The 100 Best Tech & Marketing Blogs You Should Be Following

The 100 Best Blogs

I have always wanted to create a list of blogs that I love to read, share and link to because I think it’d be nice to see them in a listicle rather than just adding them to Feedly (my favorite RSS reader). Moreover, I didn’t want to add tons of blogs to my RSS reader as I hate to see hundreds of unread items.

And hey, you should also have a list of your favorite blogs. You know why? Because if you are a blogger, or marketer, or whatever you are supposed to stay updated about what’s happening in your industry. The idea is to stay focused all the time.

By the way, you DO NOT have to follow hundreds of blogs in your niche. Just a dozen of them is pretty enough. Because you will see yourself landing on more and more related blogs and blog posts as you go.

For instance, it’s been a month since I checked my Feedly feeds and now it’s got over 600 unread items (and counting). The problem is I was reading less and less all these days and weeks as I already had enough research stuff in my Evernote and saved for later articles in my Pocket.

And yet, I was landing on a lot of interesting blogs and blog posts and whatnot. In fact, that’s what inspired me to write this very blog post.

The Fantastic Hundred Tech & Marketing Blogs

I know you have already seen a gazillion “best blogs” listicles. While I agree that those listicles do have a lot of useful blogs in them, the problem is most of those lists are predictable. That’s not all. A good percentage of those listicles are listing the “popular” blogs and not necessarily the “best”. There’s a difference. Don’t you think?

It’s worth to mention that I have cherry-picked the following blogs based on its quality and not because of its popularity or blogging frequency. And that’s why I haven’t listed some of the most popular blogs like ProBlogger, Lifehacker, Lifehack, HuffPost, Forbes, Inc., etc. even though most of the best blogs listicles has them.

I have hand-picked blogs from the tech, marketing, productivity, inspiration, and personal finance space as that’s what my own blog is all about (or else the list would have been endless).

Closing Thoughts

You don’t have to read hundreds of blogs in your niche. Remember, Quality > Quantity when it comes to publishing. The same is true for reading as well.

You better read only the blogs that never fails to educate and inspire you. When it comes to reading, I just follow one basic rule. I won’t subscribe to a blog if I believe that it’s not a better blog than mine. I mean, you will know when you stumble upon a new blog.

Look in the mirror, that’s your competition!

Likewise, go compete with better quality blogs than yours or you won’t be able to improve the quality of your thoughts and writing. So if you love the writing style of a blogger then you got to follow his/her blog even if it’s not popular.

Finally, there’s a very good chance that I might have missed your favorite blog. If you think I must add a blog (it can be your own blog too!) to this list then let me know as a comment below and I will surely consider it.

Happy Reading, Writing, Sharing! 🙂
