I have listened to podcasts off and on over the years, but it was only recently when I tried to start being more intentional about listening to podcasts for the purpose of encouragement, challenging me in my faith and on my online life, being more intentional with my time and even business and strategic tips. I have found several that I subscribe to that I keep going back to. These are my very favorites! {And choosing to be more intentional with my time goes hand in hand with my word of the year: confidence, in Christ.}
In the comments section tell me what YOUR favorite podcasts for blogging are, I’m sure there are others out there that I haven’t come across yet!
5 Podcasts for Bloggers
Blogging Your Passion – this is a great podcast for those of us wanting to take our blogs to the “next level” so to speak. They discuss things like monetizing, SEO, Ebooks, blogging challenges, ways to make your blog stand out, etc.
How They Blog – this might be my favorite right now. 🙂 Kat Lee, whose blog I’ve read for years, interviews some of our favorite bloggers who may be a little farther down the road than we are. She discusses things like finding balance online, taking action, shop owning, blogging breaks, blogging tools, and lots of “how-to” type podcasts FROM popular bloggers!
Influence Network – this is a new favorite of mine. I love the ladies at the Influence Network. I just recently found their stuff and began following along. The Influence Network is a community of women dedicated to helping women make their online time mean something. Well, that’s me! They talk about using your blog for God’s glory, online ministry, and they interview ladies who are out in the world with amazing ministries and online shops.
Smart Passive Income – this is a podcast by Pat Flynn, an online entrepreneur and business strategist. So, this podcast is full of online business tips, blogging strategies, income sources, marketing tips, etc.
Smart Time Online – this podcast is dedicated to helping us make SMARTER decisions online and in our online businesses. Each episode has actionable strategies for many of the blogging and business related topics. Also thing like habits of successful business folks, and productivity practices.
I like to think of podcasts as “continuing my education.” I’m always working to make this blog better, to communicate more effectively and to ENCOURAGE you more effectively. That is my heart! I love learning new things and am SO excited to have you along for the ride!
So, tell me, what are your favorite podcasts??

One of my favourites is Steve from MyWifeQuitHerJob.com. It’s slightly more geared toward online businesses (not just blogs), but I absolutely love it. He gets some amazing people on there!
Candace Crabtree says
Thanks Anne! I’m going to add that to my podcast app now! 🙂
Leah Courtney says
I love these ideas, Candace. Only one is familiar to me, so I can add four podcasts to my line up! I love podcasts because I can listen when I drive or do work around the house. Another one I really like for blogging is Brilliant Business Moms.
