What is PodMatch?

PodMatch is a platform that connects podcast hosts with potential guests. Think of it as a matchmaking service for podcast hosts to guests. By creating a profile on PodMatch, you can highlight your expertise, suggest interview questions and even share a video introduction. The platform then matches you with podcasts that align with your profile, making it easier (and faster and cheaper!) to find opportunities to share your insights.

How to Use PodMatch to Become a Podcast Guest

1. Create a compelling profile by having a professional, engaging bio (hint: if you don't have one, this is a great task for an experienced Virtual Assistant), share suggested topics and interview questions and showcase how you can add value to someone's show.

2. Use PodMatch's search feature to find podcasts that align with your professional expertise. Alternatively, use the algorithm. PodMatch’s system suggest podcasts based on your profile, increasing the chances of a copasetic fit.

3. Take 1-2 hours to prepare by listening to previous episodes, outlining key talking points and rehersing your responses to potential questions to build confidence and ensure clarity during the interview.

Benefits of Being a Podcast Guest

2. Podcast episodes are often transcribed and published online, providing the SEO benefit of backlinks to your website and improving your search engine visibility.

3. Build trust by your audience hearing your voice and stories which can create a more personal connection with the audience, building trust and loyalty.

3. Engaging with podcast hosts and their networks can open doors to new relationships and collaborations.

4. Repurpose podcast episodes on your social media, website, or newsletter. This provides valuable content for your audience and extends the reach of your appearance. You (or your Virtual Assistant) can also create derivitive content by using key points from your podcast interviews to create blog posts, videos, or other content formats.
