Real Estate Podcasts - Scam or Real??

Real Estate Podcasts - Scam or Real??

Hey All, 

I've been inundated with like automated messages or emails to appear on a podcast. The majority of them seem like auto responses, AI, drip email campaigns or just like a third party scheduling service that some podcasts or lead gen companies are paying for. 

I've been on two recently & actually enjoyed it so wouldn't mind doing more as a guest, but how do you discern from the good and bad.

With my two so far, one was great & then the second one was an interesting experience to say the least. How do you usually go about it, because the one that went well in my opinion was a brand new podcast but the established one was just run not the greatest and could have probably been avoided.

I have gotten inundated recently with requests from new podcasts launching which I know longer due as they let everyone and anyone on them and do not have a following so I do not think it is best use of time for my business. They are fun usually but I would just warn people that not all podcasts are good to be on, especially if it turns out the sponsor was a scammer.

    I've been on a few myself.  I too enjoyed them and got great responses from them.  How do you know which ones are legit?  After you are invited, visit the site and check out the previous ones.

    Like anything else on here, jump over to Linked In to look up the person's background. If they've got a long time background in the field, then listen. If they were doing something totally different and then all of a sudden became a "subject matter expert", turn it off. I see something interesting on here and jump over to look them up often. Sometimes it's good and I want to connect. Other times its obvious they are pretenders. The background, experience, and resume are everything.

    Podcasts are just another sales platform.  That's their purpose/function.  The content cannot be deemed accurate to anyone other than the person presenting it.  If you enjoy them, tune in.  I would prefer to run my business.
