Devoted to small businesses and those who run them

Today, in honor of Marketing Monday, I just have to introduce you to three marketing gurus who offer up intelligent commentary and informative posts along with a darn good giggle.  I'm afraid I spent a half an hour digressing into reading individual posts instead of gathering up the links I planned to provide to you, so let's just say that I feel small- and home-based business owners should pop by and visit them soon.  (pencil in some extra surfing time though; these guys are great!)

• Gary Bourgeault provides on everything from ad copy to viral marketing over at TheAlphaMarketer.  His posts are chock full of facts and figures that will make you "go hmm".
• Harry Joiner shares great marketing tips, recruiting ideas and lots more over at Marketing Headhunter.  One of his recent posts about the Top 25 Marketing Blogs will give you even more places to check out, but in general he's got a great tone and lots of wisdom to pass along, especially if you are looking for someone to hire on or want to be that someone.  See his self-employment comments as well.  Good stuff!
• Rich Ottum over at MarketingBlurb...oh goodness.  I can't even think of Rich's blog without laughing.  You see, Rich has a certain style that appeals to, well, apparently it appeals to "our wife and our girlfriend".
