If you’re trying to grow your business through podcast tours but feel stuck sending cold pitches that never get replies, you’re not alone.

For a bit, I followed the “traditional” podcast guest speaking advice: build a media kit, write long email pitches, attach your one-sheet, and hope a host responds.

Spoiler alert: most of them didn’t.

In this post, I’m sharing the exact DM strategy that helped me book 5x more podcast guest interviews and build real relationships with podcast hosts — without a PR team, fancy software, or awkward cold emails.

You’ve got the message. You’ve got the content. But what you really need… is more eyeballs.

It means leveraging podcast guesting as your shortcut to sustainable visibility.

If you’ve ever asked that question, you are so not alone. In fact, it’s probably the most common hesitation I hear from entrepreneurs who want to grow their business—but feel paralyzed when it comes to putting their voice out there.

Here’s the good news: You don’t have to be naturally confident or extroverted to show up as a guest on podcasts. You just need the right mindset shifts, prep tips, and a reminder that your voice deserves to take up space in your business.

Let’s break it down…

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to constantly post on social media, show up on stories, create reels, and engage daily just to be seen — you're not alone. For many entrepreneurs and solopreneurs, staying visible online can feel like a full-time job that drains creativity and time.
