CT Biz Blogs

Blogging is still a new idea to most people. And small business blogs are rare. One of the best ways to explain the benefits of small business blogs is by example; we can point to blogs by those brave, ahead-of-the-curve folks who are creating a trail for the rest of us to follow.

When I first started this blog, way back in August, 2005, I wrote about a few small business blogs. But it sure takes a lot of time to find them, and now, my problems are over.

For the past month, I’ve been subscribed via RSS, to Pajama Market Small Business Blog of the Day. Brian Brown has made it his mission to explore the blogosphere looking for examples. Here’s his goal:

Five days a week (not always the week days, depending on my schedule), I write about a small business that is blogging. I do this as a resource for other businesses to turn to in order to get ideas for their own blog.

A few days ago, Brian wrote a post on one of my favorite blogs, The Soap Blog, (and kindly mentioned CTBizBlogs) so I knew it was past time to mention how I read and enjoy Pajama Market.

PR and Marketing folks looking for examples should check this blog out. Small businesses researching blogging or looking for ideas to implement on their blogs, should read it, too. And if you’ve got a small business blog and you’d like your blog to be considered for a post, read his guidelines for what qualifies for a post, and let him know about you.

Thanks for saving me hunks of time, Brian.

(I wish I could remember how I first heard about this blog; it was probably through super-connector Liz, over at Successful Blog.)
