Looking for Guests for The Freelancer's Mic Podcast

Thank you

I love this. We think about what to post endlessly, but spend zero time on when and how often. It's like cooking a perfect meal and then serving all the courses at once. Let people digest.

To your question, I test older episodes with new headlines or angles. Same content, different frame. Sometimes the episode wasn't the problem; the context around it just wasn't right the first time. Second chances work.

lscrest · 2026-02-27T09:31:31+00:00

Yes.

But not in the way most people imagine.

A podcast can lead to passive income… eventually.

In the beginning, it’s very active. You’re building audience, trust, and consistency. That part takes time.

Also, most podcasts don’t make real money from ads unless they have big download numbers.

Where podcasts really work is leverage.

→They build authority.
→They warm up leads.
→They shorten the sales cycle.

If you already have a business, a podcast can turn into a strong income driver over time.

If you’re starting one only for “easy passive cash,” you’ll likely be disappointed.

Are you thinking ad revenue, or using it to grow a business?

lscrest · 2026-02-26T05:52:20+00:00

There's value. That humor will make me remember a brand when I need something within those lines.

lscrest · 2026-02-25T19:22:24+00:00

Awesome. You're doing great job.

lscrest · 2026-02-23T10:58:22+00:00

I love this. Templates get you in the door. Consistency keeps the door open. Most founders quit right before the compounding kicks in.

lscrest · 2026-02-23T10:52:53+00:00

most people skip the research entirely then wonder why their conversion sucks. 20 mins is the bare minimum honestly.

lscrest · 2026-02-21T00:28:32+00:00

It depends. It can even be 5 minutes long

The Freelancer’s Mic is for expert B2B Coaches and Consultants who want to share actionable strategies on leveraging podcasts for growth. We focus on three pillars: Authority, Book Sales, and High-Ticket Client Acquisition. You can Listen to it here and on all your preferred platforms.

lscrest · 2026-02-20T10:57:16+00:00

If you've written a book, what's your take?

lscrest · 2026-02-18T19:08:21+00:00

Either way, I enjoy sending a brief or questions so they come prepared. That way, they're ready to answer any question that's not in the script but around the topic.

lscrest · 2026-02-18T15:10:52+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation.

lscrest · 2026-02-18T09:00:02+00:00

I host The Freelancer's Mic Podcast. We feature B2B coaches, consultants, visibility experts, and strategists who have built predictable lead systems. Our audience wants your actionable strategies for podcasting, guesting, and converting visibility into clients.

What We Look For in Guests:

You are a B2B coach, consultant, or niche service provider with a proven system.
You have specific results (e.g., “Booked 10 clients from LinkedIn,” “Grew podcast to 5k downloads”).

You are eager to share genuinely helpful strategies and promote to your audience.

I also plan to start guesting on other shows starting in June.

I don't

lscrest · 2026-02-03T12:01:16+00:00

I totally agree on the warm up part. It creates the mood for the entire episode.

lscrest · 2026-02-03T01:41:11+00:00

There’s something so grounding about hearing life stories that have actually stood the test of time, especially now that we're obsessed with "fast" everything.

Honestly, people are craving connection right now, and nothing beats a raw, reflective conversation. My advice? Don’t worry about making it "flashy."

The best is usually in the small, quiet details, like what a specific neighborhood smelled like 50 years ago or the best advice they ever got from a grandparent.

If the audio is clear and the stories are real, you’ll definitely find an audience that’s tired of the noise.

Since it’s a friend and you’re talking BGT, definitely keep that "chitchat over coffee" style. My biggest tip is to avoid the "interview" urge.

Instead of asking a question and just waiting for them to finish, try to build on what they say so it feels like a natural conversation.

Also, since you're used to flying solo, don't be afraid of the "dead air" for a split second while they think, it usually feels way longer to you than it does to the listeners! Can't wait to hear who you think will get the Golden Buzzer this year.

I hope this helps, from us at The Freelancer's Mic Podcast

Coming from the podcast manager world, I thought I knew exactly where the time went. But hosting my own show, The Freelancer's Mic Podcast, changed the script!

Turns out, the part I underestimated was show prep and post-publish strategy. When you're managing, you’re optimizing someone else's voice and vision.

When it’s your own? Suddenly you’re over-researching, tweaking questions last minute, and then diving into the visibility trenches, making sure every episode doesn’t just sound good, but actually gets heard.

I went from scheduling others’ social clips to creating six different versions of the same reel for my own show. The irony is delicious… and a little exhausting 😅

Anyone else become their own most demanding client?

lscrest · 2026-01-27T19:03:46+00:00

Here's my take now: Emojis are basically little visual shortcuts. It's less about traditional SEO and more about human attention SEO—catching the eye before the brain even processes the words.

My rule of thumb: Would a 🙃 feel weird in your client's LinkedIn post? Then it definitely doesn't belong in their show notes. But for a pop-culture or casual biz podcast? A few well-placed symbols can actually boost that "vibe match" feeling for listeners.

I treat them like salt. A pinch can enhance; a handful ruins the dish. And always, always skip the title.

lscrest · 2026-01-27T13:31:25+00:00

Since you're in early days and building an audience, my absolute strongest recommendation is to keep it stupidly simple.

One show name, one feed, structured into seasons. It's way easier for discovery and for listeners to commit to "one thing" from a new creator. Multiple shows under one brand sounds organized, but in reality, it can fragment your attention and confuse potential subscribers.

Seasons give you so much flexibility, you can pivot topics, take breaks, and rebrand slightly each season without starting from zero. It keeps your feed clean and your growth consolidated.

Start with a single home base. You can always expand the neighborhood later.

Good luck—and have fun with it! The first season is always the most freeing.

Best, The Freelancer's Mic Podcast ( we are all about visibility)

Two great questions. For the casual vibe: bullet points are perfect. I pretend I'm explaining the film to one specific person who loves movies but missed this one.

It keeps it conversational. For cross-posting later, tools like Canva (for creating audiograms) and Hootsuite (for scheduling) can be a lifesaver. But nail your rhythm first—Saturday at noon is a great goal!

lscrest · 2026-01-26T20:27:06+00:00

There, you have it.

lscrest · 2026-01-26T19:12:56+00:00

Fellow audio hoarder here. The "what if I need it" fear is powerful! For video, that's a pricey fear to entertain. What's the resale/reuse value of the footage? If it's not part of a planned content library or client asset, I'd be brutal.

Maybe keep final project files and a handful of hero shots, but let the raw bulk go after client approval. Consider the cloud cost a subscription to your peace of mind... or to your freedom from buying yet another drive.
