Podcasts to Help You Improve Your Blog

I’ve been on a podcast kick lately — I am always listening to at least a few a week, but I’m currently listening to even more — and I figured my Patreon members might want a list of podcasts that would help them with blogging and digital marketing.

So, head there for 8 podcasts that can provide more tips, tricks, and insight into blogging, SEO, social media, and generally running a business.

If you’re interested in learning how to start your own blog, jump into SEO, or up your social media game, I cover all of it on Patreon. There’s new content every week (sometimes more often), there are already 95+ posts waiting for you, and there’s no commitment, so why wait?!

Hope to see you there.

Blog Host Options

I’ve talked a little bit about blog hosting — we’re dabbling because it can get overwhelming. So, today let’s keep it simple and talk about options for a blog host. A blog host is really where your blog (and associated files) live. 

Depending on what host you choose, they make sure the blog servers are up and running, that they can handle lots of traffic, and that they are safe from viruses and hacking, etc. So, choosing a good one is important. 

There are several options out there, but here’s some you can consider.
