3 Must Read Blogs for Every Aspiring Internet Marketer

First a disclaimer: this list is by no means “all inclusive”. I personally subscribe to over 80 blog feeds in the online marketing/money making genre. There is a treasure of valuable information being shared on all of them.
I don’t want to publish posts full of links without comments, so there will be future similar postings here that highlight blogs from my reading list. For today I wanted to highlight 3 from my daily reading list that I think should be required reading for every aspiring Internet Marketer or person hoping to make money from their web site or blog.
This listing is in no particular order:
I was first exposed to Caroline this past summer as I followed along with the Thirty Day Challenge (a training competition of sorts where experienced IM’s gave free advice and lessons to aspiring marketers that focused on using free Web 2.0 platforms and techniques to start earning money super fast). It seemed Caroline was forever buzzing around the challenge forum, asking questions, digesting everything and eventually offering answers to others as well. She was hungry and it showed.
I’ve been following her blog where she’s documenting her efforts and discoveries since August and it really is fast becoming a fantastic and solid resource for online marketers. So much so that she’s recently been getting some serious exposure on other blogs and even doing interviews now.
The thing I like most about Caroline’s blog is that not only does she share useful tools and techniques along with her personal experiences, but she does it in an inspiring manner. Reading her blog you can’t help but feel that she’s sometimes writing from the “kid in a candy store” perspective due to the tone of wonder and discovery.
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been following Mark’s blog. I mentioned it here just a few days ago when I linked to one of Mark’s postings and that was sort of the inspiration for this posting today.
While he can sometimes be rough around the edges (one loud “you won’t make money” posting comes to mind), and he prefers to video blog rather than type which is a thorn to me since I like to print postings off my daily reading list and browse them while on the go through the day, the truth is he may shoot from the hip but what he’s saying is worth hearing (sometimes twice).
Mark has also been kind enough to share some great tools from his blog, off the top of my head I recall a mashup script for niche mini-site builders that allows you to put up a site on any topic which would include YouTube video, along with dynamic eBay and Amazon affiliate product displays in just a couple minutes.
Navigating to older posts on Mark’s blog isn’t easy (what’s up with that?), but there’s a ton of valuable stuff there that makes it worth digging around for.
If you haven’t added Yaro’s blog to your reading list yet, run now and do it! Seriously, you’ll find a little bit of everything of interest to an aspiring Internet Marketer or Online Money Maker and it’ll be offered with clarity and insights that can make a seasoned IM’er think “duh, I should be doing that already” to him or herself.
If it seems like I’m slighting Yaro with brief comments here, that’s only because there’s really nothing more to say other than its a near-perfect resource and you must include this blog on your reading list… or else!
Actually, I think if you plan to make money from your web site or blog–or even if you’re already doing so but want to earn more–you should include all 3 of these blogs on your daily reading lists.

thanks for the great post and it’s great to be in such good company with caroline and yaro.
I’m for sure more of a video guy than a typing guy although it didn’t start that way.
you got two typers and one videoer on the list, a good balance eh? lol

O’Bannon, Lad I was right with for some time now.
Supporting from the periphery
Especially promising when you recognize integrity like Caroline and Yaro’s.
Then, you mentioned 45n5.
Well, best wishes going forward anyway.
