Is it better to be a guest on established podcasts or to start your own show? 🎙️🎤

The answer, of course, is that it depends.

Both strategies have their strengths and weaknesses.

Guesting on shows ...

Strengths:
--Takes less time ⏲️
--Gets guests in front of relevant audiences
--Get shareable content without having to create it

Weaknesses:
--No editorial control
--One-off opportunity
--Takes time to get booked and prepare

Starting your own podcast ...

Strengths:
--Total editoral control
--Develop relationships with guests and audience
--Build a library of content and repurpose into other types

Weaknesses:
--Takes considerable time and effort to build and launch
--Time needed to find and book guests
--Time to promote show and build audience

Both approaches are valid, and they're not mutually exclusive.

Personally, I think the benefits of starting your own show outweigh the costs ... Especially if you're working with a top-shelf podcasting agency! 😜
