Why Your Podcast Guesting Strategy is Failing
Imagine you’ve finally landed a spot as a guest on a popular podcast. You’re excited and pour all your effort into the interview. But once it airs, you notice something strange: there’s no significant boost in your audience or client inquiries. What went wrong?
Your podcast guesting strategy might be failing because you’re treating it like a one-time deal instead of a way to build relationships. Many entrepreneurs work hard to get on shows but then drop off the radar after the episode airs, missing out on the chance to make the most of their appearance.
You need to do more than just show up. Engaging with the host’s audience and reusing the content in smart ways is key. If your show notes are boring or your episode title is vague, people might skip over it, even if you shared great info.
Also, if you don’t share and promote the episode on your own social media with your branding, it can look messy and inconsistent. Ask for the raw audio and video so you can create your own branded content. This helps you get more visibility and reach more people. Build ongoing relationships, repurpose content smartly, and actively engage with new audiences to succeed.
