Why Rise25 is Different
We don’t just get you bookings—we get you the right
bookings with the right preparation and support.
Deep Research & Vetting

Relationship-First Approach
We’re not spray-and-pray. We build genuine connections with hosts, turning podcast appearances into long-term referral partnerships.
Direct-Response Copywriting
Our pitches are crafted by experienced copywriters, not templates. Each outreach is personalized to the host’s show, guest history, and audience.
Interview Prep & Coaching
Optional briefings help you understand the show format, audience, and key talking points so you deliver maximum value.
Strategic Show Selection
We target shows where your expertise and the host’s audience intersect. Download numbers aren’t public, but niche, engaged audiences often outperform.
We Handle Logistics
From outreach to scheduling handoff, we manage the heavy lifting. You just show up, deliver value, and build relationships.

Show Selection & Quality
Deeply vetted shows matching your ICP—active, relevant, engaged audiences
Time-consuming research; hard to assess quality without insider knowledge
Often prioritizes reach over fit; generic media lists

~60 minutes per interview; we handle all research, outreach, and logistics
10+ hours per booking for research, outreach, follow-ups, scheduling
Low time burden but less control over messaging and fit

Direct-response copywriting; every pitch tailored to host's show and audience
Limited by your own writing skills and time constraints
Template-based; often generic and low-conversion
Interview Prep & Support
Optional briefings, talking points, and coaching to maximize value
On your own to research and prepare
Minimal to none—you're expected to show up ready
Relationship Building
We nurture host relationships; many become referral partners or clients
Possible but requires consistent follow-up and relationship management
Transactional; rarely builds lasting partnerships
Expected Outcomes
Pipeline growth, referrals, authority, SEO, repurposable content, measurable ROI
Highly variable; depends on your research, outreach, and follow-through
Awareness and vanity metrics; harder to tie to revenue
Cost Control & Transparency
Fixed pricing per booking; no surprises, clear expectations
Just your time (but time = money)

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Rise25.
What exactly is included in a Rise25 package?
Each package includes full-service podcast booking: targeted show research and vetting, personalized pitch copywriting, host outreach and relationship building, scheduling coordination, interview prep materials and briefings, post-interview follow-up to ensure publication, and campaign reporting with insights. Higher tiers include priority support, strategy reviews, and content repurposing guidance.
How do you select and qualify podcasts?
We vet every show for: (1) ICP and category fit—does the audience match your ideal clients? (2) Activity—published within the last 30 days. (3) Volume—at least 20 total episodes to ensure consistency. (4) Host authority and guest history—we look for engaged hosts who promote their episodes. Download numbers aren’t public, but niche shows with highly targeted audiences often outperform mass-market podcasts.
What's the process and timeline to my first interview?
First, we set your goals and define the number of shows you want to target. Then we research and build a targeted podcast list. Within 3–4 weeks, we begin personalized outreach campaigns using direct-response copy. Once a host accepts, we send you the scheduling details, and you coordinate the interview date within a few days. Typical cadence: 2–4 bookings per month once campaigns are in full swing.
How are pitches personalized?
Every pitch is written by our experienced copywriters—not templates. We research the host’s show format, audience, past guests, and episode themes. Then we craft a compelling, direct-response message tailored to why you’d be a valuable guest for that specific podcast. This approach yields much higher acceptance rates than generic outreach.
Do you help with interview prep and coaching?
Yes. We provide briefing materials on each podcast—show format, audience profile, host background, and suggested talking points. Optional coaching sessions are available to help you refine your message, storytelling, and calls-to-action so you maximize the value of every appearance.
Do you handle logistics and time zones?
Absolutely. We manage all the back-and-forth with hosts, including scheduling logistics and time zone coordination. Once a booking is confirmed, we hand off the scheduling link to you, and you coordinate directly with the host to lock in the interview date and time.
How do you measure and optimize results over time?
We track: (1) Number of bookings secured. (2) Show quality and audience fit. (3) Publication rates (ensuring episodes go live). (4) Backlinks and SEO impact. (5) Conversations, leads, and opportunities influenced by appearances. Higher-tier packages include quarterly or monthly strategy reviews where we analyze performance and refine targeting, messaging, and outreach tactics.
What promo assets do I get post-interview?
Most hosts provide: (1) A direct link to your episode page. (2) Audio/video files (if requested). (3) Show notes with your bio and links. We help you leverage these for social media clips, blog posts, email campaigns, and sales enablement. Platinum clients receive guidance on repurposing content for maximum ROI.
Can you turn interviews into broader marketing and sales assets?
Yes. We provide guidance on how to repurpose interviews into: (1) Social media clips and quote graphics. (2) Blog articles and LinkedIn posts. (3) Email nurture sequences. (4) Sales enablement content (e.g., ‘As featured on…’). Our team can also recommend tools and workflows to streamline content creation.
How many appearances can I expect?
Typical cadence is 2–4 bookings per month once campaigns are active. The total depends on your package: Silver (10 bookings), Gold (20 bookings), Platinum (60 bookings). We space bookings strategically to avoid burnout and ensure you have time to prepare and deliver quality interviews.
What are the pricing options?
Silver: 10 bookings for $3,000. Gold: 20 bookings for $5,000 (most popular). Platinum: 60 bookings for $7,500. All tiers include full-service booking, vetting, personalized outreach, prep materials, follow-up, and reporting. Higher tiers add priority support, strategy reviews, and content repurposing guidance.
How do you find high-quality shows?
We use a combination of: (1) Podcast directories (Apple, Spotify, Podchaser). (2) Manual research and listening to episodes. (3) AI-assisted analysis of audience fit and content themes. (4) Industry relationships and insider networks. We prioritize shows with engaged audiences, active publishing schedules, and hosts who promote their episodes.
What if a podcast doesn't publish my episode?
When you appear as a guest on other podcasts, you do not have full control over when the episode will publish. However, our team will follow up on your behalf. In addition, we pre-vet podcast shows to only book you on shows that have a good reputation for actually publishing episodes.
What software or tools do I need?
You’ll need: (1) A quiet recording space. (2) A USB microphone (recommended for quality). (3) Headphones (recommended to avoid echo). (4) Stable, hard-wired internet connection (preferred over Wi-Fi). Most hosts will provide a Zoom or Riverside.fm link for recording. Optional: local backup recording software (e.g., Audacity, QuickTime) for safety.
What counts as a qualified booking?
A qualified booking is a strategically selected, scheduled podcast appearance on a relevant, active show whose audience matches your ICP. We vet for episode volume (20+), recent publishing (last 30 days), host authority, and guest history. The booking must be confirmed with genuine host interest in your value proposition, and it fits a broader strategy that includes prep, coaching, and post-interview repurposing. We measure quality by conversations, leads influenced, and audience growth—not just ‘any placement,’ but one aligned to your business goals.
