Top 5 (Business) Blogs - BEDM Day 4

I think Kim at Finest Imaginary and I could be business brain twins. Her 'working for yourself' series is witty, insightful and could be straight from my very own head.

Obviously, the cream of the crop is Rock n Roll Bride's Green Room. Although predominantly aimed at those in the wedding industry, Kat's Business Bites series pulls business inspiration and advice from some of the most obscure of sources.

Braid Creative are a brand consultation sister duo from Austin, Texas who also blog about the nitty gritty behind a creative business. I actually discovered them via Kim's BEDM Top 5 Blogs post, and like her I'm thoroughly enjoying going back through Braids' archives.

Zoe at Ladybird Likes often shares insights into the 'back end' of her business, like where she gets her packaging designed, what it's like to be self employed, and so on. Zoe's musings are often thought provoking and so honest its like peeking into her soul.

In between the promo bits, the Blogcademy Headmistresses are sharing money can't buy insights and tips into improving your blog - but this is totally invaluable stuff that can be applied to any creative business.
