A Podcast Guest Proposal – The How To
I’ve been on over 100 podcasts as both a guest and interviewer. I love being a guest because I can “borrow” the host’s audience. I get eyeballs and links back to my website and LinkedIn profile.
To be a guest you need to have something to say, hopefully different. In my case I have a new book to promote. How To Build A Kick-Ass Advertising Agency. Yes, check it out.
