How It Works
We reach out to hundreds of curated podcasters and ask them what types of guests they’re looking to feature in upcoming shows. When they tell us, we share that with you and if you fit their criteria, you reach out directly to them and pitch yourself as a guest. It’s that easy!

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to have ready before pitching podcast hosts?
Before you pitch a podcast host, you want to make sure that you have the following in place:
– your own website – podcast hosts will want to link back to your site and they’ll want to learn more about you before they bring you on as a guest to make sure that it’s a good fit for their audience.
– an email newsletter that people can sign up for – you’ve probably heard it before and I’m going to say it again: the money is in the list. Expect to get an influx of newsletter signups from potential customers who want to get to know you or your company a bit more before they buy from you.
– product or service available and ready to purchase – expect to get an influx of traffic to your website from potential customers ready to buy your products or sign up for your services
– patience – podcast guesting is not a one-time thing. It’s an ongoing effort that requires persistence and patience.
Do you provide guidance or help with pitches?
In addition to giving you access to sample pitches that worked in the past, we’re also happy to provide individual feedback on your pitch.
Can I be located anywhere in the world?
Absolutely! You can be located ANYWHERE and as long as you have an internet connection and a good microphone for good sound quality, you can be a podcast guest.
How is Launch Grow Joy PODCAST LEADS different from other podcast guesting services?
There are many podcast guesting agencies out there and many of them charge you a per-month or per-show fee to get you booked as a podcast guest. They do all the pitching for you, which saves you time, but if you have a bit of time and want to save money, PODCAST LEADS is the way to go. We also charge a fee, but our fees are much lower because you do all the pitching. You are also in charge of the direct relationship with the podcast host, ensuring a much smoother podcast guesting experience. You can also choose exactly what shows to be a guest on.
I love the idea, but hate the price. Why do you charge for this?
It takes a few of us HOURS each day to find podcasts, upload them to our database, communicate with the podcast hosts and let you know about them. This is an extremely time-intensive service on our end and we would go broke if we didn’t charge a monthly fee. Our fee is minimal compared to what a podcast guesting agency charges.
Plus, we want to work with entrepreneurs who are committed and willing to invest in their success. We found that only about 20% of people show up and take action for something free, but over 90% show up and take action when they have paid for it. We want PODCAST LEADS to be a hub of success and investing money and time in your business is one way to hold yourself accountable for your own success.
We also understand that not everyone is able to invest for this service right now. While we get that, it’s important for us to work with clients who are willing and able to invest in their business because those are the clients who often see success with publicity. If you are not yet able to invest money for podcast guesting right now, please start with doing your own research and reaching out to podcast hosts on your own.
What form of payments do you accept?
You can pay with Visa, Master Card, American Express and Discover. Unfortunately, we are not able to take PayPal.
What kind of podcasts are included?
You will find podcasts in the following categories during our initial launch (through Summer 2020): entrepreneurship, business, management, small business, e-commerce, Shopify, social media, management, online entrepreneurship, online courses. We will eventually add other categories, including mental health, parenting, fitness, personal growth, and more.
How do I know how popular a podcast is?
There is no way to currently tell how many downloads or subscribers a podcast has, but you can get an idea of its popularity by looking at the date that the first episode aired, as well as the number of reviewes for that podcast in iTunes. The more reviews and the older a podcast is, the more popular a podcast is.
What kind of business owners is the ideal candidate for PODCAST LEADS?
Podcast Leads is a great fit for:
- authors
- online entrepreneurs
- markters
- business owners
- service providers
- experts
- coaches
- consultants
- course creators
If you want to make money from doing what you love, being a podcast guest is for you!
How often do you update your database?
We receive queries on an almost daily basis and will update those as soon as they are available. As soon as something new is added to the membership area, you’ll be notified via email.
Do you guarantee results?
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee results because we have no control over who podcast hosts choose to interview. Pitching yourself as a podcast guest is often a numbers game and the more pitches you make the more likely you are to be a guest. For example, if you only pitch one opportunity per month, your chances of getting featured are much smaller than if you pitch ten opportunities per month. The more “shots” you take, the better your chances are of being a guest.
Did you start this to compete with PR firms?
Not at all! We started this to help entrepreneurs, business owners, course creators and experts who want to take full control of their PR efforts and who might not have a monthly budget to pay a podcast guesting agency.
We value the hard work that other agencies do and our goal is not to put them out of business. Our goal is to make it easy for EVERYONE, whether it’s an individual brand or a PR agency, to get access to the media.
Can I cancel my membership any time?
Podcast Leads is a one-time fee only, so there are no monthly membership charges.
I still have more questions. Who can I contact?
