Finding Your Ideal First Guest

Now is the perfect time to reference back to your podcast mission and description. What names come to mind or who do you think that aligns with your show.

Well where do I find this person? Your first podcast guest can be someone you know that aligns with the show or you can start reaching out to people you don’t know but would like to host and interview.

Here are a few resources to make finding guests easier:

  1. MatchMaker.fm

  2. PodMatch

  3. GoodPods

Other Sources:

You can also use online platforms you may already be apart of to find new and exciting guests, such as, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

A lot of podcasters are open to a “cross promotion” which is another marketing technique for both of you!

Don’t get discouraged if you get a few “no’s” before you get a yes, just keep contacting potential guests and before you know it you’ll have your first interview.
