How to Win at Podcasting
Be Memorable on Podcasts
Are You Maximizing the Return on Your Podcast Investment?
It's one thing to show up on a show. Something else to be memorable enough for people to take action based on what you've shared.
You likely have a good idea of what you want to accomplish by appearing on a podcast. Maybe you want to establish your authority, attract new customers, build awareness, or inspire people to embrace an idea.
But have you thought about your strategy that will lead to your win?
Knowing what you want to accomplish is only the beginning. Without a plan of action and resources, you risk investing your time and expertise in a conversation that doesn’t produce the results you’re looking for.
The key on every show is for you to make every appearance move you closer to your objective.
How You Can Be Memorable on Podcasts
The steps you take to be memorable on one podcast will carry through to every show you do in the future.
Being memorable as a podcast guest means that you know exactly who you want to reach and what is important to them. Rather than diluting your message by trying to appeal to everyone, focus your message on those you seek to influence, allowing yourself to communicate authentically and with a clear purpose.
This is why it is important to select a show where your target audience will be listening.
Five Ways to Be Memorable
A little bit of effort will take your podcast journey a long way.
- Know your story. If you can’t tell your own story in a compelling way, how can you expect others to remember it? Be prepared to explain who you are, what you do, and, most importantly, why you do it. Keep your story focused, authentic, and engaging enough to share in two to three minutes.
- Speak in terms of outcomes, not processes. Your listeners probably don’t share your level of expertise, and they don’t necessarily need to understand every step of your process. What matters most is what your work makes possible.
- Use frameworks. Frameworks help people organize, understand, and remember complex ideas. They also demonstrate that you’ve developed a structured approach to your expertise.
- Use real stories versus theories. People connect with experiences they can relate to. Rather than relying on abstract concepts or hypothetical examples, share real situations that illustrate your ideas. Be transparent about challenges, lessons learned, and even failures.
- Provide real value. Give your listeners something useful they can put into practice immediately. Whether it’s a framework, an exercise, or a fresh approach to solving a problem, make it accessible without requiring them to jump through hoops.
