    Episode 46: The Guesting Strategy That Has Skyrocketed My Podcast Visibility

    In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m sharing one of the most fun and effective strategies I’ve tested this year: the podcast swap (with a strategic twist). Forget the traditional “I’ll go on yours if you come on mine.” This is a smarter approach that allows you to record one collaborative episode, add your own intro/outro, and publish it on both feeds. Here’s why this works: You're reaching new, aligned audiences in an authentic way—without chasing algorithms or overbooking your calendar. One recording. Two pieces of content. Double the visibility. Inside this episode, I cover: What a podcast swap really looks like (and how it’s different from a regular guest interview) How it builds stronger connections and drives organic listenership My 3-step framework for pitching, recording, and publishing the swap Whether or not you should release the episode on the same day How to keep it casual and collaborative while still being strategic Timestamps: 1:45 - Importance of guest podcasting3:15 - Targeting ideal podcast audiences5:20 - Success stories from recent guest spots7:45 - Explanation of a podcast swap10:10 - Benefits of podcast swaps12:50 - Steps to prepare for a podcast swap This strategy has been lighting me up lately, and the results have been amazing.
