Being a guest on a podcast is a great way to build your authority within a particular domain. This can be business-related, but also, for example, in specific interests or specialisms. It is then also a great way to get to know like-less people.

How do you get into a podcast?

Until now, it was very difficult to get invited to a podcast if you didn't already have some fame in 'that world'. Because no matter how inspiring your story or ideas are... it was virtually impossible for a podcaster to find you if you are not in his or her network.

So we were regularly approached by inspiring people asking "How do I get into a podcast?".

And on the other hand with the question "How do I find an inspirational guest?".

With the Springcast community, we solve that problem for everyone. You can sign up as a podcast guest and podcasters can easily find their guests. Handy right!

Signing up as a podcast guest

Below, we describe the process of signing up as a podcast guest and we conclude with some tips for a good profile so that you can be easily found in the directory.

1. Visit the community and register

Visit the Springcast community and create an account for free. In this case, sign up for a podcast guest account.

1. Go to community.springcast.fm
2. Click on add button in the top right corner
3. Select 'Podcast guest' (you can expand later if required)
4. Click on 'Register' above the login form.
5. Fill in your details and create the account.

2. Create an entry

You can create a maximum of 3 types of mentions within our community. We therefore recommend creating a maximum of 1 entry as a podcast guest, unless you have two completely different profiles (e.g. marketing & Formula 1). You can then also list yourself as a particular type of expert or podcaster, for example.

Here are some tips:

1. In short: Explain in 1 sentence who you are and what you like to talk about.
2. Description: Describe in detail about your knowledge, expertise, vision, opinion, etc.
3. Short biography: Describe your relevant background, experience, etc. here. Feel free to do this narratively or simply as a summary.
4. Categories: Select 1 or more categories you want to talk about.
5. Topics: Here you can further specify what you want to talk about.
6. Price range: Do you want to participate for free or do you want a fee. Not everything has to be free 😉
7. Interview experience: Let us know how much experience you have with interviews.
8. Type of interviews: Are you available for podcasts remotely, are you willing to travel or only at your own location?
9. I have...: Please let us know what tools and facilities you have at your disposal.
10. Portfolio: Share the podcast logos of the podcasts you have already appeared in. You can also share three episodes, where a podcaster can get an impression of you as a guest. Link to Spotify, Apple or to a page of your choice.

3. Complete your application

Once you have filled in everything, you can preview your listing in the directory. You can still make changes if you wish.

Are you satisfied with your personal page? Then follow these final steps:

1. Click the green button at the bottom right 'Submit entry'.
2. You will now enter our Checkout menu. You have an account with 3 free entries. So there are no costs. Complete your listing by filling in all the details.
3. Is everything filled in? Then click the green button to place your order.
4. You will now receive an order confirmation in your mailbox.
5. In your account, under 'My listings', you can already see that your listing is up for approval.
6. As soon as we have finally approved your listing, you will appear in the directory as a podcast guest. Of course you will receive an e-mail about this.

Statistics; how often have you been viewed?

Are you curious about how often your profile has been viewed? Because we have 😉 That's why you get a nice dashboard with statistics. In your account, you will find it at your listing under the statistics button.

Congratulations on your listing as a podcast guest

We hope you find many great podcast matches and wish you lots of podcast fun!
