Top 10 must-read Business Development Blogs

Estimated reading time: 1 min

If you are in business development, it’s important to stay connected to the buzz in the marketplace.  One of the hard things is to find a single place to gather all your news sources.  Biz dev can be written about in marketing magazines,  books, industry magazines, online in blogs and forums.  It’s a disparate subject and isn’t easy to collate for easy consumption.

I find two main sources helpful – Twitter and RSS feeds.  If you aren’t using a feed reader, it is really useful because it gathers all your RSS sources into one place.  Consider trying out Google Reader or Feedly.

Today I publish the ones I read most often

  1. Fuel Lines
  2. B2B Lead Generation
  3. Social Media B2B
  4. Creative Brief
  5. RSW
  6. Alchemis New Business
  7. Blowin’ in the Tradewind
  8. Digital Body Language
  9. BL Ochman’s Blog
  10. Web Liquid

I should add that the last couple are more about internet marketing but they often give me great ideas for campaigns and articles to write for CreativeAgencySecrets.

Any more biz dev blogs I should be reading?  Send over your suggestions.

    Rebecca,
    thanks for the call-out to Digital Body Language, much appreciated, and I’m glad that you enjoyed the posts. I haven’t been called a “business development” blog much, so I’m especially glad you found it worthwhile.

    Hi Rebecca,

    I stumbled upon your page while trying to uncover more nuggets of wisdom from the web.

    Thanks for the list. That’s a great library you have given us.

    I would like to share an article I came across recently. It was written by Seth Godin and I personally feel that he laid down some very down-to-earth tips on business development.

    Here’s the link – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/09/understanding-business-development.html

    Enjoy.

    The biggest challenge for entrepreneurs from my experience is to have a pool with possible blog post ideas for their business blog. Because blogging is not a one-time task for business, you will need a starting point with ideas to ensure that your blog will be alive for a longer period of time.

    Hello! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I’m trying to get
    my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very
    good success. If you know of any please share.

    Having read this I believed it was very informative.
    I appreciate you spending some time and effort to put this content together.

    I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and commenting.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying
    your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m
    still new to the whole thing. Do you have any points for newbie blog writers?
    I’d genuinely appreciate it.

    I am really inspired along with your writing skills and also
    with the structure in your weblog. Is this a paid subject
    matter or did you customize it your self? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like
    this one today..
