As you may already know, the first day of every month marks blog tipping day, a tradition started by Easton Ellsworth. In case your not entirely sure, blog tipping is about complimenting upon three bloggers who show excellence in their chosen field.

Although this month isn’t the beginning of the tradition, this is the first post I have participated in giving credit where credit is due.

Tip #1 goes off to Ben Yoskovitz, author and contributor to several blogs including Grasshopper New Media (a podcast network), The Great Big Small Business Show (who also is a proud sponsor of iBlog Business), iGotNewsForYou, and more.

All of the above resources are packed with useful business related content that deliver solid information, humor, and real tips you can actually use. I think when it comes to “free” on the Internet, that’s harder to come by everyday. Additionally, I had the pleasure of meeting Ben who has shown his support for our Business Blogging Directory through numerous blog posts and referring other business blog advocates.

Tip #2 goes off to Mike Sansone of Converstations who advocates business blogging as

a “Conversation Station.” As a blogging coach, you’ll have a hard time finding anyone who knows more about business blogging than Mike does.

His high energy business blog is filled with useful resources including upcoming events, industry trends, promotion, tools, and more. Be sure to check out his regular Podcasts to learn how to use blogs as an effective way to build business and listen to your clients. With almost 2000 subscribers, Mike has certainly built a community who dial into his blogoshere!

Tip #3 goes off to Marianna Hayes’s Results Revolution of Halo Business Advisors.

As a consultant and focused upon small business, Marianna Hayes offers a BIG business tips and resources for non-profits and companies on a tight budget. Her blog posts often reflect her energetic personality to shed light upon what seems like a dark tunnel and to keep your business on track for the long run. With a monthly newsletter, Halo business advisors stays in contact and is always looking to lend a helping hand.

Keep up the good work!
