20 Little-Known Marketing Blogs You Should Be Reading

 

By David Jackson in Featured

When it comes to marketing blogs, we all know what the “authority” blogs are, right? After all, they’re hugely popular and many of us follow those blogs faithfully. Blogs like ProBlogger, DailyBlogTips, SearchEngineJournal, ShoeMoney, CopyBlogger, just to name a few. You know, the usual suspects.
But there are many other outstanding marketing blogs flying under the radar, whose marketing content is just as impressive, but perhaps not quite as well known to the average online marketer. I call these “the unusual suspects.” And since they may not be quite as well known, chances are, you probably aren’t familiar with them.
