I’m going to go through the top 5 personal blogs for entrepreneurs.
What is a personal blog?
A personal blog is a blog that’s run by an individual author, and they add a “personal touch” to their content by sharing their experiences, writing in a conversational tone, and so on.
Personal blogs are NOT those blogs with a ton of guest contributors. You will NEVER find a “corporate tone of voice” on personal blogs as the author loves to share their ideas and thoughts with their audience in a “friendly writing tone”.
It’s better to choose a niche rather than lots of topics. Just like other social media sites like instagram and youtube. This can be gardening, fitness, fashion, business or anything else.

What do they have in common?
The blog is just one part of their content creation strategy. They all also have podcasts (except Steve Pavlina) and / or books.
What are the best platforms for writing a blog?
Writing a blog is easier than ever. There are lots of platforms such as:
I choose wordpress because its easy to use, free and can be customised easily.
Are blogs in decline in 2022?
According to marketers, not even close. Blogs continue to be extremely valuable for lead generation, brand awareness, and SEO. And they’re still popular among consumers. A 2020 HubSpot study found that 60% of people read a blog at least once a week. So, blogs won’t be out of marketers’ toolbox anytime soon. On the other hand, it looks like Podcasts are overtaking blogs.
Why writing blogs is great for content
The advantage of writing blog posts is that it gives lots of ideas that can be used on other mediums such as podcasting, videos and social media. Usually writing an article or script is one of the most important steps before creating a podcast or video.
Writing is also a great way of learning.
