Being a guest on someone’s podcast is a terrific way to build your author platform: It generates shareable content, establishes relationships with the podcast hosts, and connects you with new audiences.
In this webinar, we’ll cover how to use podcasting—specifically, being a podcast guest—before you publish, at book launch, and well beyond. Find out how to make the most of this powerful platform-building strategy.
What We’ll Cover
In a fast-paced 75 minutes, we’ll cover everything, from start to finish:
- How to find and pitch the podcasts you want be a guest on
- How to be a stellar (and welcome) podcast guest and connect with the listeners
- Making the most of that great content after the fact
I’ll also cover changing trends in podcasting (the expanding use of video and “after podcast” gatherings in Clubhouse). I’ll also introduce you to a few tools for finding podcasts and promoting the content after the fact.
Because time is limited, we will not cover details of how to set up and run your own syndicated podcast.

During the past decade, I’ve learned to be very cautious when signing up for informational webinars. In the past, I’ve often been disappointed by the gap between “attendance cost” and the value of the information being shared. This isn’t the case with Anne’s webinars. I always know that the value of the webinar will be worth many times more than the cost (in dollars or in time) of attending.
