Our 3rd president, Thomas Jefferson, has a birthday tomorrow. He LOVED, loved, loved reading and books so much that when the original Library of Congress was attacked by British troops and all the books were burned, Jefferson offered his personal library — over 6,400 books — as replacement.
Reading books in the office may not be terribly practical these days, but you should set aside some time for your own personal education. In that same spirit here are some of our fav blogs and podcasts that we think niche media publishers should be following:
Content & Audience Development: Content Marketing Institute, Ann Handley blog, CopyBlogger , MarketingProfs
Everything marketing/media-related: Ad Age Digital Next blog
Social Media: Social Media Examiner podcasts
Events: NicheEventNation, TSNN
Ad Sales: The Sales Lion with Marcus Sheridan, 360 Ad Sales Training with Ryan Dohrn
Industry News: PubExec (Bo Sax too), Mr. Magazine (Samir Husni), Association of Magazine Media (MPA): Reports Magazine Media 360
Trends: Skift Digital Marketing Trends, Google Trends
Technology innovations: TechCrunch
Blogging: Elegant Themes Blog
And of course read this blog every week to learn what’s happening, get great niche publishing advice and learn more about the small-to-medium niche magazine publishing world!
