Here’s my take on some of the best marketing and communication blogs out there. From traditional marketing to social media marketing to how to write better copy, I’m constantly learning new ways to improve my craft. Who do you read?

Here’s my list of top 10 marketing and communication blogs:

Marketing Profs – Many of the marketing world’s greatest minds share their insights here.
HubSpot – Excellent and helpful tips on how to do inbound marketing the right way.
Danny Brown’s Social Media Marketing Blog – Danny has something for everyone, from employee to CEO. You will find useful and practical advice on how to use social media to improve your business.
Social Media Examiner – If you want to know what’s new in social media and how to use it, this is the blog for you.
SuzeMuse – I just discovered SuzeMuse and I’m so glad I did. Through personal stories that many of us can relate to, she presents solutions in a no-nonsense manner.
Caroline Kealey’s Results Map Blog – A thoughtful look at how to become a better strategic communicator.
Translucid Communications – Bob is a pioneer in social media. His musings are entertaining and enlightening and I love his perspective on the industry.
Jeff Goins – All about how to be a better writer.
TentBlogger – Primarily about how to become a full-time blogger, but I love the tech tips he shares.
Copyblogger – Great ideas for writing better copy.

    Hi Robert,

    Glad this was helpful! I’m not sure about Pinterest, but Guy Kawasaki https://plus.google.com/+GuyKawasaki/posts talks a lot of Google+. I’m sure you’d find his stuff useful.

    Cheers!

    Lydia- it is funny how you can write a super simple post that ends up being so valuable.  Clearly a lot of people type “good communications blogs” looking for what you put together because it brought me straight here. I have had a lot of trouble finding good blogs that talk communications- this is a good list- thanks for curating- a great service.

    Hi there Lydia,

    Thanks for the kind inclusion, especially since it’s alongside so many folks I really respect, and some I’m fortunate enough to call friend.

    And completely agree with @pgant:disqus - @SuzeMuse:twitter is good people and wicked smart too. :)

    Have a great weekend!

    Thanks Patrick! Sue has some really great posts. I can’t wait to read some of her “older” stuff (ie. 3-4 weeks ago) now that I’ve found her.

    If you have any other great blogs to recommend, I’m always looking to expand my list.

    Great list. Lots of familiar names on there, including my good friend Sue…who is more than just a smart cookie. She’s also a rather fabulous person. :) Thanks for sharing this, Lydia.
