In every aspect of our life we are influenced by people around us. This influence could be positive or negative. Hopefully, we will accumulate a high number of positive influences that will help us to grow and become better persons.

When I start blogging, I was visiting and reading a bunch of great blogs with different style and different goals. Among these blogs, few ones really influenced my vision of blogging and I would like to share them with you. First, because they maybe could help you as they help me. Second, because I would like to thank them publicly for the positive influence they had - and still have - on my blogging activity.

1. johnchow.com. John Chow’s blog was one of the first blog I visited. Since it is a very popular blog, it’s not surprising that I started from there. In fact, John gave me the first ingredients to start blogging. I made some searches on its blog and read its ebook. I found there plenty of good advices to start blogging from scratch. Of course, John gave me everything I need to start making money online – which is not bad – but he also influences me by his professionalism and his entrepreneur attitude. I was surprised to see John’s blog being nominated – and finally win – as the most controversial blog in 2007. I guess that people are mitigated about John’s blog. However, for myself, it’s one of my favorite and I really thank him for his great help and his professionalism. John is an exceptional online entrepreneur.

2. skelliewag.org. Skellie’s blog was an exciting finding for me. It was in an accelerated growing stage when I found it. What really get my attention was her remarkable writing style, the value-added of each articles and her outstanding generosity. Skellie gave me great tips and tricks for blogging. But the most valuable gift she gave me wasn’t written in her articles. In fact, she gave me a taste delivering quality content. In her words, she would say value-packed content! In January 2008, Skellie started a second blog named Anywired.com which is just as great as her first one. However, I must say that skelliewag.org will always be my favorite and will always have something special for me. I would like to thank Skellie for her remarkable writing talent, its generosity and for all the value-packed content!

3. doshdosh.com. Maki’s blog was another great finding for me. His blog is now well established and gave a wide variety of high quality content. If I would have to summarize Maki’s blog in few words, I would say valuable content, rigor and in-depth information. In fact, his blog is an obvious demonstration of his good content definition. No matter which article you read, the quality is there. Maki’s blog influence me in that area. I would like to thank him for his incredible rigor and for the value-added of each articles.

4. zenhabits.net. Leo’s blog is all about simplicity and better living. He influences me through this simplicity and the wisdom behind each word. I really encourage everyone to take a look at zenhabits.net if you want to increase your productivity and be more efficient. You’ll discover a whole world of articles written in a splendid way. I always have a great pleasure to read Leo’s articles. I would like to thank him for his wisdom, his intelligence and his help to make my life a little bit simpler each day!

5. problogger.net. Who don’t know probloggers.net? In fact, if you don’t know Darren’s blog, you must visit it immediately after you read this article. His blog is now a legend in the blogosphere. No matter if you are a beginner or an expert; you will find a wide variety of tips for blogging. The influence of probloggers.net is more on the technical aspects. I found a lot of information there that I couldn’t found anywhere else. I would like to thank Darren for sharing all that information and for the quality of the content.

Of course, this is the influence I got from online people but I got even more from my family. I would like to thank my wife and my children for the extremely positive influence they have on me. They are high-quality persons with great values. They also are my inspiration and the source of many ideas. Finally, I would like to thank them for their true support!

I would be glad if you could share the blogs that really influence you in your blogging activity. This is always a very valuable experience to discover new blogs from recommendations.
