If you’re a coach, author, or entrepreneur, this episode is your blueprint for turning the mic into money.
Why Podcasting Is the New Media Goldmine
Media exposure has changed. Once upon a time, TV spots and print features dominated the PR world, but today, podcasts are leading the way in authentic and impactful visibility.
Beth explains why podcasts offer such a unique opportunity for business owners:
- Intimacy and Connection: Listeners form a deeper bond with podcast guests due to the conversational and personal nature of the format.
- Targeted Audiences: Unlike general media, niche podcasts allow you to speak directly to your ideal clients.
- Evergreen Value: Podcast episodes can deliver traffic and leads long after they’ve aired, giving you consistent ROI.
The Proven Steps to Turn Podcast Appearances Into $10K
Beth’s approach focuses on intention, strategy, and execution. Here’s her step-by-step guide to maximize your podcast visibility:
1. Set Clear Intentions
Ask yourself: What is the purpose of this podcast appearance? Is it to promote your services, drive traffic to your website, or build credibility?
Beth emphasizes the need to start with intention so every word you speak serves a purpose. “Your goal isn’t just to be interesting—it’s to be intentional,” she says.
2. Identify the Right Podcasts
Not all podcasts are created equal. To ensure you’re reaching your target audience, Beth recommends:
- Researching niche shows that align with your business goals.
- Prioritizing podcasts where your ideal clients are already listening.
- Avoiding vanity appearances on “big name” shows that don’t translate into revenue.
For example, if your goal is to land high-ticket coaching clients, focus on shows tailored to entrepreneurs, not general audiences.
3. Craft Your Message to Resonate and Convert
Beth shares a game-changing tip: “Drop breadcrumbs to your offer throughout the episode.”
- Start with Stories: Begin with personal, relatable stories that capture attention.
- Show Value: Share actionable advice that makes listeners think, I need more of this.
- Plant the Seed: Mention your services or free resources in a way that feels natural and conversational.
Beth uses her FAME Formula to ensure her clients confidently deliver a message that converts listeners into paying customers.
4. Leverage the Power of Follow-Up
The podcast appearance is just the beginning. Here’s how Beth extends the life of each interview:
- Post about the episode multiple times (before, during, and after it airs).
- Share direct links with your audience via email and social media.
- Send follow-up emails to potential clients, linking to the episode.
One of Beth’s clients, Heidi, used this follow-up method to secure four sales calls and close $14,000 in revenue within days. All it took was 12 minutes and 10 personalized emails.
5. Track and Optimize Your Results
To know what works, you need to track your efforts. Beth advises keeping a spreadsheet of:
- Podcasts you’ve been on.
- Leads or clients generated from each appearance.
- What messaging or strategy resonated most.
This data allows you to refine your podcast approach for maximum ROI.
Overcoming the Mindset Blocks to Visibility
One of the biggest barriers Beth sees is a lack of confidence. Many entrepreneurs freeze at the thought of pitching themselves or speaking publicly.
Beth’s advice? Shift your mindset. Instead of thinking, Why me? ask, Why not me?
She also recommends a pre-interview mantra:
“I am the expert they need to hear today.”
By showing up confidently and intentionally, you transform podcasting into a strategic tool to grow your brand and your bank account.
Real-Life Examples of $10K Podcast Success
Beth’s clients have turned single podcast episodes into five-figure opportunities using her methods. A few highlights include:
- Heidi: Closed $14K in revenue in two days by strategically sharing her podcast appearance with leads.
- Lifestyle Experts: Secured TV correspondent roles and consistent exposure by leveraging podcast credibility.
- Coaches & Authors: Landed new high-ticket clients and built lasting relationships with podcast hosts.
Beth’s proven system ensures that each podcast appearance isn’t just exposure—it’s an opportunity to grow your revenue and your influence.
The Importance of Telling Stories
Beth believes stories are the secret sauce to impactful podcast appearances. Whether it’s your origin story, client transformations, or lessons learned, stories connect you to the audience on an emotional level.
Her advice:
- Develop 3–5 go-to stories that tie back to your offers.
- Share your “why” and the personal moments that shaped your business.
- Don’t be afraid to show vulnerability—relatable stories build trust and credibility.
Beth’s own story of accidentally pausing her opt-in during a national TV appearance is both relatable and impactful. It highlights her commitment to helping others avoid costly media mistakes.
