Being featured on a podcast is a way to reach hundreds or even thousands of potential clients in an intimate way.

Because they’re listening to you, it helps you build a connection far quicker than they might experience from a social media post.

You also have the benefit of being seen as a trusted source of information from the person who hosts the podcast.

You’re able to reach their audience, which could potentially mean connecting with tens of thousands of people who had never heard of you before.

And if they like what they hear, they could become customers of yours in the future too.

In this episode you’ll learn the best way to go about pitching yourself as a podcast guest.
