I chose this web design and inspiration blog because it has several gems to make you stand out from the crowd. There are thousands of web development and tutorial blogs, but 1stwebdesigner cut across every sphere and has benefited a lot from search engine organic traffic. How did I know? Search on Google for “free wordpress themes.” I’m sure you’ll see this blog pop out several times.
2. AlexWalley
The very blogger that inspired me in niche marketing and how to build niche blogs to dominate search engine.

4. Copyblogger
Who doesn’t know Brian Clark? Then I’m sure you’ve been living under a rock. But he’s worthy of appearing in this list. He’s built a popular content marketing blog out there. As a copywriter, he combines the power of writing persuasive copies and huge responsive social media following to create the perfect platform every. You’ll surely get inspiration from his copyblogger. I assure you!
5. DavidRisley
David Risley is an info product marketer and a recognized business coach. I like his blog because he’s honest, patience and never exaggerates his marketing campaigns. He’s teachings are centered on money making but he doesn’t promise overnight results. If you follow his advice bit by bit, success is already looming about you.
As the name implies, Yaro Starak is the famous founder of this blog. I happened to read one of his valuable reports and he emphasized the need for list building. Actually, I started building my email list after I saw the responsiveness, sales and engagement he derives from his subscribers. He’s hardworking and full of vigor. You’re welcome on my blog Yaro…
Firepolemarketing is fairly new in the blogging arena but the impact is so strong. I can’t neglect it in this list because of in-depth inspiration and knowledge you could gain by merely checking out the blog. It’s extremely colorful; a combination of red (my favorite color) and yellow to captivate audience as they read the yummy posts.

11. InstantShift
Just like 1stwebdesigner, Instantshift is one powerful blog that writes about photoshop tutorials, web design and development tips. They also feature informative “how to” articles to smoothen your learning curve. They just got a new site design and to be honest, I don’t really like this new theme. I prefer the initial…forgive me.
Carol Tice is a great writer. But he doesn’t pride herself as an expert. She doesn’t joke with marketing and that’s separated her from the rest of us (lazy writers who pray without marketing). She advocates that you can actually make a living writing and that’s what the blog is all about. Find great contents, fabulous tips and quite tireless inspirations.
13. OnlineIncomeLab
Do you know why I decided to list this blog? Well, I got inspired when I read the income report for December 2011. Well presented and has this quirky attribute that gives hope to your business. Have you ever thought making money online is difficult, well, onlineincomelab debunks that philosophy?
14. Karachicorner
100% inspiration blog featuring articles, tutorials and self help videos in web designs, photoshop creativity, font manipulations, programming language tutorials and graphic designs. I stumbled on this blog a few days ago, and got thrilled with the layout and all the great tutorials to make you better. It looks a bit crowded, but highly intensive and gracious.
15. Problogger
If you don’t know Darren Rowse, where have you been?
He’s been my mentor even though he doesn’t know me. I’ve gotten so used to his style of writing that and how explanatory it is. His blog is mainly focused on beginners and intermediates. But experts can still pick up gems from this pro blogger. There is so much to say about Problogger, but I’m leaving you to find out yourself…
16. YoungPrePro
I can’t forget my brother and the famous young freelance writer who consistently earn enough from writing projects. He currently redesigned his blog and the theme is super-fabulous. Each time I visit his blog, I find intelligent and straight forward help to improve on my writing. However, the paragraphs are too congested. I suggest he make adjustments and limit paragraph lines to 3 or less. Leave enough white spaces for easy reading. But he’s great…
Talking about income reports, no one does it better than Pat Flynn. A laid off employee, didn’t give up in life. Created his first e-book and made over 200,000 in 12 months. That’s above 6 figures and quite inspirational. He’s diversified right now though. He has podcasts, applications and videos for your delight. I can’t thank him enough for his inspirational monthly income reports. I can’t wait to read “January’s Earning Breakdown.”
18. Social Triggers
Derek Halpern is the man everybody wants to be with. Why? He can help you generate more leads, sales and improve your business return on investment (ROI). Has he paid me to review his consulting services? Absolutely not! On the contrary, he’s responsible for my blog’s structure. I had to put an opt-in form in my blog’s header. Since I did that, I’ve tripled my list by 102%.
19. WeBlogBetter
I especially like this theme. The owner happens to be a hardworking woman and very industrious. I saw the lines in his sentences when he approved my first guest post in 2011. Weblogbetter helps you with blogging tips and networking.
The light green theme symbolizes growth and vegetation. Isn’t that all you ever wanted in your business, to grow and feed others with the proceeds?

Have you seen him talk about affiliate marketing? I’m sure you’ll be thrilled by the simplicity. After I listened to his talks, my overall web marketing mindset improved. I’m glad to list him here.
21. WorkAwesome
I like workawesome very much. However, I’m yet to syndicate my article in this blog. But overall, what I saw and read inspired me the more. This blog talks about positive mindset, business strategy, business growth, small business tips, investing guides etc. Get inspired as you build your wealth portfolio, become the best in your niche and make more money.
