Welcome to another High-Five Friday! It’s a gorgeous day here in Denver. I just made a huge bowl of popcorn, my cat is sleeping, my houseplants are alive and all is well with the world. Well, not really, but if you think of it as my own little tiny world (like I do) then really things here are just peachy.
Thank you for the great response to last week’s list! It’s so much fun to share my favorite sites and have them become some of your favorites as well. More good stuff for you this week - give them a visit and knock around their archives for a while!
Sure, there are lots of sites that say they will teach you to make money online. What’s different about Garry? He’s a real person who really makes money online and really tells his readers what works and what doesn’t work. He’s the most prolific writer I’ve come across - he once said he was going to take a wee break from his blog (although I’m pretty sure he didn’t say “wee”) which meant he only posted 1.73 times a day instead of 3.42.
As his title suggests, Jonathan writes a great deal about his life and the insights he’s gained. He’s a terrific writer who doesn’t hold back. He’s also had success as a guest-blogger at several well-known sites. I’ve learned a lot from subscribing to Jonathan’s blog, and I think you will, too.
Patti Digh makes me laugh. And cry. She wrote a book. Further comments would leave me sounding like a stalker, so I will stop with: I heart Patti Digh.

I need to get more organized with my work schedule now that I’m not punching a timeclock. To that end, I’m going to start a regular Friday event here called High-Five Fridays. You are ALL invited and please invite your friends (that didn’t sound like begging, did it? It was supposed to.)
High-Five Fridays will highlight five of my favorite websites. I think most of the sites will be blogs, but I want to leave the door open just a tiny bit for self-promotion other genres. Here are the first five - please visit them and enjoy!
Hunter is a clever writer whose blog title pretty much sums it up. In his own words, his work “will help you bridge the gap between the life you have and the life you want.” His recent post The Introverts Strike Back had me rolling on the floor.
I was fortunate to find Pam’s blog a few years ago when escaping from cubicle hell nation seemed impossible. Pam really knocked people over with her pointed and insightful post Open letter to CEOs, COOs, CIOs and CFOs across the corporate world. Publishers have also found her blog and she has a book of the same title scheduled for Spring, 2009!
As much as I like “discovering” new sites, I’d be completely remiss not to list one of my favorite places to visit. Leo lives on Guam with his wife and six children. If you have ever wanted to do something but lacked the motivation, this blog is for you. I suggest you start at his Popular Posts page for a tidy list that you’ll stay up all night reading.
Lynn has over a decade of internet marketing experience, yet she remains unscathed by the ickyness that is so easy to find in this industry. If Lynn wasn’t already out there being Lynn, I’d try to be her! Her blog has just the right mix of new product reviews and personal anecdotes. She’s great at leveraging social marketing and she has free webinars every week!
All Wordpress all the time. This blog is a great resource for Wordpress users and is strictly business - no personal rants and ramblings here. The blog opened its doors in November, 2007, and hasn’t looked back since. They average 15 posts a month and topics range from 8 Clever Ways to Lower the Bounce-Rate on Your Blog to super nice Free Glossy Blogging Icons Set for Bloggers.
Readers (you AND your friends) - Leave me a note about YOUR favorite places! I’d love to include them in this feature, and nothing makes me happier than getting hooked on new blogs!
