20 Must-Read Blogs For Freelance Writers
Posted June 24, 2008 in Tools/Resources, Writing
The idea of this post comes from Steven’s recent post on freelance blogging. Freelance writing certainly has many advantages and can be rewarding too.
It goes without saying that in order to become a freelance writer, you gotta love writing. But you should also consistently work on sharpening your skills. And how do you do that? Reading well-written articles and blogs is a very good start! This can help you write innovative and appealing content.
Reading blogs with good writing is a must if you want to improve your skills as a writer/blogger. Keeping this in mind, I decided to list 20 blogs which should be on every freelance blogger’s RSS feed reading list. This is not a definitive list as there are many more good blogs and I can’t possibly name all of them. But still it’s a useful list which I hope you will enjoy.
Note: these blogs are not all about freelance writing or writing for the web. What they have in common is they’re all really well-written.
Here’s the list in no specific order (It’s not a top 20 list!)
- 1. Zen Habits & Write To Done Zen Habits and Write To Done are written by Leo Babauta, an experienced writer and a prolific blogger. Not only does he write great content he has an amazing writing style which is simple yet captivating.
- 2. Problogger I’d be very surprised if you haven’t heard of this blog. Problogger is written by Darren Rowse and teaches the art of blogging and making money through it. In spite of being one of the most famous blogs on the planet, Darren still maintains the same old way of writing articles which are useful, impressive and easily understandable.
- 3. Dumb Little Man One of the best productivity blogs around, Dumb Little Man is edited by Jay White and written by an impressive group of writers who produce useful articles on how to increase your everyday productivity and manage time in a better manner.
- 4. Copyblogger Brian Clark is an authority when it comes to blog writing and you cannot afford to miss any of his articles if you want to become a good writer. Seriously.
- 5. Freelance Switch Written by the best freelance writers and edited by Skellie, this blog presents insightful articles which include tips and tricks for freelancers and web workers. Thanks to it’s great content, the blog has achieved huge growth in the past one year and should be on your reading list too.
- 6. Dosh Dosh Maki’s writing style and his in-depth analysis of topics has gained him admiration and respect in the blogosphere, not to mention a huge reader base. One of the most well-written blogs around and certainly a writer’s paradise.
- 7. Seth Godin Seth’s unique and candid style of writing makes his blog a must read for all writers and bloggers.
- 8. 43 Folders Although Merlin doesn’t write much these days, his blog still remains one of the most useful productivity blogs with some very nicely written articles.
- 9. Skelliewag Skellie’s proficiency as a writer and blogger is well known and she has been producing great web content for years. Skelliewag is her flagship blog which boasts of some brilliant articles which are quite useful for bloggers.
- 10. Men With Pens This blog is written by James and Harry, both of them being professional and without a doubt, amazing writers. A must read blog if you aim to improve your writing skills and write impressive content.
- 11. Chris Pearson For those who don’t know, Chris is probably the best and the most sought after freelance WordPress designer (am not sure if he is doing freelance work any more). He doesn’t write much but when he does, the articles are too good to miss. He also created an immensely popular WordPress called Cutline.
- 12. Daily Blog Tips One of the top blogs in the blogging niche, Daily Blog Tips is written by Daniel and has some great advice for bloggers and writers who aim to make it big in the blogosphere.
- 13. Life Hacker Unmissable and a must-read everyday, no matter who you are and what you do.
- 14. Entrepreneurs Journey Yaro Starak aims to help bloggers and online entrepreneurs through his candid and thought provoking articles, which make his blog one of the most important in it’s niche.
- 15. Chris Garrett Chris is an internet marketing consultant and an experienced writer. He has also co-authored the Problogger book with Darren. Hence, it goes without saying that his blog is an important one, especially from a writer or freelance blogger’s perspective.
- 16. The Simple Dollar One of the best finance blogs around, Trent writes top quality articles which have made his site a huge success.
- 17. Steve Pavlina Steve’s 4000 word essays are quite well known and apart from including impressive content, they also feature an impeccable writing style.
- 18. Life Hack Like Dumb Little Man, this blog focuses on personal development and productivity and employs guest writers who consistently produce excellent content.
- 19. Chris Brogan Chris is a social media marketing consultant who writes some direct-from-heart articles on his blog which are nicely written and well presented.
- 20. Freelance Folder It’s not that I am biased towards this blog because I write for it but I believe it’s certainly a must-read blog for all the freelance bloggers out there and I have been enjoying the well written articles on this blog by influential writers, long before I started writing for it. :)
Some other blogs which feature impressive writing are A List Apart, The Writers Manifesto and Success Soul.
Which blogs do you read to improve your skills as a writer / blogger? I’d love to know your resources.

June 24th, 2008 at 4:38 amThanks for the list of great blogs. Writing comes naturally to some and for others it’s a skill that comes with practice. Many of today’s best copywriters learned from studying the masters, too. I’m learning that way, too
James Chartrand - Men with Pens
June 24th, 2008 at 5:26 amSweet. Thanks for the link – and for the list. Nice eclectic choice, and there are a few on there that I’ll go take a look at. Word-of-mouth recommendation is the best kind.

June 24th, 2008 at 5:30 amGreat links – a lot of which are new to me :) Thanks.
Abhijeet Mukherjee
June 24th, 2008 at 5:39 am@ Rhianna- You are right ! In fact most of the good writers suggest practicing the art of writing.
@ James- You’re welcome !
Monika Mundell
June 24th, 2008 at 5:46 amHi Abhijeet,
Thank you for the honorary mention. To (nearly) make it on the list of so many established and long term bloggers is an honor to say the least. I’m a regular reader of a few of the blogs you mentioned and have found a couple more of interest.
Abhijeet Mukherjee
June 24th, 2008 at 5:49 am@ Monika- You’re welcome !

June 24th, 2008 at 6:15 amHey Abhijeet…
I’d like to leave a tip that helped me gain confidence as a writer. I’ve mentioned this tool to a few fellow writers who looked at me in dismay but it’s helped me enormously. Glyphius is a software that scores your words for positivity and power. It allows you to tweak those words to make them score higher. This tool has improved my writing in many ways. Just thought I’d pass that on to your readers.

Don’t you read that blog by Daniel, Abhijeet?
I highly recommend reading it :-)
Abhijeet Mukherjee
June 24th, 2008 at 7:36 amI do Shankar :) But as I said, I can’t possibly include all here. I thought Daily Blog Tips has a better chance :)
Lois K
June 24th, 2008 at 7:59 amI found a few I haven’t checked out before! AllGraphicDesign.com also has some very well written informative articles though they are not as active as they were six months ago. Rachel does a beautiful job over there. Thanks for the great list!!

June 24th, 2008 at 8:15 amThat’s OK! Useful!
Sara
June 24th, 2008 at 8:58 amA few of these were missing from my reader, so thanks for taking the time to create this list. Write to Done is excellent and I’m a recent convert to Men with Pens.
Daniel Richard | WE
June 24th, 2008 at 9:04 amIt’s great to see Success Soul mentioned in this list here. :)
Jacob from Group Writing Projects
June 24th, 2008 at 9:50 amGood list, glad to have made some discoveries. I’d never heard of Men with Pens before.
Leah
June 24th, 2008 at 12:10 pmGreat list of blogs. However, I would say these as a group should be referred to as “blogs for freelancers” not freelance writers. A couple of these would qualify as freelance writer blogs, but most don’t.
LS
June 24th, 2008 at 12:19 pmI like Chrisblogging and Web Writing Info. I didn’t see either on your list, but both are pretty interesting.
Tammy
June 24th, 2008 at 12:37 pmGreat list! Many I already visit daily, but there’s some that I’d never heard of and am excited to check out!
I think you must have forgot to include my blog though. :) I post hand-picked freelance writing job listings every day and try hard to weed out the scams and low-paying jobs. http://www.writersresources.blogspot.com
Thanks again for the great list!
Allena T
June 24th, 2008 at 12:59 pmall these productivity blogs are killin’ my productivity. My adivce is to pick two or three, and stick with them. Write to DOne for writing, and Zen habits for productivity. Throw in Freelance Switch for freelancing/biz advice and presto, you’re producing more, reading less.
Susan Johnston
June 24th, 2008 at 1:54 pmI LOVE Freelance Switch. Other faves include: Freelance Writing Jobs and Catalyst Blogger. I would have liked to see more blogs are writing specific, too. :)

June 24th, 2008 at 4:39 pmGood selection Abhijeet, I ve got most of these blogs in my feeds.
Sophie
June 24th, 2008 at 5:29 pmThanks and yikes! If I read all these, when will I have time to write?
Chris Wren
June 24th, 2008 at 5:29 pmThis is a great list of useful blogs, but if you read all of these (and all the other blogs people recommend) on a daily basis when you find time to write – or do anything else for that matter? I agree with Allena T: pick a few favorites, stick with them and don’t worry too much about being left behind. If a blog’s awesome and useful, chances are you’re going to hear about it by simple word of mouth. There’s always going to be someone who has a longer and hipper feed list than you. Chances are, they’re not loaded down with professional assignments though.

June 24th, 2008 at 6:06 pmGreat List!
It’s good to know that I am not too off track with my Rss Feeds.
congrats for the Digg frontpage! ;)
Michael Carnell
June 24th, 2008 at 6:34 pmExcellent links – there were actually even two or three that I didn’t actually have. But, as a freelancer how can you leave out http://www.freelancewritinggigs.com ? Always help to find a gig to bring in some money.

Thanks for the great list. Found out about some gems that I’ve never even heard of, I’ve heard of the biggies like copyblogger and problogger, but Men With Pens and The Simple Dollar look like great additions to my bloglines reader.
More stuff to keep me distracted from doing my own blogging!
-Thanks,

June 25th, 2008 at 6:12 amHi Aberjheet,
You are a pouplar name on the web!
I have set up a social network for artists, writers and musicians and I wondered if you would consider doing an article on how new social networks and websites can get honest coverage by bloggers?
I have seen a few companies which require payment to get blogged about but I guess there might be a more honest way if you know where to go and how to go about it?
Anyway, all the best and keep up the good work :)

*shakes head* Got me all paranoid.

Melissa
July 5th, 2008 at 5:10 pmI’m wondering if your glaring omission of http://freelancewritinggigs.com was an oversight on your part or if you don’t feel it deserving of a place on the list? It’s the first blog most of us visit every day and it’s the number one online community relating solely to freelance writing. Is there a reason you’re not including it?
DHobbs
July 6th, 2008 at 12:21 amAbhijeet – Tripping over this blog today reminds me of finding $5 in the street when I was a child ($5 was nothing to sneeze at back then). What a wonderful source of information and I particularly appreciate this post for providing “study” material.
My friends and family have been admonishing me for wasting my writing ability for years. I finally feel like I’ve found a source from which to learn and be emboldened. Thank you again for a great blog and an equally great post.
lornadoone
July 8th, 2008 at 8:13 pmSo, I’m checking out my stats, and there’s a link from Freelance Folder (one of my very favorite freelancing blogs btw), and it says it’s coming from a post called “20 Must-REad Blogs for Freelance Writers.”
“Oh my goodness,” I think. “Could we have made that list?!”
Sadly, the answer was “no.” :-( Still, we really appreciate that you listed our “67 Niche Markets” post in your sidebar. It doesn’t quite make up for the sting, but it’s pretty close. ;-)
Allena Tapia
July 10th, 2008 at 4:58 pmAlso, author, one of the blogs you listed was full of errors- not typos (cause I know typos, hell, I made my last comment from a Blackberry on the back of a bike!) but real mistakes. Anyway, yeah, just cleaning up my reading after the lonnnng holiday. Thanks again for putting a list together for the writers:)

March 12th, 2009 at 2:47 pmThis is a great list – it’s also nice confirmation to see that I read about 75% of those blogs regularly!
These guys have created media outlets that fit to the pursuits of freelancing perfectly. If you follow any of them on Twitter, you can sometimes get direct access to them too! (Don’t over-use this!)
If you ever need to know something – see what these guys have to say.

Sigh. Between my clients (not complaining believe me), social media (!) and blogs I want to read, or think I need to read… seriously, how do you keep up?

December 2nd, 2009 at 8:28 amHello and thanks a lot about the list! Not only to Abhijeet but also to people who commented and told about more links!
I’m new to freelance and have to proove my knowledge – so far I had 2 translations done with both customers totally satisfied with its quality.
I looked through the links and I saw a real interesting things to tell people – Russian people. I’d like to translate those in order to pass those ideas to those who don’t speak ans read English promoting the Bolgs and my translation quality at the same time. But I couldn’t find writers’ emails to ask for permission. can you give me any tips how to contact them or will posting source links and writer’s name be fine (I anyway will post their names and source links)?
Thanks for any feedback!
Regards and good customers to everyone,

I’ve learned different writing styles and voices that can mold me to become a good writer someday. But it’s up to me if I will continue to face this challenge.

August 29th, 2012 at 2:14 pmInteresting, to say the least. I was going to suggest that people hire a blogger. There are several places out there to pick from, but one place that I’ve dealt with in the past is Ez Writers. http://www.ezwriters.net has a lot of different things to offer. Heck, they even do college papers. Just a thought!

October 29th, 2012 at 3:29 pmI definitely think that one of the best ways to improve your writing is to read and this list looks great. With the advent of the blog we are seeing an influx in the the availability of personal essays. I was looking at a site for personal injury attorney in chicago and seeing how writing is evolving and becoming more prevalent. Would you say that the writing of the site or the visuals have more effect on your choice? Or is it a combination of the two?
