Unlocking the Hidden Marketing Power of Podcasting
During these tumultuous times of adapting to shoestring budgets and reverting to guerrilla marketing tactics, the million dollar question is “How do I get more for less?” We’re happy to share that your answer might just be podcasting.
In his article about guest podcasting, Neil Patel says:
“Appearing as a guest on a podcast not only puts you in front of a loyal group of followers, it also opens the door on a whole new set of individuals who prefer to listen to their content.”
And this is just one benefit!
Why be a podcast guest?
While over 79% of US adults know what podcasting is now, only 22% had ever heard of it in 2006. And it’s still growing exponentially!

There are easy, fast ways to dip your toes into the podcast pond that deliver huge dividends…like being a guest on another podcast.
