So you want to build a platform to promote your book?

Congratulations! You’re right there with a hundred thousand other writers. Maybe a million.

How do you stand out above all the social media noise? How do you get noticed by the kind of people who buy books? People with money. People who read. People with influence.

Spoiler alert: it's not by trying to "out social media" the millions of writers already on social media.

There’s a simple way to get noticed…

Start doing guest appearances on podcasts.

The advantages are huge:

  • People who listen to podcasts are wealthy, educated, and influential. Most importantly, they read books.
  • Podcasters are constantly on the hunt for interesting guests.
  • You can find new audiences with every single podcast.

But how do you do get yourself invited on podcasts? Isn’t that … like really hard?

No, it’s not hard, if you know what you’re doing. In this course, How to Get Booked as a Podcast Guest, you’ll learn everything you need to know.

Everything.
