    I have benefited from so many of these great resources! Another I’ve loved is ThinkTraffic.net and Copyblogger.com.

    I take blogging pretty seriously, so I really appreciated having such great resources to understand both the “big picture” of what blogging can do but also the small intricacies of the process of blogging. Thanks for posting, I know your readers will benefit as well!

      Oh yes, I’ve heard of both of those sites but I need to check them out. Thanks for sharing. I take blogging pretty seriously too (even if I throw in some humor). I’m glad these sites were helpful.

    Excellent resources indeed. I think I have a man-crush on Pat Flynn. Every time I feel tired and lazy, I head on over to SPI and it get’s me back in the mood to start working again.
