People think that booking 30 podcasts in 30 days seems difficult, time-consuming and for some, even impossible.
But, that’s because they’re looking at this situation the completely wrong way.
You see, most people view booking podcasts as a popularity contest — where only the “big names” with massive followings get invited.
The truth? Podcast hosts are DESPERATELY searching for guests who can deliver specific value to their audience. They don’t care about your follower count nearly as much as they care about the unique insights you can provide.
What if I told you that booking 30 podcasts in 30 days is actually a simple numbers game combined with a proven outreach formula?
Work Smarter, Not Harder: The Two Paths to 30 Bookings
Most people think podcast bookings require endless cold emails into the void. But there are actually TWO approaches to hitting your 30-show goal:
OPTION 1: The Cold Outreach Marathon
- Average acceptance rate with generic pitches: 5% (1 in 20)
- Average acceptance rate with my RESULT+METHOD formula: 20-30% (1 in 3-5)
- Math: You’ll need to pitch 90-150 shows to book 30 episodes
OPTION 2: The Smart Targeting Approach 👑
- Go where hosts are ACTIVELY SEEKING guests
- Average acceptance rate: 40-60% (sometimes higher!)
- Math: You’ll need just 50-75 targeted pitches to book 30 episodes (that’s only 1-2 per day!)
The second approach cuts your workload in HALF.
Fish Where The Fish Are Biting
Here’s the game-changing insight most “experts” miss:
Thousands of podcast hosts are DESPERATELY seeking guests right now in places you’re probably ignoring.
My favorite gold mine? Facebook groups like “Need A Guest” with nearly 42,000 members – all podcast hosts and potential guests connecting daily.
You’ll see posts like this constantly:
That post alone had 121 comments from potential guests. But here’s where you gain your edge…
Standing Out In a Sea of Comments
When you see a post like this with 121 comments, the question becomes: How can I be in the top 10% that actually get noticed?
My winning formula combines:
- The RESULT+METHOD formula makes hosts instantly see your value
- A personalized visual element that creates a human connection
Here’s exactly how I do it:
- Take a quick selfie holding a handwritten note with the host’s name and podcast
- Structure my comment using the RESULT+METHOD formula
- Reply within 3 hours of the original post (timing matters!)
For example:
“Hi Sarah! I help women have a $50K minimum launch of a new product with NO audience, in only 3 weeks (from nothing to cash in pocket). My approach focuses on leveraging strategic partnerships instead of exhausting social media hustling. I’ve helped over 50 women build 6-figure businesses using this exact method and would love to share these strategies with your Unforget Yourself audience! Let’s book a time – what do you say?!”
This approach works because:
- The selfie proves you’re not mass-copying responses
- The RESULT+METHOD formula immediately communicates the value
- You’re focusing on what their audience gains (not your credentials)
The 30-Day Smart Booking Calendar
- DAY 1: Create a template version of your response to podcast requests
- DAY 2: Join 1-3 “Need A Guest” type Facebook Groups
- Day 3-30: Respond to 3+ Podcast Guest Requests per day
Increase output (or usually, tweak your comment response) if you’re not getting the results you’re looking for.
This is just the tip of the iceberg
