IS podcast hosting or guesting PART OF CONTENT MARKETING

When you host your own podcast, you are in complete control of the content, which allows you to build your brand and authority over time. 
 
  • Creates a loyal audience: Consistently producing high-quality episodes builds a deep, personal connection with your listeners. This fosters brand loyalty and positions you as a trusted expert in your niche.
  • Generates multiple content assets: A single podcast episode can be repurposed into a wide range of marketing materials. You can create blog posts from transcripts, social media clips from highlights, and email newsletter content, which maximizes your reach across different channels.
  • Boosts brand awareness and SEO: Publishing your podcast on your website, along with optimized show notes and transcripts, provides valuable, searchable content that can improve your search engine rankings and drive organic traffic.
  • Provides networking opportunities: A podcast offers a natural platform to interview other industry experts and influencers. These collaborations not only provide fresh content for your audience but also help you build professional relationships. 

HOW PODCAST GUESTING
SUPPORTS CONTENT MARKETING

Appearing as a guest on other people’s podcasts allows you to leverage an existing audience and instantly build credibility. 
 
  • Taps into established audiences: As a guest, you gain access to the host’s audience, who are already engaged and interested in topics relevant to your expertise. This is an efficient way to reach a new market segment without having to build a platform from scratch.
  • Builds authority and trust: Listeners tend to trust podcast hosts, and by association, they extend that trust to the guests who appear on the show. By sharing your valuable insights, you establish your authority in your field.
  • Drives targeted traffic and leads: Most podcasts include show notes with links to a guest’s website or social media. This drives highly-qualified traffic directly to your platforms, as listeners have already been pre-educated on your expertise.
  • Repurposes content for promotion: After an appearance, you can use clips and mentions from the interview to promote it on your own social media and other channels, amplifying your message to your existing audience.

The synergy between hosting and guesting.
 
Many brands use a combination of both strategies to maximize their marketing efforts. For example, a host can invite a guest to their show, then appear on that guest’s show to cross-promote content and reach each other’s audiences. Both approaches share the core content marketing goal of providing value to attract and retain a defined audience, ultimately driving profitable customer action. 
 
  • Deepens relationships: The intimate nature of audio creates a strong, emotional connection with your audience that is difficult to replicate with written content.
  • Showcases brand values: The long-form nature of a podcast allows you to delve into your company’s mission and values in a more authentic way than advertising.
  • Drives evergreen traffic: Once published, podcast episodes can continue to attract listeners indefinitely, boosting traffic to your website for years to come. 
  • Scalable and efficient: Guesting can be a highly effective use of time, as you can reach many new audiences without the significant time and financial investment required to produce and promote your own show.
  • Accelerates networking: It’s an effective way to meet other experts and influential figures in your field, which can lead to further collaborations and opportunities.
  • Establishes expert status: By sharing valuable insights with a new audience, you reinforce your position as a thought leader in your niche.
