How Podcast Guesting Builds Your Audience Faster Than Ads
from The Podcast Marketing Podcast with Fexingo: Audio Strategy, Audience Growth, and Show Promotion · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore why appearing as a guest on other podcasts can be a more effective audience-growth strategy than buying ads. They break down the math: a typical 30-second ad on a mid-size show costs around $500 and delivers a conversion rate of maybe 1 to 2 percent. A guest appearance on the same show costs nothing but your time, yet can drive a 5 to 10 percent conversion of listeners to your own show. They walk through a real example: a small SaaS podcast that went from 500 to 2,000 downloads per episode in three months purely by sending its host onto 15 other shows. Lucas shares the three-step framework for pitching yourself as a guest, and Luna offers a simple tracking spreadsheet to measure ROI. By the end, you'll know exactly how to turn guesting into your cheapest, highest-converting growth channel. Plus, a quick note on how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #PodcastMarketing #AudienceGrowth #PodcastGuesting #ContentMarketing #PodcastStrategy #MarketingROI #SaaSMarketing #PodcastPromotion #GuestAppearances #PodcastAds #ConversionRate #MarketingTips #BusinessGrowth #DigitalMarketing #AudioStrategy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Marketing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
