Conditional free route profile
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free path = the newsletter: sign up with name + email and receive 2 emails/week with ~10 podcasts seeking guests; apply via form to pitch yourself. The persistent expert-directory profile ('Get Listed') is paid-only
Requirements
- This lists PEOPLE as expert podcast guests, not products — you appear as a founder/expert with a 'one sheet' profile (bio, topics, 10 interview questions, photo, media appearances)
- Newsletter join form is just Full Name + Email — free
- Directory listing requires a paid plan: Basic ($15/mo billed annually, $20 monthly) or Premium ($33.25/mo annually, $45 monthly) with newsletter rotation and featured placement
Prepare before opening the form
- Name and email for the free newsletter
- For a paid profile: bio, list of topics you can discuss, 10 example interview questions, photo, social links, website link(s), list of previous media appearances
- A guest pitch angle tied to your product/expertise
Workflow
- Free: fill the homepage join form → receive 2 emails/week listing podcasts seeking guests → apply via each listing's form (your email stays hidden)
- Paid: go to https://podcastguests.com/join/ → pick Basic or Premium → register at /register/basic/ or /register/premium/ → build the one-sheet profile at /expert/<slug>
- Podcasters contact you through the profile form
Watch for
- Not a product directory — there is no product-listing surface; value is personal PR leading to podcast appearances
- Annual pricing is the headline — monthly billing costs ~33% more
- Premium members 'get significantly MORE invitations' per site copy — Basic visibility is weaker
- No self-serve free directory listing
What counts as live
Free route: guest-opportunity emails arrive and your applications reach podcasters. Paid route: a public /expert/<slug> profile page exists in the guest directory
Not verified
- Directory link is to your site but dofollow status unverified
- Response rate of podcasters to applications
