Unless you are brand new to Leaving Work Behind, you will know that my aim is to help you establish and grow an online business so that you can quit your job and work on your own terms.
In December 2011, after working at it for seven months, I was able to do just that. I want to help all of you do the same.
One thing is for sure – I wouldn’t be sitting in my home office on a Monday morning, sweatpants and all, without having gleaned invaluable advice from numerous blogs. And I am not going to be so proud as to tell you that everything you possibly need to know can be found on this blog. Whilst Leaving Work Behind is quickly turning into a top resource (if I do say so myself), there is a whole world of useful information out there – and I want to help you find it.
Introducing the LWB 100
And that is where the Leaving Work Behind 100 comes in. I am going to compile a league table of 100 blogs that can help you to leave work behind. The rankings will be based upon an objective analysis of publicly-available data (such as PageRank, inbound links, and comments).
In order for a blog to be considered, the majority of its content (i.e. >50%) must be actionable advice than can help you leave work behind (as I define it in my New? Start Here! page). So the topics could be far ranging – from freelance writing, to SEO, to niche site building, to affiliate marketing. As long as the blog in question can help you leave work behind, it will be accepted for consideration.
In order for me to compile this table, I need your help. If you want to see a blog in the top 100, it needs to be submitted for consideration. You can do so via the comments section in this post, the appropriate status update on my Facebook page, or by using the #LWB100 hashtag on Twitter. You are more than welcome to submit your own blog for consideration.
Voting will close at midnight on Sunday 5th February, and the table will be published on Monday 6th Wednesday 8th.
Good luck to all participants!
