I've booked clients on 120+ podcasts, and one thing I've learned is that being successful in business doesn't automatically make you a great podcast guest. I've worked with entrepreneurs who have impressive businesses, strong credentials, and plenty of expertise. But getting booked on the right shows takes more than that. You need to build a track record, understand what hosts are looking for, and make it easy for them to say yes. I've not done the most podcasts myself, just about 15, mostly virtual and some in-person, including one in a $3.5M studio at The Wynn in Las Vegas. But since getting clients on podcasts is part of my business, I have put together a guide on how to ACTUALLY get on Podcasts in 2027. Podcast hosts receive an average of 45 guest requests a day, according to the PodMatch report that gives insightful information and is included in the article. That means your pitch needs to do more than introduce you. It needs to show why you're the right guest for that particular audience. In my new article, How To Actually Get On Podcasts In 2027, I break down: - What podcast hosts actually look for in guests - Why your previous podcast appearances matter - How to approach bigger shows - Why the value of a podcast goes beyond views - How to make your pitch stand out The article has also been featured in Miami Herald. If podcasts are part of your visibility strategy, this is worth a read. Read the full article here: laurenstijssen.com/posts/how…

My friend Shontra Powell shared something I think podcasters need to be talking about more. It’s the idea of helping our podcast guests actually succeed once they show up. I know we all focus on finding the best guests for our podcasts, but are we actually doing things that help them maximize the value they can provide? I encourage you to check out the latest episode of Podcasting Made Simple; it’s so good! Thank you, Shontra, for this wisdom! :)

One of my best friends I’ve made in the podcasting space is @JordanPods! She’s an incredible podcaster and educator in the space, but also just a lot of fun! We just had the chance to record an episode together in person about how to make your podcast episodes keep working for you long after they’re initially published. If you’re a podcast guest or host, I encourage you to watch or listen to the latest episode of Podcasting Made Simple because it will really teach you how to keep your episodes relevant for years to come! :) THANK YOU, Jordan, for being such a great guest! I had a blast, and I know this will be super helpful!

The Podcasting Industry Report Specifically for Independent Podcasters for October is now available! Happy to share the report if anyone wants to see it! :) Just let me know.

It's insane how few people know about this tool. Like Tinder for finding podcasts to guest on. Pro tip: only match with shows that have a website. Their show notes often link to you with do-follow backlinks, gold for SEO. podmatch .com Comment "tools".

I'm looking for 100 podcasters who'd like to join a new test I’m running to see whether we can automatically help grow their podcasts! This is version 3 of this growth test... Just over 1k podcasters were part of the first two versions, and both worked very well! (I've included some of their results in the image.) If you’re a podcast host (and weren’t in version 1 or 2 of this test), let me know if you’d be interested in seeing if we can help grow your show! :)
