Closing: Finding the Best Podcast Booking Agencies for You
Each potential podcast guest has different needs, different ambitions, and different funding. Before you start your search for the best podcast booking agency for you, take a minute to evaluate. What is your budget? Do you just need guidance or do you need the agency to do the outreach for you? Who is your target audience? How do you want to integrate being a podcast guest with your other marketing efforts? 🤔
You may find that you want a podcast agency that takes care of other podcast work beyond booking.
Then, as you start to reach out to agencies, be sure to ask the right questions. Have they ever successfully booked with the kind of podcasts you want to be on? How do they get their data on listener demographics and number of listens? Most podcast booking agencies bill by the month- what exact do they offer in that month?
