Most podcasters unknowingly limit their growth by focusing only on the United States market, ignoring that 90 percent of internet users live outside America. Alejandra Avalos Carranza, founder and CEO of ACMG Digital, took the opposite approach. She built a global network through strategic podcasting, landing high-profile guests like the CEO of Dreamworks and 20th Century Fox as a relatively new podcaster.
In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Alejandra reveals how to pitch big-name guests on LinkedIn by offering marketing value they actually want, why podcasters should charge flat collaboration fees instead of giving away free audience access, and how to handle rejection after being turned down 20 to 30 times. After retiring through real estate and Airbnb investments, Alejandra discovered that podcasting opens doors to international business opportunities impossible through traditional marketing, connecting her with entrepreneurs across Europe, Mexico, and Latin America.
