There are many Business blogs on the Internet.

Some of the most established, reputable business blogs have been around for more than a decade, since the early days of blogging. Other great business blogs have skyrocketed to fame within the past couple of years.

You can find business blogs that cover everything from how to start a business to extremely niche blogs that are focused around serving very specific topics like small business financing or B2B sales tactics.

On these business blogs, you’ll find case studies of successful tactics, as well as founder essays about the lessons learned from painful failures. You’ll see content that’s designed to educate and attract new leads for a product or service, and you’ll run into theoretical, philosophical and academic questions about the world of business.

To help you sort through all the noise, we’re sharing our picks for the 100 best business blogs out there today. They cover a wide range of topics, so we’ve broken them into seven major categories:

• Starting Up
• Sales
• People
• Marketing
• Growth
• Freelancing
• Finance

Of course, many of these business blogs don’t fit squarely into just one category. However, we’ve placed each of them into the category that most reflects its content.

The Best Business Blogs on Starting Up

1. Small Business Administration

The U.S. Small Business Administration was set up by Congress in 1953 to “aid, counsel, assist and protect … the interests of small business concerns.” Since then, they’ve grown significantly and provide a wide range of programs to encourage small enterprise. The website has a large quantity of information on virtually every aspect of operating a small business, as well as details on funding options and requirements for becoming a government contractor.

Their business blog is actually relatively hidden on the site—there’s simply so much information provided that crowds it out. Most recent posts provide advice for small to medium businesses on topics like financial tips for starting a business from home, training your first employees, and the biggest Marketing mistakes new entrepreneurs tend to make.

2. SCORE

Backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and supported by a network of 10,000 volunteer business mentors, SCORE delivers low-cost and free consulting services to entrepreneurs who need help growing their businesses or navigating uncharted territory. Their business blog features hundreds of resources covering a wide-range of topics applicable to starting up, including advice and contributions from entrepreneurs like Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran.

3. Derek Sivers’ Blog

Derek Sivers’ blog uses one of the simplest layouts on the net—on purpose. Derek has had a varied career, which includes time as a musician, producer, circus performer, entrepreneur, TED speaker, and book publisher. He uses his blog, which is more than just a business blog, to demonstrate his fascination with the psychology of self-improvement, business, philosophy, and culture.

Derek often uses his posts to ponder topics at the intersection of work and life. For example, in his essay, Don’t start a business until people are asking you to, he wonders why people try to start a business too early: “I meet a lot of people who want to start a business. Some don’t have an idea yet. I don’t understand this. It’s like wanting to wear a bandage when you don’t have a wound.”

Known for his generosity with his time, Derek often shares tips and feedback to those who reach out to him. And in a recent piece of advice Derek shared with me on the topic of the biggest mistake new entrepreneurs make, he professed, “Start now. For an idea to get big, it has to be useful—and being useful doesn’t need funding. If you want to be useful, you can always start right now with just 1% of what you have in your grand vision. It’ll be a humble prototype of your grand vision, but you’ll be in the game.”

4. WPBeginner

They split their blog into two types of posts. Like all business blogs, they publish regular articles on various topics relating to building an online business. However, more unusually, they also publish a monthly issue of their new online magazine, called Tradecraft. Each issue focuses on a theme and contains articles related to that theme.

Of course, the core thesis being that any business in its formative stages will grow immeasurably if its owners improve on these aspects of their personal lives, too.

In his worst moments, James became horribly depressed, but upon hitting rock bottom, realized that his successes in life only happened when he choose to invest in himself.
