As both a business student and a blogger, my time on the internet (assuming I’m not working on the blog) is most often spent on bettering my knowledge. Both for blogging and for my career. That being said, I have read countless articles from numerous websites. However, there are only six that I find myself returning to time and time again.
Nose Graze
I figured my first shoutout ought to be someone that everyone within the book blogging community should know about. If you don’t know about her (whether you’re a book blogger or not), that needs to change. ASAP.
Ashley, the owner of Nose Graze is not only an amazing person and a blogger, but a significant resource in the blogging community. She’s a designer with a shop full of thousands of things you can buy for your blog, courses to teach you coding for your blog, and hundreds of articles that are packed full of wisdom and usefulness. Going though the Nose Graze blog is like going through an online course itself–you know, without all the workbooks and stuff.

Classy Career Girl
Most bloggers agree that running a blog is very much similar to running a business full-time. That being said, Classy Career Girl has a blog that is full of inspiration, reasons to stay motivated, and tons of practical business advice.
Not to mention, they have a collection of free resources for entrepreneurs, a Facebook group, and they allow guest contributors. So much wow in one site.
The SITS Girls
If you’ve been blogging for awhile, you probably know who The SITS Girls are. Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin. The SITS Girls are a part of Massive Sway, an influencer group that helps match bloggers to sponsorship opportunities. This isn’t something I see a lot of in the book blogging community right now, but I see this as being a huge part of the future since this is so important in most other blog niches.
That doesn’t sound good enough? Well, The SITS Girls also have a HUGE blog full of resources and tutorials for bloggers and small business owners as well as many ways to connect and network with thousands of other bloggers.
Levo League
If you know who Levo League is, you’re probably wondering why I’m including them here. After all, it is not a website aimed towards other blogggers. But it should be. Remember what I said about blogs being like mini businesses? Levo League is for businesses and business professionals. There are so many articles on career building from how to network better (important for all bloggers) to how to present yourself having more confidence (also very important.

I always find myself reading articles from Levo League and I find them not only helpful, but motivational. They’ve helped me out of some blogging ruts in the past.
Olyvia Media
I was lucky enough to find Olyvia Media at the very beginning. I found her through a website I’m going to mention in a moment, and I have been so impressed and lucky to be a subscriber. Olyvia’s goal is to help entrepreneurs “Be delightful online.”
And not only is this directed to small businesses and entrepreneurs–her articles are also aimed towards bloggers. She has a whole list of resources she uses around the web to help her blog and her business, not to mention a whole collection of free classes she’s made to boost your social media impact and to make your online presence more reputable.
By Regina
I found out about Olyvia through this awesome lady right here. By Regina is like the god of all other blogs out there to help you grow your blog and your business. Chock full of humor, genius, and maybe a little bit of unicorn magic, Regina gives a step by step process on how to do just about anything entrepreneurial online.
By Regina also has a ton of classes and digital downloads that you can buy to learn from, but, much like Nose Graze, her entire blog is like a course in and of itself. However, not so much on coding like Nose Graze and a LOT more on branding, social media, and marketing.
If anything, you should just be following her because she’s hilarious.
