Most speakers underestimate the power of podcasts when it comes to getting booked and paid to speak.

Podcasts are not just interviews. They are stages.

In this episode, Sean Douglas explains how professional speakers can use podcast guest appearances to build credibility, create social proof, and attract speaking opportunities. If you want event planners to see you as an authority, podcasts allow you to demonstrate your expertise while expanding your visibility.

Sean also explains why appearing on 50 to 60 podcasts per year can dramatically increase your exposure, why targeting the right podcasts matters more than simply appearing on many shows, and how to structure your podcast appearances so they convert into speaking opportunities.

You will also learn how podcast interviews can be repurposed into content for your marketing, how to turn podcast episodes into social proof for event planners, and why visibility is the foundation of building a successful speaking business.

Podcasts are another stage where you can demonstrate your expertise and attract speaking opportunities.

Speakers should aim to appear on 50 to 60 podcasts per year in their topic or industry.

Target podcasts that align with your speaking topic instead of appearing on random shows.

Podcast appearances create powerful social proof that reinforces your authority.

Always ask podcast hosts if you can include your offer, guide, or call to action in the show notes.

Podcast interviews can be repurposed into short video clips, social media content, and speaker reel footage.

Visibility creates opportunity. The more visible you are, the more likely event planners will discover you.

Speakers must think like marketers who are promoting a speaking business.
