If you’re like a lot of marketing professionals, you’re probably always on the hunt for good, actionable marketing tips that you can use to grow your business right away.  Interested in marketing tips and marketing techniques? Then check out these websites for members of the marketing community.

 

In no particular order here’s the list, as provided by the 60SecondMarketer.com

 

MarketingProfs

Ann Handley and her team have done such a great job upgrading MarketingProfs over the past few years, it’s hard to know where to start. If you’re looking for useful information on marketing, they’re one of the best sites around.

MarketingSherpa

Another great marketing site. MarketingSherpa focuses more on marketing research and case studies, so their results are based on data, not just anecdotal information or opinion.

ChrisBrogan.com

What can I say? Chris provides his followers with tons of great tips on social media along with his insights into new and emerging media. And, from what I can tell, he’s a nice guy. His parents should be proud.

SethGodin.com

Seth is the guy who started it all back when he wrote Permission Marketing many, many years ago. He’s a pioneer and still writing great posts on business and marketing every day.

CopyBlogger.com

One of the few writers who matches Chris Brogan for style and content is Brian Clark.  Check out some of Brian’s insights on consumer behaviour and you’ll see what I mean.

ProBlogger.com

This is another excellent blog, run by Darren Rowse. He consistently provides top-notch tips for bloggers and social media practitioners. Chris Brogan, Brian Clark, Darren Rowse and Sonia Simone started ThirdTribeMarketing.com together (see below). Third Tribe is a great place to get advice on all things interactive.

DivaMarketingBlog.com

Toby Bloomberg was recently ranked as one of the 20 best marketing and social media blogs by women by Forbes. She also has a terrific new eBook called Social Media Marketing GPS that’s definitely worth reading.

Brainzooming.com

Mike Brown is a smart, strategic thinker who has some interesting perspectives on marketing and business. He’s a friend and worth checking out.

WebInkNow.com

David Meerman Scott wrote the definitive book on new and emerging media several years ago. It’s called The New Rules of Marketing and PR and has recently been updated. The book is packed with good information as is his blog. Definitely worth checking out.

Website Grader from Hubspot

These guys are geniuses. Really, they are. They’re one of the first companies to put a tool on their website that drew visitors back to the site on a regular basis. The tool — Website Grader — uses its own algorithm to calculate how visible your site is to search engines. It’s totally worth checking out.

ThirdTribeMarketing.com

As mentioned above, Chris, Brian, Darren and Sonia started this forum as a way for marketers around the globe to learn, share and inspire each other to improve their marketing skills. I joined recently and it’s proven to be a valuable tool.

Compete.com

If you haven’t stopped by Compete.com yet, you really need to do so. It’s a great way to compare various website analytics across multiple sites. I stop by frequently just to find out how other sites are doing.

60SecondMarketer.com

Okay, shameless plug here. But if you haven’t had a chance to take a spin through our site, it might be worth checking out. We have: 60 video tutorials on marketing, access to free marketing tools, marketing articles and dozens of other pages filled with useful tips and techniques. (At least, that’s what we think.)
