Does being a guest on other influencer podcasts produce good quality leads? We received a few requests recently and trying to figure out how effective it actually is.

It definitely helps in creating awareness and disseminate information about the founders and product/service. If done well, it can be a great inbound.

@sodaman89 SmartBranding, Sunday Pyjamas, and few local/niche ones. 75 LinkedIn follows, sub-100 website visits @ 15% conversion. Not great, but it gave the RoI on time invested.

@sherryxena I'd assume that the influence of the person hosting makes a difference. Care to share your experience?

We used in the past and is very powerful to connect with other makers/business. It's like a friendly opportunity to talk about your product or service, avoiding the direct sell. Also is super useful for link building 🙂
