Launch Your Podcast Now - If For No Other Reason Than This!

Members of our Everything Podcasting group on Facebook, and entrepreneurs I speak with about our Podcast R.E.A.C.H. System Elite Solutions, tell me they find it easier to get booked on other people's shows than to host their own.

Okay - I get it - when you're on someone else's show, all you have to do is show up for the interview, and (assuming you're a cool person) promote your episode when it goes live.

There's still a misconception that podcasting is difficult, which I assiduously strive to rip to shreds, as I describe here.

Or that there are other ways of getting clients that are less expensive and time-consuming - again, I beg to differ.

What's The Fastest Way To Get Booked On More Podcasts And Stages?

Sending lots of pitch e-mails (which often don't get read) and filling out lots of forms on websites is a lot of work.

It's great to have a one-sheet, but it's really not that likely to open any magic doors. (I've been doing this for 10 years now - trust me in this.)

Agencies can be expensive - and while they CAN be highly effective in leveraging their existing relationships with podcast hosts to get you opportunities the general public may never see, are those opportunities the ones you need and want?

A more powerful way is to leverage the power of reciprocity by providing it upfront.

That's right...

Hosting Your Own Podcast Gets You Bookings You May Otherwise Never Touch With A 10-Foot Pole!

It's pretty simple, really.

Invite someone to be a guest on your podcast - this has a higher "yes" rate than offering free strategy sessions, "hopping on the phone real quick", or - ugh - blasting people's DMs with a bunch of nonsense they're just going to screenshot and laugh at with their friends (more on that in a subsequent edition).

In the Green Room, ask your guest about their podcast if you think it's a fit, and offer to return the favor in a spirit of gratitude.

Your chances are VERY HIGH, for the following reasons:

  • They've already done an interview with you, so they have gotten a good look at your skills and know you'll do a good job for them
  • Because you host your own podcast, it's assumed you know what it takes to be a great guest, and how to behave like a great guest
  • Just having an audience with them in the first place by hosting them on your show and chatting them up in the Green Room says everything your pitch e-mail and one-sheet could never possibly say on your behalf
  • Your pitch letter and one-sheet are no longer acting as the barriers to actually getting booked that they are, in fact, when scanned by overwhelmed hosts and nit-picky gatekeepers!

Now, let us help you quickly master the fastest-growing platform that:

  • Connects you with more ideal-fit business prospects – PLUS meeting planners and conference hosts looking to book great speakers for their seminars and conferences
  • Fills your calendar with conversations that have a virtually 100% show-up rate
  • Puts you in front of new audiences without making you spend money on social media advertising or search engine marketing
  • Gets your tribe to share you with their own followers without making you pay 50% in affiliate fees
  • Delivers you all the clients and customers you need and want to enjoy the revenues and profits you deserve

Smart speakers, authors, trainers, and consultants like you are getting on on this right now!
