Top 20 Content Marketing Blogs You Should Read Every Day
What are the top content marketing blogs you read every day?
This is a question I get asked all the time.
It’s not easy to stay on top of the latest news and updates in content marketing. Smart marketers and business leaders follow the latest content marketing trends, tips, tricks, and hacks by reading the top content marketing blogs every day.
Why? Because companies that blog see 6 times the revenue vs. companies that don’t. Businesses that create consistent weekly content have 2-6 times more leads. Our clients see an average of 138% year-over-year growth in traffic and leads and a 7x Content Marketing ROI.
So that’s why we’re curating the latest in content marketing from the best content marketing blogs. While there is a long list of blogs and media sites I browse, a bunch of great B2B Marketing blog sites, and many, many more sites I could mention, this is my go-to list of top content marketing blogs I read every day. And you should too!
The list spans across everything from online publishers, to marketing technology tools, to non-profit associations, to startup founder blogs, to other digital marketing agencies, to research organizations, and to independent content marketing consultants.
I’ve also listed some of the top articles for each site, according to one of my favorite content marketing tools to give you a flavor for what they publish.
