Tips:
- A podcast is more than just content marketing. Podcasting helps you create relationships.
- Authors can use podcasts to attract more clients, be seen as the respected leader in your field, connect with influencers, create content for your next book, or deliver content from your current book.
- Creating a “Dream 100” list helps you be deliberate about the people you want to build relationships with.
- Relationships used to be a product of coincidence – people in your company or people you went to college with. Now you can have control over who you meet so you can grow your network.
- The biggest mistakes authors can make with podcasts is NOT starting sooner. They spend more time thinking about buying mic instead of deciding which people to invite to be a guest.
- A podcast breaks through the noise of marketing because you start the relationship by giving, not by taking.
- You can build relationships with successful people because they want to be on podcasts.
