a premium account ($60 per year) are worth every penny.
Due to the barrage of people who ask me about this tool, I finally decided to purchase it last week. Though I have seen videos of MS in action before, I was blown away when using it. If you’re researching industries, especially for SEO, then the competition research this tool provides is invaluable.
SPBAS is not only the most expensive product I use, but also the one I hear others talk about the least. I use it to power the backend of affiliateSkin, which handles the payment processing and the licensing system. This means that you can sell software and reduce the risk of people pirating your offering.
Now that I’ve shared the resources I use, I would love to hear about yours in the comments!

I reached my bandwidth cap (gotta love SA internet) so had to publish this on my iPhone. I wont be able to reply to comments until later today. Enjoy!
Well done compilation Glen!
Doshdosh has been an all time favorite of mine, maybe even before copyblogger or problogger. And as for the books, I guess I can survive as long as I’m provided with my life sustenance of Seth Godin’s works
Thanks Liane
It’s always interesting when someone wildly successful reveals a little something about their own likes and interests.
Thanks for the read Glen, I’ll check these out and see how great they are first-hand! Take care
No problem Stuart,
Thanks for the comment.
This is awesome Glen and definitely what I’ve been looking for.
I have always wanted to know which books you’re reading and I’m happy to finally know them now. I’m also subscribed to all the above blogs and there’s definitely a lot to learn from them.
Keep up the great work!
-Onibalusi
All of them? That will keep you busy
Thanks Oni!
Sure. But what makes it easy is that some publish very few posts once in a while so I’m able to catch up. I’m also super fast so reading them doesn’t take me much time…taking action sometimes does
That’s true
Excellent list Glen. There are a few I do recognise but if the ones I don’t are of the same quality then this is going to be invaluable!
I’ve been planning to put up a resources page on my new creativity/personal development blog but I like the idea of doing it as a post instead as it’s more likely to be read.
Hey Milo,
I’m glad there’s a few more to add to your collect. I’m also working on a resources page for this site as well, but I like the post idea.
Hey Glen,
Great list of resources! Glad to see I’ve been reading most of the sites that you have listed and some of those products have been great too (love Market Samurai). I am missing out on the books, so better get stuck into those too. I’ve really been liking the content over at blogtyrant.com lately, pretty new, but great online marketing content (especially for newer bloggers).
Thanks again.
Thanks Shaun,
Yeah, BT is a great guy. As mentioned, I do read a few extra blogs now and then, but the above sites are the ones I subscribe to.
An awesome list Glen! Just wondering why DoshDosh haven’t been updated for a year now. You have any ideas?
Maki is really busy with school at the moment.
Hey buddy,
Great post and thanks for the link to Upgradereality:)
What’s this about the whole lawyer thing, I’ll call you soon!
Keep well!
Anytime Diggy!
Hey Glen,
Awesome collections Glen and Thanks for sharing with us…..Thumbs up and Thanks for being an inspiration to me and making me have hunger for success online, This will help me alot..
Thanks alot
You’re welcome Baba,
Thanks for your comment.
Many of my favorites are here as well, but I have a couple to share. For blogs, I love http://makeuseof.com, because I find fantastic tools on it every week. For books, Influence by Robert Cialdini. And for products, the Headway theme framework (which offers loads of functionality internet marketers love): http://headwaythemes.com
Hey Michael,
Great to see you here! Thanks for the additions (there should be some disclosure on that Headway recommendation
)
These are all awesome recommendations, Thanks
I’ve been through the blogs, and they are killer. Dosh Dosh is probably one of the sites I spent all my time in my beginning internet marketing months, there’s tons of powerful content like Viperchill.
The books are definitely really interesting, Do you! is the only one I haven’t read.
I do have a small question. Why should I use Aweber instead of Mailchimp? I’ve been debating whether I should change it or not.
Thanks for sharing this post,
Wilson
I like Aweber’s integration with other software that I use regularly, and I am just so used to their interface now.
Great Post. These are awesome blogs and products.
My Favorite blogs are Viper Chill, Smart Passive Income and Traffic Generation Cafe.
Anyways, Thanks for sharing this awesome list.
Thanks Devesh!
These are somewhat of the same blogs many people are talking about these days..people love these blogs because they are original and are given people value..the key to blogging..
“Black Seo Guy “Signing Off”
There was some cool info in Drive (although most of it was from Dan Ariely in the first half!) but if anybody is considering buying it, don’t make the mistake I made and get the audio version. Dan Pink is a good writer, but he has a voice that is more suited to guided hypnosis than audio book reading.
Haha. Noted!
Good to see you here, Tim.
Thanks for the insights. I knew of about half those sites but you gave me good reading material with the other half. Now, just to find the time! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome Jeff.
Favorite blogs on the list:
SPI, MvD, Copyblogger…used to read Quicksprout but found myself less and less interested so I took it off my RSS reader.
Favorite books on the list:
Rework and linchpin.
Favorite Tools:
Aweber, and a million times Market Samurai. I’ve never had to do keyword research the old way and I hope I never do. Hopefully I’ll need affilateSkin when I implement the next phase of my plan to Build My Internet Empire.
Are there any sites you love that I missed?
Great list Glen! Totally agree with your blog list. I would definitely add Mixergy in there – that site is a gold mine for great entrepreneurial interviews. Books – I’m a bit biased on this one by I’d go with The Game by Neil Strauss. Products – looks like you have all of that covered.
Hey Tony,
I do browse Mixergy now and then. The problem is that my interenet here in South Africa has a tiny cap (5GB) so I can’t spend it watching videos.
Sweet as always ……. amazing list of resources I will have to check out
Thank you Usman. Also, thanks for your contributions on the Cloud Living HQ backend.
Glen,
You should check out this list of personal development books…
http://www.ryanwhiteside.com/personal-development-books.html
…if you want some more book ideas to read.
Solid list, Glen. Hope all is well.
All is good here Marc, thanks!
Tony Ryan:
Thanks for the compliment.
And in a few days, you’ll see Neil Strauss on Mixergy too.
Impressive scoop, Andrew
Glen,
You want keen insights? You must pick up Malcolm Gladwell’s “Outliers: The Story of Success,” “The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference,” and “Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.” If you are not impressed with these (3) books, I will find something to buy from you (Pat Flynn can vouch for me).
And I’m getting ready to read “The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything,” by Sir Ken Robinson (I saw him on TedTV. You should watch this video).
I wouldn’t mind seeing your thoughts on these books you read and how they impacted your life for change.
Hi Leon,
Funnily, I have read Outliers. While it offered some interesting insights, it didn’t blow me away or give me advice I could apply to my own endeavours like the other books I hav ementioned.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Great resources. I already started reading Sphinn on an earlier suggestion you made. I got to hang out with Shoemoney last week after winning his affiliate summit contest which was cool too. And Psycho Cybernetics kicks ass!
That’s awesome Vinay, congrats!
I would add OnlyWire. Similar to Bookmarking Demon (sorta) but FREE up to a certain limit.
For books, I would add Advertising Secrets of the Written Word. It’s old but essential reading for writing good copy that sells.
Great list!
Thanks for the suggestion. I would love to check that one out
Nice list, and I definitely share some of the resources !
Curses!!! Now I’m going to go broke!! Thanx for awesome list!
Haha
I did a similar post at the end of the year. I usually do these for each year. Thanks for the info. I know about Problogger and CopyBlogger but not much about the others. Will have to check them out.
I heard about Shoemoney, but thought it was one of those spammy websites that try to get you do something.
Hah, your last sentence is funny. You’ll hopefully see why in the near future.
There are some posts which wont be relevant to you, but the “good” posts there are often great.
Glenn,
This is my first comment or post about anything you offer……and let me start by saying that you are individually responsible for getting me interested in the blogging and online marketing world. I somewhere, somehow tripped upon your name not too long ago…….and have since read everything I could that you have written about…..and I am considering purchasing “cloud living”. Keep the great info coming…..I look forward to the inspiration.
Hey Curt,
I really appreciate you taking the time out to leave this comment. Best of luck with your endeavours!
Oh damn, you rock Glen, thank you for including me among this awesome group.
No problem, Karol.
Great list Glen
I like most of the S.Godin books too. On a similar train of thought (to Tribes at least) another good book is ‘Coolhunting: Chasing Down the Next Big Thing’ by Peter Gloor out in MIT. Applies swarm creativity to business techniques (e.g. leveraging open source communities).
A powerful and inspirational book I enjoyed last year was Robert Greenes ‘The 50th Law’ where he analyzed 50 Cents personal strengths & business strategies which he transferred from street dealing to the music biz. An inspirational, though-provoking read about how to be competitive in business. (you don’t need to be a 50c fan to enjoy it neither – I only got it because of Rob Greenes other great book ’48 Laws of Power’).
R
Hey Rudy,
Thanks!
I didn’t know that was written about 50 Cent. I’ll have to add it to my wishlist.
Glen, I loved “Drive” by Pink, and although I haven’t read Tony Robbins’ “Awaken,” I did read “Unlimited Power” and it changed my entire life 5 years ago. My whole worldview changed.
Good list, sir!
I can definitely see how that would happen
Thanks for the comment, Bryan.
Nice list! I will have to check out some of those blogs one of these days. I really like ittybiz as well.
Crush It is a book that really gives me an amazing pick me up now and then…
Thanks. I did like the attitude behind Crush It, which is inspriring, but didn’t like the content too much.
Brilliant list Glen
I stopped when I got to SEOMoz – brought back a few memories.
Most of what I know about SEO came from reading Rand Fishkins articles and his free downloads.
Now that you’ve reminded me I might start watching Whiteboard Friday again.
Thanks for a great collection and some nice memories.
You’re welcome Keith,
I’m an SEOmoz fan from back in the day when Jane and Rebecca were the main writers.
That is a great list Glen. I read a lot of those blogs with Smart Passive Income being my favorite. Viperchill isn’t too bad either
.
One other blog that I read regularly is The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau. I have also read the AONC book which is also great. Funny thing is I actually discovered his blog through you when I read the Cloud Living ebook.
Lol. I’ll settle for “Isn’t too bad”
Thanks for sharing this Glen!
I also follow a few of the blogs that you mention, and have added the others to my blog-reading-list!
And for the books, you have given me more to consider. Because of you, I read “Psycho Cybernetics” about two weeks ago — and if somebody is reading this comment, please read it. It’ll change you. It’s an awesome book. — I will add the others to my list. Since I’m planning to read a book a week this year.
Also, this weekend I’m planning on purchasing your product, affiliateSkin. Since I have gone through your Cloud Living videos (for a second time… trying take good notes…), now it’s time to put everything I learned into action!
Thanks again Glen!
Awesome Edgar,
I look forward to working with you!
Seth’s Blog is always an interesting read. Very insightfull reading there always.
I am also using Market Samurai but also use Micro Niche Finder – both together just ’rounds’ up the research deal for me.
And now for a confession, I am not a great book reader – but since I have gotten some valuable info from some I have read, I am definitely going to give those on the list a go
Thanks for sharing the info
You’re welcome Jeremy, enjoy!
Glen, Thanks for the reading list. It’s trustworthy, because I have read about a quarter of them and you are batting a thousand on those, so what are the odds….
No problem Rick,
I hope you enjoy the recommendations.
I found the blogs which I follow (incomediary, shoemoney, problogger, smartpassiveincome) in your list except for entrepreneurs-journey. I think e-j is the most frequently updated among all which I mentioned.
Thanks
Among the tools which you mentioned, I’m confused about Marketing Samurai because I’ve seen people compare it with Traffic Travis. I have used the trial version of Traffic Travis and that also is very helpful.
And when it comes to the books, these days I’m trying to follow Marketing Management by Philip Kotler. It is an overall marketing textbook, considered by some as the bible of marketing. I’m thinking of implying what I learn from it in affiliate marketing.
Your list gives me more resources I’d say, I’ll hopefully check all of them out too.
Hey Learner,
I do stop by Yaro’s site now and then, but I’m not a subscriber. I actually can’t keep up with many more posts, but would love to follow more blogs.
Great list, Glen. Thanks. Tools I’ve enjoyed using that aren’t on the list are Amazon S3 for digital storage and I’ve bolted on S3Flowshield for clients to reduce random hot-linking of their videos and files. S3FS beefs up security for S3 bucket content.
I haven’t looked into the Amazon hosting much but I am aware of it. I’ve heard nothing but good things.
SEO Book is a very good Blog especially for beginners
These days I think the content is pretty advanced, but there are some gems on there, I agree.
Thanks for sharing your favorite Blogs
You’re welcome
You are really inspiring me Glen ….thank you very much….And can you write something about Market samurai like its pros,cons etc ..i heard a lot of good things about it ..thinking to buy…anyways take care!!
I don’t really like doing product reviews to be honest, as I wouldn’t like reading them myself. I may include something about it in a future post though
I enjoy reading this type of post because I will generally find at least a couple of blogs that interest me. It really is a shame that Maki doesn’t update DoshDosh anymore. I that blog so helpful. :/
It is a shame. I spoke to a few of his friends and they haven’t heard from him for a long time.
Hey Glen!
Thanks for sharing your faves. I’ve got some of the same faves as well. I rarely jump in with a comment here at viper chill, but I just wanted to let you know how continually impressed I am with your insight and the value that you share. You freakin’ kick-ass! Keep it up.
Hey Marlee,
I love it when you do leave a comment! Thanks
Thanks Glen
I think you need to be blogging more 
Love your stuff.
yeah i agree with Michael….Glen needs to post more regular…Excellent stuff.
Thanks Mohan
I’m working on it
awesome list, thanks Glen! will definitely be checking out some of the blogs and books you mention for sure!
Thanks Maria
Wow – A great list of stuff Glen.. Used a few of the affiliation networks but some of them I hadn’t heard of until now.
Keep up the quality posts
Thanks again
Thanks James,
I’ll do my best
As always, a very good selection of resources from Glen. Keep it up man!
Thanks Bash Bosh
No Tim Ferriss? I’m genuinely surprised (I go back and forth on the guy: I’ve personally found his business advice to be bang-on correct and at a whole new level of awesome, but the fitness stuff is another story).
Cheers,
Andrew
P.S. Also, thanks for reminding me that I need to start a list…
I thought you weren’t a fan of Awaken TGW! Haha. Cool list.
market samurai is a very good one
I’m with you with the book “Awaken the Giant Within”. I think it’s the best personal development book ever published. At least the best one I’ve ever read by a very long margin. It deals less in theory and new age fluff and more in information that gives people an opportunity to have true mastery over self.
Good to see i’m not the only one.
Dear Glen, as usual great post
I wonder why you use SPBAS for affili skin and not ejunkie?
Regards, Marc
For licensing purposes (security).
Thanks for posting this Glen, should keep me busy for a while! I’ve only read two books off the list, rework and the power of now. Rework was brilliant but I couldn’t really get in on the power of now, Eckies other book though, A new earth I thought was amazing and even though I read it a few years ago lessons from it still come to mind fairly frequently.
Outstanding List Glen!!!
No wonder you’re kicking some boo-tay!!!
I’m also a raving fan of Naomi and Psychocybernetics and Awaken the Giant Within.
For anyone who’s hasn’t read seriously since school and is new to personal development, I can’t recommend highly enough two books…
1. For Personal Development – Seven Strategies For Wealth and Happiness by Jim Rohn. This is the guy who was one of Tony Robbins earliest mentors. Tony actually worked for him and sold his taped seminars. Jim’s brilliant use of story and metaphor make what can be a woo-woo and boring subject… something you want to devour.
2. For Business – No BS Guide On Business Success by Dan Kennedy – Once again, here’s another guy influenced by Jim Rohn. Dan has remarked on how any marketer would do well to use Jim’s story telling format in the use of any of their content and Dan’s content is a shining example of this. Dan gives, like the title insinuates, a reality-based view on what you’re getting into when you strike out for yourself. The lessons to be had in this book won’t be found in University business courses even though they should.
Thanks again Glen for this list! It’s gold!
Thanks for the list of blogs. There are a few obvious ones I already read (Problogger, copyblogger, Shoemoney etc…) other I hadn’t heard of (I must say that affiliate marketing is not on my radar, don’t know if these are aff. blogs).
Re the Tools: I use getClicky, and SEMRush. Have heard a lot of good things about Market Samurai, so will probably be looking properly into it.
Re the books – e-myth revisited from M.E. Gerber is a very good book to give you ideas on how to approach your business.
Good list. I especially with your recommendation of “The Power of Now”. I read a chapter or two of this book every night to help me relax and keep me grounded. I would also add “The social Effect” (entertaining and interesting story into how Facebook evolved) from IT journalist David Kirkpatrick.
Hey Glen. I’ve been going to your blog quite a few times now, so i though it was about time i hit the subscribe button just under this post. I was wondering if you somehow could share that “box” or “widget” or whatever it is..It’s that box that says “Did you enjoy this article, with the social bookmarking icons on it
great list.. plenty of new sites for me to check out. i came across your site via Pat’s Smart Passive Income blog, by the way.
Awesome.
Enjoy the site
Thanks for the recommendations,
Such posts are always appreciated
Cheers,
Nisch
Hi,
Why don’t you use http://www.spbas.com for email marketing instead of aweber, since it’s include in the package? Anything wrong with them?
I’m asking because I’m about to choose a provider
Thanks!
Thomas,
I’ve stopped using SPBAS. I’ll never use them again
ahah okay, take them off the list I almost subscribed ;p What happened?
Glen,
WOW, what a great list.
I recognize some of the blogs but am going to check out the rest.
Always looking for great blogs to read. Just love going to blogs and learning more.
The books and products are great also.
Thanks for the lists.
Dee Ann Rice
I used to be a fan or reading. Mostly books but blogs as well. Had lost this habit of mine for a while, but I’m reading this post.. I’m again feeling up for reading some book. I’ll definitely try one of the books on the list as well the blogs.
Thanks for shareing.
Dosh Dosh appears to be gone completely now which is a real shame as it had some exceptional content on there.
