Episode 135: How to be a guest expert on podcasts with Julie Fry

Have you ever thought about being a guest on someone’s podcast? Would you like to increase your visibility by sharing your expertise on someone’s show but aren’t sure about the best way to reach out to a podcast host?

Then tune into this episode!

This week on the podcast, I interview Julie Fry, who is the founder of Your Expert Guest, a podcast guest strategy and booking agency, where she helps experts share their message on podcasts to reach larger audiences and grow their business. Passionate about creating meaningful connections, Julie supports business owners and experts to leverage podcast guesting as a visibility, brand awareness, and lead generation tool.

In this episode, Julie shares her best tips on what to do and NOT do when you reach out to a podcast guest or when you’re invited for an interview by a host. The key is to put yourself in the shoes of the listeners and think about how you can be a resource for the host and add value to their audience. If you’re a podcast host, Julie also shares valuable advice on how to select your guests and explains why it’s good practice to ask them to rate and review your show. If you want to find out why being a podcast guest should be part of your marketing strategy, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

You will learn…

1. Why guest podcasting is one of the best marketing strategies out there and what the benefits of being a guest on someone’s podcast show are.
2. What to do to become a great podcast guest.
3. What things you shouldn’t do when you’re invited as a guest on someone’s podcast.
