3 Ways to Turn Any Podcast Appearance into a Magnet for Opportunity

Published about 2 months ago • 2 min read

Welcome, Free Spirits

You know that feeling when you’ve just wrapped a podcast interview and think, “That was great… but now what?”

Being a podcast guest isn’t just about showing up and answering questions—it’s a marketing opportunity, a networking moment, and a way to leave a lasting impression on thousands of listeners you’ve never met.

Here are 3 ways to maximize your podcast guest appearance so you can get more impact, visibility, and connection out of it:

1. Promote it like you own it.​
Once the episode is live, share it everywhere—your email list, LinkedIn, Instagram Stories, TikTok, you name it. Don’t just post the link once and forget it. Create snippets, quotes, and behind-the-scenes moments to stretch the life of the interview.

2. Show up as the “go-to” in your niche.​
Prepare a few strong, memorable points or stories you want listeners to remember you for. This way, even if they forget your name, they’ll remember the expertise and value you brought—and they’ll want to find you again.

3. Follow up after the mic goes off.​
A great conversation shouldn’t end when the recording stops. Follow up with the host, share how much you appreciated the experience, and keep the relationship alive. Those connections can lead to collaborations, referrals, and future guest spots.

“You don’t have to wait for the ‘right time’ – you create it. The life you want is built by the choices you make today, not the circumstances you’re stuck in.”
~ Bianca Lynch, episode #112 of Flying Upstream

Together, let’s keep questioning, keep exploring, and above all – keep flying upstream.

With gratitude,
Kristyn & Luisa
