Home Based Business - Get Free Publicity Via Guest Podcasts

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

Being a guest on podcasts and Internet radio shows is a great way to get free publicity for your home based business. This was not always the case. However nowadays, celebrities such as best-selling authors, sports stars, and business tycoons use these shows to get free publicity. If you want to know why, check out these seven reasons:

 

1. Their listeners are loyal. People tune in because they are interested in the topic. This means they can turn into customers.

 

2. In traditional radio shows, people are often involved with other things. You may have only their partial attention, if any. A lot of listeners tune in because they enjoy the host but if they have no interest in your topic, they will change stations. And if they're driving while the show is on, they won't be able to write down your contact info. A lot of great opportunities are lost this way.

 

3. These shows offer a great way to practice, especially the newer ones that may have a smaller audience. It won't cause that much damage to your reputation if you make a mistake on one of these shows.

 

4.  These shows tend to have longevity. Although many broadcast radio shows do archive their interviews on the Internet, many do not. Those that do archive them, often keep them for a limited time.  Podcasts tend to stay on the web for years. Listeners can also download the shows to their hard drive or MP3 player.

 

5. People who are interested in your product or service can be led to the shows you appear on when they search for certain key words. These people are already pre-sold on listening to you.

 

6. You could be delightfully surprised. If you have written an book, for example, an editor at a publishing house may hear you on the show and offer you a book deal. Or, a member of the listening audience might be so impressed with you that they invite  you to speak at their next big meeting or convention.

 

7. Many of these types of shows have medium to large audiences. Some have 100,000 listeners all over the world. That can turn into a lot of free publicity.

 

Now take a minute to image what this free publicity could add to your home based business.

 

Zero Cost. Zero Obligation.
