Reading Roundup: What’s New in Blogging Lately? Posted: 26 Aug 2016 07:00 AM PDT There’s a buzz of excitement here as PBEvent 2016 gets ever closer! I am obsessively going over my slides, information is being emailed, awesome competitions to win cool blogging stuff are being run, and there’s tons of chatter and getting-to-know-yous in the Facebook group for attendees – bring on the 9th and 10th of September! (and that’s not just because I’m dying to get out of the Melbourne chill and into some beachy sunshine). How Lesser-Known Models Navigate Instagram and Snapchat | Racked Not everyone can be at the top of the game, but you can still be successful as a mid-range influencer, blogger or online creative. The numbers pressure is still there, but you can make it work for you. 6 Website Design Tips that Will Have Your Audience Licking Their Screens | Copyblogger That title will make much more sense when you read the article! But the truth is, design plays a huge part in how your audience will receive your stuff. Are you happy with how your site looks right now? From Podcast Host to Full-Blown Personal Brand Entrepreneur, with Colin Gray | Chris Ducker on YoupreneurFM Colin Gray talks to Chris Ducker about how he's developed his podcast into a long-standing business based around his personal brand (and how you can too!). Colin has written some great posts here on ProBlogger recently, if you missed them: If You’re Seeking Fans, its Time to Podcast! Here’s Why Why Snapchat Builds a Killer Loyal Audience How to be a Smart Breaking-News Consumer on Social Media | OnMilwaukee This is so important – in the rush to retweet or share something pertinent with your audience, you might be getting it so, so wrong. It’s so easy to publish fake news and images these days. Make sure you don’t get fooled! There can also be huge ramifications for sharing incorrect information. How a GIF of Aly Raisman’s Floor Routine Got Me Permanently Banned from Twitter | Jim Weber And this too! The consequences for sharing content that doesn’t belong to you – even if everyone else is doing it – can throw a spanner in the works (and if you’re really unfortunate, cost you a lot of money). How to Start a Food Blog and Change the World | The Blog Tyrant It’s one of the fastest-growing niches, and one that can be quite lucrative. This is a pretty hefty post! There’s plenty of “start a blog” posts about (we have a super-thorough one here, which is packed with resources), but if you’re looking for one with a particular foodie bent, then you’ll find some extras on Ramsay’s post. 5 Years of Business Firsts | Jon Loomer Jon takes us back through the early days of his blog, the mistakes he’s made, and the tips he used to grow into the Facebook expert hub it is today. We all have wobbly early years! Don’t let that keep you from trying. What Twitter’s New Quality Filter Actually Does | Edgar I’m excited about this! As are (I assume) the perennially trolled. The Secret Sauce to Shareable Visual Content Your Audience Will Devour | Socially Sorted Once again Donna nails it with her epic visual social content knowledge! She really knows her stuff. Marketing in Four Steps | Seth Godin You may as well hear it from him if you’re resistant to the message that you have to show up and do the work. Consistently. There is no easy money, not even online. What’s caught your eye this week? The post Reading Roundup: What’s New in Blogging Lately? appeared first on ProBlogger.

Below you will find a list of blogs that every startup founder or entrepreneur should read regularly. Enjoy. 1.

Ben Horowitz Blog Ben is a seasoned technology entrepreneur turned venture capitalist. He co-founded Opsware, which was acquired by HP. More recently he started a venture capital firm with Marc Andreessen, called Andreessen Horowitz. Curious fact: Ben is a fan of rap music, and he starts most of his posts with rap lyrics! 3. Quicksprout Pretty much every business has a digital component these days. That is why you need to know about digital marketing, which includes SEO (Search Engine Optimization), email marketing, content marketing and so on. There is no one better to teach you about that than Neil Patel. His posts are always value-packed and straight to the point. 4. Fred Wilson – A VC Fred Wilson has been playing the venture capital game for a long time. According to his website, he started in 1986! Was it even called venture capital back then?
