I have some favorite marketing blogs to pass on today. Some you may have seen before. Others you need to see. For all of them, please do yourself a favor and subscribe to their RSS feeds.
The sites below are very much worth tracking on a regular basis. Each is a great example of an authority site too.
Bill Myers Online: I was just looking for some teleprompter software for some videos I have to do and Bill came up in Google. I should have known to just head over to his site right away since he’s one of two video guys I trust to deliver the goods. You won’t believe the cool resources he has over there. He has to be one of the most prolific how-to video producers online.
Mike Stewart: The other video guy I trust to deliver killer information and products. I just caught up with Mike at World Internet Summit in Dallas this past week. He’s unabashedly a total audio/video geek and one of the best keyboard players I’ve ever heard. (And I’ve seen Allman Brothers in concert a few times!)
Stephen Pierce: Stephen’s DTAlpha Talkback blog is one of a kind. His method of publishing is short posts with podcast presentations on a very regular basis. (Hard to find among marketing gurus.) I also got to spend a few minutes with Stephen at World Internet Summit and watched him do one hell of a presentation. Pierce is a genuine article on the marketing scene. Another hard thing to find in this business.
Armand Morin: You guessed it, I met with Armand at WIS and realized he has a pretty regular blogging schedule now. He raised a huge sum of money for charity by leveraging his contacts (which are plentiful) as a demonstration at WIS. He’s also one of the biggest Karaoke nuts I’ve ever known next to Michel Fortin. Together they close down bars, singing into the wee hours.
Michel Fortin: Everyone has their favorite copywriting guru. I consider Michel (Mee-Shell) the Michael Jordan of copywriting. His blog is crammed with professional copywriting tips everyone should memorize. He can speak French with my Cajun wife too.
Dave Lakhani: Dave is my favorite Art of Persuasion expert. I am not sure if it is because I truly feel that way or if he made it so via NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). But I’m pretty sure I regard him highly because of his killer content, his books, and his awesome presentations. (He spoke at both of our Authority Summit marketing conferences in Vegas.)
Miguel Alvarez: Marketing Factor is his new blog, but this guy has been on the scene as a highly successful marketer for at least as long as me. He has a wildly successful hosting company and has fully embraced blogging as his mode of communication and training. He also owns Copywriting.com, which, by the domain alone, should tell you how long he’s been on the web!
