Okay, so this is obviously going to be a totally subjective list - for who has the right to make an announcement like that.

Well it’s my blog and I’m doing it. :-) I have been in the home business game for way too many years now and I’ve seen it all - the good, the bad and the ugly. Yes, a cliche, but all too real. The home business sector still has a low credibility factor, sadly - I don’t think we’ll ever be rid of those “work from home, get rich yesterday” scams, so … what better way than to highlight those that do justice to the home business sector.

So … in no particular order here are my 5 Most Influential Home Business Bloggers going around today…

1. Naomi Dunford from IttyBiz
With the tagline “Work from home tips to help you stay sane” you kow you’re going to get something good. And Naomi doesn’t disappoint. A fairly new blog on the scene, IttyBiz came across my radar somehow (who knows these days with so much information coming at us from all angles) in recent months. And I’m glad it did.

Naomi is a naturally gifted writer. You can tell by just reading a few of her posts. She’s passionate about her subject, knowledgable and is very opionated - all good traits I like in a blogger.

2. Wendy Piersall from Sparkplugging
Wendy is a legend in the online home business field. Starting off as eMoms at Home she took on the risk of starting up an “internet home business magazine”. Today, her tagline is “Work at Home Resources & Community for the Web 2.0 Generation”.

Seperated into two channels: business and lifestyle, Wendy and I apppear to be on the same wavelength - Business and lifestyle should mix well together. And more recently, Wendy has started SparkplugU, offering various courses in an online university-like setting. Very impressive.

3. Jeff Zbar from ChiefHomeOfficer.com
Jeff has been around the home business scene for a number of years. He’s a well-respected journalist and has apppeared many times in mainstream media outlets - I first noticed Jeff way back from a column he wrote in some business magazine I’ve long forgotten about. Jeff has no doubt seen more than I have ever will about all things “working from home”.

Jeff blogs quite passionately at ChiefHomeOfficer. I like his off-beat sense of humor and writing style. He doesn’t beat around the bush and he has an opinion. Obscure topics are often the norm and his insights is something I value highly.

4. Grant Griffiths from Home Office Warrior
A lawyer, Grant has started “The Internet Magazine for the Home Office Entrepreneur”. He seems passionate about the home office sector, and I notice his team writes quite a bit on virtual assistants - which is great because he can obviously see the trend in that regards.

Grant is also a heavy user of twittter and you can quite easily catch him at all times of the day and have a chat.

5. Emma Jones from Enterprise Nation
Emma Jones is all class. With a book out -Spare Room Startup: How To Start A Business From Home - ahem, where’s my review copy, Emma … ;-) - a portal-like blog with forums, Emma knows what she’s doing. And she’s doing it well. Her tagline is “A free resource to help you start and grow your business at home” and with the quality of contributors she has got on board this is one blogger to watch.

I hope those with a real keen interest in succeeding in their own home business found some new bloggers to follow with this list.

Let me know of other ethical home business bloggers in the comments if you know of any - I’m always on the look-out for any fresh faces.
