1. Small Biz Survival
Becky McCray started the Small Biz Survival blog to cater specifically to rural entrepreneurs and business owners. As someone who lived in a small town her whole life, she wanted to connect with other small town entrepreneurs around the world.

Considering its business model and target audience, it has developed a handy accompanying resource center that helps readers navigate the ins and outs of managing the finances and banking aspects of their business.

3. Small Business Bonfire
Billed as a collaborative community of entrepreneurs with actionable resources and guides, Small Business Bonfire offers quick reads and in-depth pieces on everything from marketing automation to the top choices for standing desks.

In addition to its main blog site, SBT also hosts the popular BizSugar resource network, a Reddit-like community for sharing content, networking, and hosting live events to keep small business owners engaged and on top of the latest trends.
7. Marie Forleo
Marie Forleo is a motivational speaker and author who runs a few multimillion-dollar businesses, including Marie Forleo International, B-School, and MarieTV. All of the content she writes is centered on female entrepreneurship and personal development. Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, and Oprah, among many others, have featured her work.

Hey Chad,
I'd like to appreciate first your article. It's very informative. Handling a business--- big or small is really quite challenging. There are things that you need to consider and decisions that must be made carefully and effective marketing strategies that must be applied in order for the business to continually grow. Indeed, running a business requires an extra effort.
Running a small business is incredibly difficult. As the owner, you handle every aspect from recruitment to accounting, from budgeting to marketing. Most people are employees, not owners; they don’t understand the struggles of small biz owners, or what it’s like to worry about how to reduce costs and how to increase revenue. Luckily, there’s help – people have dealt with similar problems and discussed them in top blogs in australia.
Thanks for Such a detailed and well researched post for Best Small Business Blogs.
Cheers
