Now back again on Better Business Blogging, each week, I will be highlighting some of the Business Blogs which exist in the UK. The aim is to show a cross section of what people and businesses are writing about and how they are approaching the task of using blogs in their business activities. As a result, you’ll find that these posts will contain a mix of Blogs displaying a range of topics and styles.
In addition to this weekly selection, I am working with others to build a comprehensive list of Business Blogs in the UK. So if there are UK blogs which you have visited and would recommend (including your own!), then please let me know by leaving a comment or sending me a message. Thanks!
NRG Business Network
With business networks becoming all the rage, here’s a blog from one that stands out from the crowd organising business networking lunches and written by its two founders Dave Clarke and Martin Davies. Would be perfect as an integrated blog on their main site!
Can Do Can Be Inspirations
Written by Karen Skidmore, a business and life coach, primarily for women running home based businesses here in the UK but well worth a read for anyone running their own small business and looking for helpful and valid advice
Trades Union Aggregator
The Network for Trade Union blogs and bloggers here in the UK - a whole range of blogs across the Trades Union spectrum.
Nick Saalfeld’s Corporate Podcasting
One of those “does what it says on the tin” moments - it’s all about podcasting for businesses and corporates, and it’s written by Nick Saalfeld. Important area dealt with at multiple levels.
Gavin Ingham
Slightly ironic (since you aren’t supposed to sell on blogs) but this is nevertheless a nicely put together blog from Sales Trainer / Motivational Speaker Gavin Ingham.
Truly Ace
Design gone right if you see what I mean! A recently started blog from an excellent graphic designer - will certainly be interesting to see how it develops. Love the portfolio!

A great idea to find good business blogs.
Do you know about Alex Bellinger’s SmallBizPod and its associated Small Business Blog?
[ Disclosure, I contribute to it ]

David - Good to hear from you and thanks for that. I actually included Alex’s site back in July last year but certainly well worth another mention … and a visit!

Thanks for the spotlight, Mark, and for the advice. We will be integrating it into our main site shortly. We also plan to give seminar speakers the opportunity to post about their subject and get some follow up afterwards.

Dave - great idea giving the seminar speakers the chance to post. Offers an excellent option for your speakers and of course added high level content for your site - ideal Win-Win situation. And, if you are looking for someone to talk on using blogging as a business development/marketing tool or on new media marketing, then I’d be delighted to get involved.
