3 Great Online Resources

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Blogs. There are some brilliant people out there writing insightful blogs that are chock-full of great ideas. Here are three that will change the way you think about marketing your business. 

1. Burst Marketing Blog by Steve Banis. Steve Banis is a local guy with marketing experience coming out his ears. Having worked in high-level marketing positions for large companies and built small businesses into marketing powerhouses, the Albany Area is lucky to have him around. Passionate about marketing, Steve is shaking the foundations with his weekly blog, and providing great insights that the little guys can really benefit from. 

2. Seth’s Blog by Seth Godin. Seth Godin is just about as famous a marketer as you’ll find. Having written tons of seminal marketing books (Purple Cow, Permission Marketing, and loads of others) Seth is leading the push towards a marketing style that emphasizes genuineness, differentiation and relationship building. Consistently inspiring, unbelievably helpful, Seth’s Blog is an example for all of us. 

3. Gladwell.com by Malcolm Gladwell.  Technically not a blog, this is an archive of articles Malcolm Gladwell has written for The New Yorker. Hopefully you’re already familiar with Gladwell, but if not you may remember him from my email “Paul Revere and $100 Referrals”. Gladwell’s articles are a bit longer than your average blog entry, but the thinking and research he has done into consumer behavior are well worth the time it takes to read his articles. 

Talk to you soon.
