This week we talk about referrals: How and why you should be focused on word of mouth.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Hi Newsletter Subscribers, Last week we talked about our new guide on pitching and tracking your outreach.   This week, we're showing you how to multiply your podcasting opportunities without sending more cold emails.   It all comes down to one thing: referrals.   Hosts talk to other hosts. Guests talk to other guests. And the best new bookings often come from a warm introduction. But first let's highlight this week's featured episodes: Episode Promotion – Find & Be a Guest! 🎙️ Looking for a great podcast opportunity? Check out these featured episodes where hosts and guests are looking to connect right now!   🎙️ Why you're not losing weight on a plant based diet 👤 Dr. Clarissa Gannon 🔗 Apply Here 📢 Tags: #beaguest, #collab, #findaguest, #podswap   🎙️ The Secret Solution to Your Autoimmune Condition 👤 Ms. Elizabeth G Yarnell 🔗 Apply Here 📢 Tags: #beaguest   💡 Want to be featured in an episode promotion? Start by creating your own episode listing inside the Podcast Collab Club!   Here's how to tap into the power of referrals: 📢 1. Ask After a Great Interview Once you've had a great experience, send a thank you note—and then ask: "I'm looking to do a few more podcast interviews this quarter. If you know of any other shows that might be a good fit, I'd really appreciate an intro or even just a name." Make it easy and friendly. Most hosts will be happy to help.   🧱 2. Offer Referrals, Too Be the person who shares opportunities first. Hosts remember guests who send them great people. Guests remember hosts who connect them with other shows. Even a simple: "Hey, I know someone who would be a great fit for your show" can open doors for everyone.   🔍 3. Add a Referral Question to Your Flow Hosts: At the end of your interview, ask your guest: "Do you know anyone else I should talk to?" It's a small question that leads to big wins.   💬 4. Keep the Relationship Warm Follow each other. Stay in touch. Comment on their stuff. Share the episode. Referrals happen naturally when you're on someone's radar.   🌟 5. Get Testimonials and Shareables After your episode goes live, ask for a short testimonial you can use in your media kit or pitches. Then return the favor. That way, you both have more credibility and more reasons to recommend each other. 📄 Bonus: Copy & Paste Referral Request Template Not sure how to ask for a referral? Use this message as-is or tweak it for your style:   Hi [Name], I had such a great time on [Podcast Name]—thank you again for having me! I'm currently looking to do a few more guest interviews on aligned shows. If anyone comes to mind who might be a good fit for my topics around [insert your topics], I'd really appreciate an introduction or even just the name. And of course, if I can return the favor, just let me know! Cheers, [Your Name]   Copy, customize, and send after your next great interview. It works. ✉️ Subject Line Options: Here's a few subject lines to try and customize. Adding your name helps the recipient remember you quickly. [Your Name] – Got a Podcast Friend I Should Talk To? [Your Name] – Know Anyone Else I Could Help? [Your Name] – Who Should I Talk to Next? [Your Name] – You Were Awesome… Know Anyone Else Like You? 📌 Reminder: The best podcasting connections don't end when the mic turns off.   ✔️ Say thank you ✔️ Ask for a referral ✔️ Offer a referral ✔️ Share the episode ✔️ Stay connected   Podcasting is about relationships, not transactions. 🌟 It's all about CONNECT, COLLABORATE, and GROW! Want to make this even easier?   Use the Podcast Discovery Database to find aligned shows you'd love to be on. Then pair it with our Dream Podcast Booking Strategy Guide to stay organized, track your outreach, and build momentum through referrals.   Keeping organized helps you keep the momentum going.   Here's to your next collaboration, The Podcast Collaborative Team   P.S. Our next Virtual Mixer is coming up soon! It's the perfect place to meet collaborators and build referral-ready relationships. Come check out the Podcast Collab Club!   Ready to start taking the guesswork out of finding great guests and the legwork out of landing aligned interviews? Come check out the Podcast Collab Club!
