13 Up and Coming New Blogs To Read In The New Year
13 of the Finest Up and Coming New Blogs to Read in 2013
New blogs are an inspiration to read. They have different perspectives and ideas. New bloggers need readers and a running start so they can continue to blog. Did you know only 20% of all bloggers continue to blog for 6 years or more? I have come across some great new blogs recently and wanted to share them with you for your 2013 up and coming new blogs to read. Enjoy the reading!
The 13 New Blogs for 2013 to Read:
- Hi4HiTech - A new and upcoming blog by Sapna – A great guide on knowledge sharing for naive programmers to experts. She has been writing other blogs around the globe for companies. This blog was just started in October of 2012.
- Captured Blogging Tips – Another new blog I just discovered with a lot of SEO tips and tricks. This blog has been around only over a month.
- Attraction Marketing Consulting - Margarita is from Bulgaria and is a network marketer with a blog on tidbits of marketing and more.
- Squirrel Social - A local social media company in the littlest state in the union. I really liked their new social media tips for 2013 in their new blog. Something about their name too is catchy. Would you agree?
- Quick Blog Tips – By Ben Barden. I love the quick blog tips that Ben provides in a thought provoking manner and short posts (usually).
- Pauline Bennett.com - Pauline Bennett writes about list building with tips and tricks on how to grow your list and start a newsletter.
- Neamatproblog.com – A very new blog by Neamat Tawadrous on cutting edge attraction marketing tips geared towards entrepreneurs. She learned the ropes working from home and is teaching others how. I just came across this informative and very well done blog as I was preparing this post. Her blog was started in mid-November.
- Mr Ryan Connors Blog - I came across this very clean looking blog on tech, social, business and marketing. A very new refreshing blog.
- SarkeMedia – Sarah Arrow is a brit with a fresh blog on internet marketing. I found her on bloggers and enjoyed several of her posts.
- Life Reset Coaching – This blog by Ciara was created to give you the tools, the mindset, and the confidence to create a new experience of your life. If you are looking to make changes in your life, check out her blog today.
- 1singularsensation.com - Helping you manage your social media strategies. A nice and clean looking blog that has not been around for too long by D Dixon.
- Eager Existence - A travel blog that begs the question “Are you really living or merely existing?” A clean looking blog with travel topics and more by Ian Cartwright. I fond this one in Google communities.
- Jibarry - The Library Of Jibber Jabber – a different type of blog about anything. I ran across this a couple times in my search for new blogs and liked several of the posts and I think you will enjoy them too.
A special thanks goes out to Mayura from Mayura4Ever on submitting a few for my review. This was a very time consuming process of going through at least a hundred of blogs to find 13 that met the criteria. If you know more feel feel to leave them in your comments too.
How often do you read new blogs? And have you read many of these blogs yet?

Some nice new blogs out here Lisa. May I ask whether they approach you, or you went looking for them?
Raaj Trambadia recently posted..(Giveaway) – Thirsty Affiliates Premium
Hi Raaj, Thanks! It really took some time. I went through Bloggers, Google groups, Mayura sent me a few he knew of and some were from comments on blogs I regularly visit. I was looking for some fresh new ones to share. I tried to get some that didn’t have a lot of readers yet though a few did but they really will be the UP and COMING for 2013 if they continue to blog as they do. Have you read any of them prior?

That\’s nice. BTW, just wanted to let you know that I, along with all the commentators, received 2 \’reply notifications\’ for my comment. One was from the plugin CommentReplyNotification and the other one was by the evergreen Commentluv Premium – do get rid of the first one
Raaj Trambadia recently posted..(Giveaway) – Thirsty Affiliates Premium
Thanks! I had heard from someone else once – I believe I just fixed it. I had comment reply plus the CommentLuv premium.

I am only following one of the blogs on your list, and that\’s Ben\’s Quick Blog TIps. Ben is an awesome writer and his tips are brilliant. Now, I\’ll take a closer look at the others on the list, or maybe I\’ll just add them to my reader
Jens P. Berget recently posted..Promotional products and gifts – does it work?
Thanks Jens and I fixed Sapna’s link too. I can always teach what not to do. Double checking links is a to do. Hope you will enjoy the others too.

Thank you Jens, much appreciated
Have a great Christmas!
Wonderful list yet again Lisa!
I love the number 13 all over – gives the feel of 2013 already, and not to miss the snow-fall already on your blog…reminds me to do up mine too!
I hardly know any of the blog or people mentioned in your list, except for Sapna\’s blog as she has come over at my blog too and we\’ve recently got to know each other. Would surely be checking out the others – thanks for sharing these with all of us.

I tried it on my blog but it seemed to slow down the loading of pages. But those were plugins. Not that handy lilsnow button I git after my wp update.
Thanks for sharing these links, Lisa. I\’ll certainly be looking at them and hoping to connect with some more great bloggers.

Atish Ranjan recently posted..Facebook Cover Maker App Unveiled By Athena IT Limited
Hi Lisa,
You know what I\’m thinking?
You can start creating a blog directory with all these blogs you found out.
I\’ve gone through few in the list but there are more I didn\’t Lisa. That\’s very true that finding new bloggers like we are opening to more opinions though right or wrong. Especially hanging out with \’em is really great too. Anyway I\’ll try to be in the limit without overdoing or overwhelming with it. I gotta filter out from all
Oh gosh
20%? I\’ve mentioned 40% for someone. Urgh… I gotta reach and correct the numbers 
That must be hard to go through all the blogs and pick 13 from \’em. A time sucker I\’d say, but valuable resource at last
Ah… 2013 gonna be very busy
I still seeking for time to get on other blogs you suggested. Definitely I will need to go with favorites and prioritize others. Hmm… Let\’s see 
Thanks for mentioning me too Lisa
It\’s not necessary though, you know it\’s friend-to-friend 
Cheers…

HI Lisa
Thank you so much for mentioning my blog at the TOP of your 13 up and coming new blogs, I am really honored to be chosen by YOU and to be a part of your community inside blogosphere.
Infact I saw this, when I just surfed to your blog. Kudos and best of luck to everyone who could make it on to your list.
Now is the time to prove my worth and live up to your expectations.
Really you are an inspiration now for the novice bloggers. I have been a very regular visitor of your blog and find it really inspiring and now it will be lasting in my memory for ever.

Hi Lauren, This was the hardest one of the 3 posts I did on 13 blogs for 2013. I hope you will enjoy them too. I agree, virtual snow is so much easier to deal with. We have been lucky so far this year in New England haven’t we? Thanks for coming by and have a great day.

Hi Lisa,
Thank you so much for mentioning my blog as on of your 13 up and coming new blogs, I am really honored. This is my first time in your blog and if it was not of Sapna who sent me a message and mentioned it to me, I wouldn\’t have known about it. Thanks so much for the encouragement and for supporting us the new bloggers.
I want to congratulate and wish the best of luck to everyone whom you voted for their blogs on the list above. Now, we are all accountable to live up to your expectations as Sapna put it.
I only visit Sapna\’s blog from the list above but I will be visiting other selected blogs to wish them best of luck for the new year and build a relationship with each and everyone of them.
Once again, thanks for the encouragement and for selecting my blog and I appreciate all your support.. God Bless You.
Merry Christmas,

Neamat Tawadrous recently posted..Lead Generation Strategies for Newbies!!
You are very welcome Neamat. I remember when I first started out blogging – it sure wasn’t easy. You wonder, is anyone really reading this? Does anyone care if I write another post? I really liked the posts I read on yours and the blog itself is very clean and easy to navigate. I found some with so much “stuff” on the sidebar you could barely find the content. I look forward to reading yours more in 2013 and have a Merry Christmas too!

Thanks for the roundup.
Interesting that the Squirrel Social site is run on Weebly. That\’s good to know. I use that platform for several blogs and it\’s a solid platform, although not nearly as sophisticated as WordPress.
I think you\’ll start to see more and more bloggers using it.
Yes, different from most of the WordPress sites we see a lot of. I’ll have to check yours out. Thanks for coming by and welcome to Inspire to Thrive Matt.

Hi Lisa,
I am coming up on my two year blogging anniversary and I have no desire to stop now. I remember when I first started my blog I had so many other new bloggers on the journey with me. Sadly, one by one they either quit their blogged or just stopped updating it.
I knew it would take some time to figure out blogging and I am glad I stuck with it. I have visited some of the blogs on your list but I will have to check out the other ones I haven\’t heard of.
Take Care.

Lisa recently posted..13 Up and Coming New Blogs To Read In The New Year
Thank you so much for listing my blog Lisa I’m flattered. Though you did spell my name wrong in the text of the link
PS- I noticed when sharing you blog on Google+ that the title showed twice. I had the same issue on my blog because of a Facebook Open Graph plugin where Google+ counted the Open Graph title and the SEO pluging title. I deleted the Open Graph Plugin and solved the problem, but I’m not sure if that’s the right move for you since you have a strong Facebook presence. Just an FYI
That is interesting because I haven’t come across that myself anymore. I had adjusted the digg digg plug-in that was causing it before on other places. I’ll check it out again – one never knows sometimes with updates too. I don’t use the open graph plug-in either. Thanks for the observation.

It’s fixed – it was the Open Graph plug-in – just unchecked it. Thank you for being so observant.

Lisa recently posted..Will The Facebook Graph Search Change Social and Search?
Hello Lisa,
I agree with Mayura, you can definitely start a directory here
How awesome is it of you to give these new bloggers some shout outs to get their audience going. You’ve done that for me and I so appreciate it! And with only 20% of bloggers continuing, I believe we should all take a page from your book and pay it forward to show support for one another.
I’ve had the pleasure of reading Pauline Bennett’s posts and she’s awesome. Right away I felt comfortable there because the first thing you see on her site is “List building for newbies”.
I would like to recommend Gabe Johansson at http://gabejohansson.com/. He’s got some great videos about email marketing and what I love about him is that he is approachable and helps you out no questions asked. I felt comfortable asking him questions.
Thanks for sharing this list, Lisa. I’m definitely going to take some time and check them out. Hope you’re having a great day!
