7 Ways to Get Booked on 100+ Podcasts

Click to Listen ↘?

1. Create a Targeted List of Podcasts & Hosts

Podcast hosts are more likely to have you on as a guest if you have showed interest in them.

START with people you know.

And engage on their episodes, network with past guests on their active social channels, and show up online as a peer to similar guests.

2. Prepare 5 to 10 Podcast Titles in Advance

It's easier for podcast hosts to see you as a high quality, referrable guest when you are prepared with topics and episode titles that serve their audience.

For example, use sites like podchaser & owltail to find example titles, hosts, or past guests.

3. Get Your Assets Ready - Write your Bio

Podcast hosts need guest assets to smoothly book, record, and upload each episode. Gather your podcast assets and credentials including your bio, short introduction, headshots, social media handles, PR / press features, with any of the following...

• Media Kit
• Google Drive Folder
• Website / Landing Page / Blog Post

The goal is to quickly access frequently requested podcast resources.

Vinnie Bonus Tip - Build consistent messaging into your bio, introductions, and messaging to improve search and positioning. For example, Vinnie Potestivo consistently includes in his podcast materials... "Inspire, Impact, Ignite".

Judi ?? Bonus Tip - Launch a LinkedIn Newsletter to embed your guest podcast episodes AND use the new clickable link feature to drive listeners to your podcast episodes.

Posting & featuring yourself on ONE podcast can lead to recording MANY podcasts.

For example, here is a great way to feature your podcast episodes in a LinkedIn Newsletter / Article.

Love the Clickable Image Link to direct people to your podcast episodes.

Extra Judi & Vinnie Bonus Tip - Develop a library of unique creative assets like GIF's and Stickers to make sharing your podcast episodes more eye catching!

4. Join a Podcast Discovery Network like Podmatch

"PodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Hosts And Guests For Interviews."

"Imagine your favorite online dating app but instead of using it for finding dates, you're booking podcast interviews. We use the same(ish) technology for automated matching!" Alex Sanfilippo

5. Lean into Asking and Following Up

• After recording any podcast or livestream show, ask the best way for you to support and on which social channel.
• Ask your connections about podcasts they have been on and to keep you in mind for opportunities and referrals.
• Follow up with proactive support like sharing, commenting, writing a review, creating content around podcasting prior to even being on the podcast.

6. Be Supportive with "High Intention, Low Expectations"

We have so many micro and macro ways to be supportive before and after recording a podcast or live show.

We never know what anyone else is ever going through; therefore, overall being kind and supportive can go a long way for both the host and guest.

Depending on each situation and bandwidth, you might...

• Offer a quick tip or strategy based on your conversation,
• Show interest in what they are working on beyond the podcast,
• Like and Comment on content beyond "trying" to get on a podcast,
• Refer a potential future guest or client,
• Be flexible and understanding when schedules change, or
• Ask how you can keep the host in mind for opportunities.

Sometimes support looks different to everyone who has the bandwidth to give and receive it, but as your stage of life and business allows... even a micro moment of kindness can go a long way.

7. START using your voice today!

We all start at ZERO.

There was a time when every public speaker had to record their first podcast, first livestream, or deliver their first keynote.

For example, my #foxrocks podcast journey went from...

1985 - Pretended to host a radio show in elementary school. I was the DJ, Co-Host, Weather & Traffic Reporter, and the Contest Winning Caller.

1999 - 23 years old commuting to work listening to cassette tapes of the National Speakers Association award winning keynotes soaking up storytelling techniques.

2000's - Delivering hundreds of corporate trainings during 10 years at USG.

2009 - Joined Toastmasters and practiced reducing my umms and ahhhs. I still say filler words, but practicing does help.

2018 - Pretended to record being on my first podcast show because I wanted to be a guest. I dressed up as 3 different people and interviewed myself. I still can't believe I posted this!

4 years ago, I couldn't have predicted what would happen after posting this podcast spoof video on LinkedIn.

Now I can look back and see how all the dots connected to start my journey to recording over 100+ podcast episodes in ONE year.
