How to Create a Successful (B2B) Business-to-Business Podcast


Listen Later

We’re diving into Business-to-Business (B2B) podcasting. Unlike traditional podcasts aimed at consumers, a B2B podcast focuses on building relationships with potential clients, collaborators, and industry leaders. Whether you’re a solopreneur or part of a larger team, this episode will show you how to create a podcast that works for your business.

Steps to Launch Your B2B Podcast

  1. Identify Your Ideal Guests

    • Make a list of people you’d love to do business with. Think potential clients, collaborators, or decision-makers in your industry.
    • The goal is to highlight their expertise and stories, not promote your business directly.
    • Pick a Relevant Theme

      • Choose a topic that aligns with your guests’ interests and positions them as experts. Examples:
      • Set Up Your Studio

          • Create a Follow-Up Process

            • Plan how you’ll stay in touch with guests after the recording:
            • Provide a Media Kit

              • Help your guests promote the episode with a media kit, including graphics, quotes, and links they can easily share with their network.
              • 📝 This week’s challenge:

                1. List 10 people you’d love to interview on your B2B podcast.
                2. Brainstorm a podcast name and theme that highlights your potential clients’ expertise.
                3. Choose whether to go virtual or in-person, and start assembling your studio.

                4. B2B podcasting is more than just a marketing tool—it’s a relationship builder and lead generator. By creating a space for your guests to shine, you’re positioning yourself as a trusted partner and opening doors for collaboration.
