🎙️ Guest Podcasting as Leverage

The Magic of Guest Podcasting
Do you ever wonder what is the best way to generate new business revenue to generate new clients, new customers, and have your marketing done for you? Yes, it is possible and it comes from this magical world of guest podcast interviews.
Honestly, people pay tens of thousands of dollars to get the reach on Facebook, in Facebook paid ads to get what they can get from one guest podcast interview. That is the power. When you go on the right podcast for the right industry that the right audience is listening to.

The Book That Started a Podcasting Revolution
Before we dive in, let me tell you about the book that started a podcasting revolution. Make Every Podcast Want You. It is not just a bestseller. It is a two-time gold medalist, baby.
This book is your ultimate guide to landing dream podcast interviews, building authority authentically and making your voice the one they remember. If you've got a message and a mission, this is your mic drop moment. Grab your copy today in the link below and step into the spotlight that you were born for.

Welcome to Communication Queens
Welcome to the Communication Queens podcast for the visionary leaders, speakers, service providers, and podcasters who are looking to stand out sharing their story.
I'm your host, Kimberly Spencer, former screenwriter turned master communications coach. On this podcast, I'll be coaching you on how to share your own transformation story so that you increase your visibility, influence, and income on podcast interviews. Let's get your voice heard.

The Power of Leverage
Having coached leaders, visionaries, CEOs, and entrepreneurs — all thought leaders in their fields — for nearly nine years now, and in my Crown Yourself coaching business, I can tell you the one difference between leaders who build their brand awareness and their bottom line is this: leverage.
Great leaders understand how to leverage their time, money, and resources to accomplish remarkable feats so that one hour of their time turns into exponential returns. This is why leaders turn to us for guest podcasting.

Four Ways Guest Podcasting Gives You Leverage
Because with guest podcasting, you get to, one: leverage your visibility. When you appear as a guest on a podcast, you gain access to an existing, engaged audience that the podcast host has cultivated over time.
This audience is often highly receptive to the host's recommendations and insights. In fact, it's reported that 42% of millennial podcast listeners report purchasing — 42%! That's nearly half of millennial podcast listeners report purchasing products and services that the host recommends.
There is so much fat. And then you get to have that additional social proof of showing your own audience, “Hey, this guy over here, Mr. Podcast Host, thinks I'm a genius. So I'm gonna share with my audience who I'm building my reputation and social proof with. They think I'm smart. You think I'm smart? Great. Awesome. Yes.” You think I'm a good person that you build, know, like, and trust with.
And number four is podcast guesting provides you leverage with your relationships. So guest podcasting opens the doors for valuable networking and collaboration opportunities.
Like I said, like Lzzy and I just did a podcast interview and bam! Referral opportunities. You can also build meaningful relationships with podcast hosts and their communities, potentially leading to future partnerships, joint venture speaking engagements, and sometimes even a one-to-one client sort of transactional transformational relationship.

Build Advocacy, Not Just Sales
Now, I am not the type of person that says you need to go on a podcast interview with the intention of converting the host. Please do not. That is not why they're having you on their show.
You can go on with having the host become an advocate for your brand, for your business.

The Ripple Effect of Relationships
In my book Make Every Podcast Want You: How to Become So Radically Interesting You'll Barely Keep From Interviewing Yourself, I share about the experience that we had with my two friends, Alan and Kevin, over at Next Level University, which is a global top 100 personal development podcast.
They came on and taught a class for our Communication Queens. And in the class they shared about Mike Kim, who wrote the book You Are the Brand. Now, I share in my book about them sharing about Mike Kim, who wrote the book You Are the Brand.
They shared not only on their own podcast — because Mike came on as a guest — they shared about him a few other times on other podcast episodes because they were so blown away by his interview.
They then shared with him with our community — I — and which is now in our course on how to get booked on a global top 100 masterclass. I then shared about that experience, about them sharing about Mike Kim in my book. And now I'm sharing about that experience and interview, even though I have not yet met Mike Kim.
But now he's had seven, at least seven visibility opportunities, only one of which he showed up for. But that was because he built a relationship and dazzled two podcasters. Now that's extraordinary.

Guest Podcasting as a Strategic Tool
This is how we've had some of our clients go on to book speaking gigs with Microsoft, Google, keynotes at convention centers, because podcast guesting is a strategic approach that enables you to leverage a platform and audience to achieve your marketing and branding goals.
It is a powerful tool in the arsenal of any leader who aims to maximize their impact and reach a wider audience.
