The Blogs I’m Consuming and How I’m Doing It.

Written by Ken Bernock | Follow me on Twitter and discuss on Google+.

Two questions that’s been popping up in my inbox and twitter stream often is – “Ken, which blogs do you subscribe to and how do you find time to read them all? Questions that I often wonder myself about others.

Subscriptions

I personally subscribe to blogs that give me value in my life. People subscribe to blogs for different reasons. I’ve found the value I get in return is most important to me.

If I haven’t read a blog or found value in a couple months I unsubscribe and transfer my attention else where.

I’ve read about people subscribing to 100 plus blogs, which I find crazy. I don’t know how you can keep track of all the data coming in.

Finding Time

Early every morning I grab a nice cup of coffee and sit down in front of google reader. I admit I’m a scanner but I usually read at least the first part of the article. If I find myself bored or the article doesn’t interest me I archive and move on.

If I end up reading the entire article but it was just ok, yet again I archive and move on. I only share articles that I feel added value to myself and possible others.

Platforms

Alongside google reader I use Hootsuite. I plug all the articles I enjoyed into Hootsuite publisher. This allows me to schedule them throughout the day. I do this so I don’t overkill all of my followers’ streams.

My goal is to have the most valuable content I can handle come to me without having to go on a time-consuming journey to find it. I then share this beneficial content with others in the easiest, most efficient way.

Below you will find some popular blogs and some you might not have heard of. I’m not going to go into detail about them. Read some of their articles and see if it might be something for you.
