One of the easiest ways to stay up-to-date on the ever-changing world of blogging and social media is to listen to podcasts. Not only will you easily get the latest news on social media, but also an in-depth look to related marketing trends, entrepreneurship advice, and tips that can help guide you in growing your online communities, marketing your offline events, developing content themes, and more for your blog. The Network Niche CEO and Founder, Nadia Jones, attributes listening to multiple podcasts a week as part of what made her transition out of law into marketing and social media full-time possible. Pat Flynn also is known to have listened to podcasts daily when he worked his 9 to 5 job. Sometimes he repeated some episodes 5 or 6 times in a row.
Podcats are on-demand radio shows available on iTunes, various websites, and right into your email box when subscribing to a person’s RSS feed. They are pre-recorded so you can tune in whenever it’s convenient for you. There some podcasts that are niche-focused, others that discuss social media or marketing trends in general. Read our favorites below and be sure to share yours with us in the comments.
