3 Ways to Get Booked on Other People’s Podcasts

While you might not have the ability to land an interview on Tim Ferriss’ podcast, it’s still possible to locate top-tier podcasts within your industry which will help you gain some huge brand publicity.

Are you prepared to get booked? Here is how you can become a guest on a podcast and begin to rake in the benefits.

Use MatchMaker.fm

MatchMaker.fm is a fairly new platform that offers the podcast industry easy and free connections to guests and shows. With its east functionality and simple search, it isn’t any no wonder that it has been dubbed the ‘Tinder for podcasters.’

What’s the best thing about this platform? It is free for both guests and podcasters; therefore, there currently isn’t any subscription plans or sign-up costs. For podcasters who want to promote their business or grow their personal brand, MatchMaker.fm introduces an easy and free way to reach niche communities and turbocharge their marketing efforts.

Use Audry.io

On Audry.io, you can find the connections and community you need. Whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned podcaster, collaboration is critical to hitting your goals. That is why at Audry, they bring hosts together to assist them in growing their audiences and finding new methods of communicating.

Use PodcastGuests.com

This service is fantastic, and places podcast hosts and producers in touch with relevant and high-quality guests.

It’s possible to use PodcastGuests to both find podcasts searching for guests and to source guests for your own podcast.

Just create a strong profile, get the paid version, and you will be promoted in their email of 14,000 subscribers.

Create Your Pitch

By this time, you should have about 30 to 50 options on your prospective podcast list. It is now time for you to craft your pitch!

You really have to sell yourself as an amazing podcasting candidate. Consider what value you bring to the table that you can offer their audience.

What subjects could you discuss which would be of particular interest to a podcaster, as well as help to drum up publicity? What makes you stand out in your particular industry?

Avoid being salesy — instead, pitch them about what you bring to the table and why you believe their audience might be interested in what you can discuss. You also should mention how you’ll help to market their podcast around your social media network.

Be Active on Social

It might take time to be noticed, especially if you’re fairly new in your industry.

You will want to begin networking with influencers and podcasters on the internet to start building these connections. Add them on your social media platforms, engage with their social posts, and do whatever you can to get picked up on their radar.

Master your Follow Up

Once you have sent the pitch to your list of podcasters, you should follow up according to this schedule: three days, seven days, and thirty days before you mark them as “not interested” on a spreadsheet.
