Matt,
My pleasure. I’ve read copywriting blogs for a while now but didn’t realize until I started doing research for this blog how few good blogs there are on copywriting. So this list isn’t just 30 blogs…it’s THE 30 blogs that in my opinion have something to offer.

Sweet, thanks! I’ve subscribed to your feed, looks like some great content.

Nice list, Dean. Thanks for putting it together.

Michel Fortin’s blog didn’t make the cut, huh? He writes an excellent, highly-trafficked copywriting blog.

Ryan,
Whenever you make a list, you’re going to leave somebody out. I didn’t say these were the ONLY blogs worth reading.

Excellent spot with Turner Ink!

I’ll definitely be adding a few of those to my RSS feed – just to see what they’re doing and I’m not!

A nice selection there. If anyone ever finds themselves having to write specifically for careers sites though (where the quality of content can be lacking or non-existent in many cases) my blog is aimed at you

PS I’ve got you in my Blog Roll now as I love your posts. I’ve got around 160 pages indexed in Google, so I hope that’s helpful.

If you ever decide to add a blog roll here I’d love it if you considered my blog. I’d definitely appreciate the extra 90 links.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for sharing all of these sites! Now I have new people to stalk, lol, just kidding…sort of. But seriously, I am trying to get my copywriting blog in the right category but it has been difficult to find time to spend blogging while still providing copy for others AND still participate in that thing called life.

Ben Locker on Oct 20th, 2011 1:53 pm


I visited this list soon after you posted it – and discovered some great blogs as a result.

I wonder whether it’s time to post an updated list. I can think of some great copywriting blogs that have sprung up or gathered strength since then. Andy Nattan’s blog is particularly good (I see he’s left a comment above, so no problems about finding it!)

Mike Robinson on Oct 24th, 2011 3:35 am


That’s a really useful resource for anyone thinking about getting into the copywriting profession. Well done!

Hayley on Dec 17th, 2011 11:42 am


Great blog, interesting info!

Joseph Richardson on Jan 5th, 2012 6:12 am


Great list, I’ll have to check out some of the ones I don’t recognise.

We’ve just started our own blog – very much falling into category 1!
