The Future of Connections: Guest Match Pro Unveiled – PCI 452

Guest Match Pro beta is now live!

In this episode of Podcast Insider, we introduce Guest Match Pro, Blubrry’s new platform built to connect creators, guests, and agencies. Whether you’re a podcaster, coach, author, or media pro, Guest Match Pro helps streamline the process of finding and booking interviews across industries. We’re diving into what it does, who it’s for, and why now is the perfect time to join the beta—especially if you’re looking to grow your reach and collaborate more efficiently.

Today’s Host: Todd Cochrane, MacKenzie Bennett, & Mike Dell

✅ What Is Guest Match Pro?

Guest Match Pro is Blubrry’s new creator connection platform designed to make it easier for people to collaborate. That includes:

  • Creators who need guests for their show or channel
  • Guests who want to be interviewed and featured
  • Agencies managing multiple clients who want to get booked

It’s not just for podcasters—it’s for anyone who uses interviews to build content or visibility. You can search by category, content type, or niche, and match with relevant creators or guests in minutes.

✅ What You Can Do in the Beta

Guest Match Pro will very soon be available in beta, which means you’ll be able to:

  • Build a public profile for yourself or your clients
  • Choose your role(s): guest, creator, agency—or all three
  • Filter and match with others based on shared interests or content goals
  • Use built-in messaging to communicate and schedule
  • Bookmark profiles, track connections, and manage your network

Agencies can manage multiple clients from a single dashboard, and individuals can toggle between guest and creator roles. And if you’re a Blubrry hosting customer, Guest Match Pro is already integrated into your dashboard—no extra logins or setup required.

✅ Why Join Now

This is just the beginning. During beta, all creators can join for free—and Blubrry hosting customers will continue to get Guest Match Pro at no cost after the beta ends.

We’re also actively collecting feedback from beta users. Your experience and suggestions will help shape future features and improvements, including enhancements to filtering, matching accuracy, and collaboration tools.

Now’s your chance to explore the platform, grow your network, and be part of building the next great tool for creators.

✅ It’s Not Just for Podcasters

Guest Match Pro is open to all types of creators:

  • Coaches and consultants
  • Authors on book tours
  • Educators and speakers
  • Radio hosts and livestreamers
  • Agencies promoting expert clients

If interviews, exposure, or audience-building is part of your strategy—Guest Match Pro was built with you in mind.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,819
I'm Mackenzie Bennett, marketing specialist here at Blueberry.

4
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:08,419
Welcome to Podcast Insider.

00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,880
And I'm Mike Dell, the VP of customer

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,660
relations and a podcaster.

7
00:00:13,764 --> 00:00:15,924
And today, we're diving into something brand new

8
00:00:15,924 --> 00:00:17,545
from Blueberry called Guestmatch

9
00:00:18,004 --> 00:00:18,504
Pro.

10
00:00:19,925 --> 00:00:22,964
You're listening to Podcast Insider hosted by Mike

11
00:00:22,964 --> 00:00:26,164
Dell, Todd Cochran, and Mackenzie Bennett from the

12
00:00:26,164 --> 00:00:27,304
Blueberry team,

13
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:31,429

14
00:00:31,429 --> 00:00:34,549
and tricks to help you start, grow, and

15
00:00:34,549 --> 00:00:35,929
thrive through podcasting.

16
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:38,469
With all the support of your team here

17
00:00:38,469 --> 00:00:39,929
at Blueberry Podcasting,

18
00:00:40,309 --> 00:00:41,929
welcome. Let's dive in.

19
00:00:42,844 --> 00:00:44,784
We're at the finish line,

20
00:00:45,405 --> 00:00:47,244
at least for the beta release. But if

21
00:00:47,244 --> 00:00:48,704
you ever feel frustrated

22
00:00:49,484 --> 00:00:50,625
and if you're really

23
00:00:51,324 --> 00:00:53,725
tired of looking to book the right guests

24
00:00:53,725 --> 00:00:55,645
or trying to get yourself booked on other

25
00:00:55,645 --> 00:00:56,145
shows,

26
00:00:56,829 --> 00:00:57,969
well, you're not alone.

27
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:00,909
And, we got something special here. We built

28
00:01:00,909 --> 00:01:03,250
Guestmatch Pro to to fix that.

29
00:01:03,869 --> 00:01:07,170
So this is for podcasters, YouTubers, authors, coaches,

30
00:01:07,629 --> 00:01:10,189
whatever. Guestmatch Pro is for any type of

31
00:01:10,189 --> 00:01:10,689
creator.

32
00:01:11,415 --> 00:01:12,314
And broadcasters.

33
00:01:13,655 --> 00:01:16,314
Anyone that relies on interviews and collaboration

34
00:01:16,614 --> 00:01:17,994
to grow their brand.

35
00:01:18,774 --> 00:01:21,575
And we thought that having this open to

36
00:01:21,575 --> 00:01:22,474
all creators

37
00:01:23,380 --> 00:01:25,240
would attract a lot more

38
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:27,079
influential and interesting

39
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:28,920
guests. So it's

40
00:01:29,299 --> 00:01:32,340
this is saying, it's designed for everyone, and,

41
00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:35,380
we're really super excited to bring it to

42
00:01:35,380 --> 00:01:36,280
you. Obviously,

43
00:01:37,234 --> 00:01:39,795
we're gonna be, launching in beta for about

44
00:01:39,795 --> 00:01:40,694
ninety days.

45
00:01:41,234 --> 00:01:43,954
But Guest Match Pro is really this a

46
00:01:43,954 --> 00:01:45,655
new creator connection platform,

47
00:01:46,515 --> 00:01:49,234
and it's been designed from the ground up

48
00:01:49,234 --> 00:01:50,935
to make it easier for people collaborate.

49
00:01:51,790 --> 00:01:53,709
And, again, it's for creators who need get

50
00:01:53,789 --> 00:01:56,450
who need guests for the show, our channel,

51
00:01:57,069 --> 00:02:00,030
and guests who want to be interviewed and

52
00:02:00,030 --> 00:02:00,769
or featured,

53
00:02:01,310 --> 00:02:02,769
and our agencies

54
00:02:03,069 --> 00:02:05,569
that are managing multiple clients who

55
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:07,734
want to get their clients booked.

56
00:02:08,275 --> 00:02:10,514
And as Mackenzie mentioned, it's not just for

57
00:02:10,514 --> 00:02:12,134
podcasters. It's for anyone

58
00:02:12,594 --> 00:02:15,394
who uses interviews to build content or or

59
00:02:15,394 --> 00:02:15,894
visibility.

60
00:02:16,914 --> 00:02:17,394
And,

61
00:02:17,794 --> 00:02:19,794
we've got a kind of a matching a

62
00:02:19,794 --> 00:02:20,534
log rhythm

63
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:21,750
that,

64
00:02:23,189 --> 00:02:23,689
matches

65
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:26,569
you to guest in similar categories.

66
00:02:28,870 --> 00:02:29,370
And,

67
00:02:29,990 --> 00:02:30,490
hopefully,

68
00:02:31,189 --> 00:02:33,590
we'll match with relevant guest in just in

69
00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:36,614
just minutes. But early days, we're starting from

70
00:02:36,614 --> 00:02:39,414
zero zero, meaning no one's on the platform

71
00:02:39,414 --> 00:02:41,194
except for those who've been testing it.

72
00:02:41,655 --> 00:02:43,675
And, you'll see a few of our profiles

73
00:02:43,814 --> 00:02:44,534
out there, but,

74
00:02:45,254 --> 00:02:46,775
there is a bunch of stuff that you

75
00:02:46,775 --> 00:02:47,995
can do in the beta.

76
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:51,150
I think my favorite part about the,

77
00:02:52,729 --> 00:02:55,290
like, the whole thing is that you don't

78
00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:56,509
have to actually be

79
00:02:57,290 --> 00:02:59,229
a creator is that you can just

80
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,150
add a profile for yourself

81
00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:04,004
as I wanna be a guest. And I

82
00:03:04,004 --> 00:03:05,844
hope this means that people can, you know,

83
00:03:05,844 --> 00:03:07,924
that people can find me so that I

84
00:03:07,924 --> 00:03:09,544
can be a guest on their show.

85
00:03:11,044 --> 00:03:13,284
So you're able to create whatever type of

86
00:03:13,284 --> 00:03:15,125
profile you want. You can be both a

87
00:03:15,125 --> 00:03:16,504
creator and a guest.

88
00:03:17,099 --> 00:03:18,860
You can, you know, sign up as an

89
00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:21,580
agency and then have your clients be listed

90
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:22,959
as either a creator

91
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,900
and a guest or I you know, either

92
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:26,639
or. There's

93
00:03:27,099 --> 00:03:28,539
there's a different way that you can do

94
00:03:28,539 --> 00:03:30,555
it, depending on what they're looking for.

95
00:03:31,754 --> 00:03:34,014
That that algorithm is gonna match you

96
00:03:34,474 --> 00:03:35,215
based on

97
00:03:35,514 --> 00:03:37,995
a number of different things that you're gonna

98
00:03:37,995 --> 00:03:40,314
answer during during the onboarding and all of

99
00:03:40,314 --> 00:03:42,414
your profile settings. I think it's a

100
00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:44,250
a good match

101
00:03:44,790 --> 00:03:46,629
for a lot of people that are doing

102
00:03:46,629 --> 00:03:48,010
any type of content creation.

103
00:03:48,629 --> 00:03:50,629
Yeah. As Todd said, we're gonna have this,

104
00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:54,490
available very soon in beta, hopefully next week,

105
00:03:55,094 --> 00:03:57,514
and, you'll be able to build your public

106
00:03:57,574 --> 00:04:00,134
profile for yourself or your clients if you

107
00:04:00,134 --> 00:04:01,435
sign up as an agency.

108
00:04:02,294 --> 00:04:03,674
You could choose your roles,

109
00:04:04,055 --> 00:04:06,474
guest, creator, agency, or all three.

110
00:04:07,659 --> 00:04:10,300
You can filter and match with others based

111
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:13,260
on shared interests, content goals. You can use

112
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:15,280
a built in messaging to communicate

113
00:04:15,659 --> 00:04:18,959
and schedule your shows, bookmark profiles,

114
00:04:19,485 --> 00:04:22,125
track connections, and, you can manage the whole

115
00:04:22,125 --> 00:04:23,824
network or your whole network.

116
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:27,485
I will say one thing, though. We you

117
00:04:27,485 --> 00:04:29,504
will be able to use your own booking

118
00:04:29,564 --> 00:04:31,425
system. So if you're using Calendly

119
00:04:31,805 --> 00:04:32,305
or,

120
00:04:33,019 --> 00:04:35,660
what's that other one? Tidy. There's a number

121
00:04:36,459 --> 00:04:38,240
yeah. There's a number of them.

122
00:04:38,620 --> 00:04:41,199
So use your own use your own booking

123
00:04:41,740 --> 00:04:42,240
link.

124
00:04:42,620 --> 00:04:45,419
And, so that way that doesn't change from

125
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:46,160
your perspective.

126
00:04:46,975 --> 00:04:48,975
One of the cool things is as a

127
00:04:48,975 --> 00:04:50,675
Blueberry hosting customer,

128
00:04:51,295 --> 00:04:52,675
you get all this for free.

129
00:04:53,694 --> 00:04:56,095
On the beta, you'll, get it for free

130
00:04:56,095 --> 00:04:57,795
for a limited time.

131
00:04:58,654 --> 00:05:01,020
But, yeah, it's I think it's be great.

132
00:05:01,020 --> 00:05:03,020
You know? And as a Blueberry customer, you

133
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:05,740
there's no extra logins or or, you know,

134
00:05:05,740 --> 00:05:07,500
anything like that. You have to, you know,

135
00:05:07,500 --> 00:05:09,580
set up your profiles and whatnot, but,

136
00:05:10,379 --> 00:05:12,080
it, should be pretty straightforward.

137
00:05:13,615 --> 00:05:14,194
But, again,

138
00:05:15,214 --> 00:05:17,535
just so you're clear, and I think Mike

139
00:05:17,535 --> 00:05:18,514
covered it, but

140
00:05:19,214 --> 00:05:19,714
Blueberry

141
00:05:20,095 --> 00:05:23,074
podcast hosting customers get this free for life.

142
00:05:23,615 --> 00:05:25,394
And then all others,

143
00:05:27,330 --> 00:05:29,490
Again, you get access to this for, I

144
00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:31,730
think we're gonna probably do ninety days at

145
00:05:31,730 --> 00:05:32,389
a minimum

146
00:05:32,850 --> 00:05:33,910
and free beta,

147
00:05:34,529 --> 00:05:35,009
and,

148
00:05:35,490 --> 00:05:36,930
they give you a chance to test the

149
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:38,689
system. And, also, we, you know, ramp to

150
00:05:38,689 --> 00:05:39,189
build

151
00:05:39,569 --> 00:05:42,675
clientele. So the first thirty days, things probably

152
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:44,774
will be pretty thin on

153
00:05:45,314 --> 00:05:47,415
on matches. Now this is just the beginning.

154
00:05:49,074 --> 00:05:52,214
We're gonna be actively collecting feedback from

155
00:05:52,595 --> 00:05:55,074
from all of you that that choose to

156
00:05:55,074 --> 00:05:55,975
create a profile,

157
00:05:56,729 --> 00:05:59,689
And your experience in Justin will help shape

158
00:05:59,689 --> 00:06:01,149
the future features improvements,

159
00:06:02,089 --> 00:06:03,149
including enhancements

160
00:06:04,009 --> 00:06:07,449
to matching and filtering and collaboration tools. And

161
00:06:07,449 --> 00:06:09,370
we we've already seen a few things in

162
00:06:09,370 --> 00:06:10,430
our testing that

163
00:06:10,865 --> 00:06:13,824
potentially can be updated, but when you build

164
00:06:13,824 --> 00:06:16,085
something out with an initial vision,

165
00:06:17,025 --> 00:06:19,025
you don't wanna get into the ninth hour

166
00:06:19,025 --> 00:06:20,725
and make a lot of changes.

167
00:06:21,665 --> 00:06:24,545
We've done a couple of, updates. We're really

168
00:06:24,545 --> 00:06:25,444
super obvious,

169
00:06:25,949 --> 00:06:28,589
But now is your chance to really explore

170
00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:30,370
the platform, grow your network,

171
00:06:30,829 --> 00:06:33,229
and be part of building the next great

172
00:06:33,229 --> 00:06:33,729
tool,

173
00:06:34,509 --> 00:06:36,990
for creators. You're gonna have the ability here

174
00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:37,389
to,

175
00:06:38,189 --> 00:06:39,649
to input this. But

176
00:06:40,264 --> 00:06:43,064
as we said earlier, this is not just

177
00:06:43,064 --> 00:06:45,464
for podcasters. I think this is, like, a

178
00:06:45,464 --> 00:06:46,764
a thing that we need

179
00:06:47,384 --> 00:06:49,165
to say again and again and again.

180
00:06:50,264 --> 00:06:52,504
Yeah. It's for any experts in in a

181
00:06:52,504 --> 00:06:54,585
field. You know, say you wanna get on

182
00:06:54,585 --> 00:06:57,639
a radio show or a YouTube or

183
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:00,199
a or a podcast and be interviewed.

184
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:02,500
And, you know, the whole team here has

185
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:05,620
been working on breaking the system so that,

186
00:07:05,939 --> 00:07:07,459
we get as many of the bugs out

187
00:07:07,459 --> 00:07:09,300
of it before you guys get to see

188
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:09,800
it.

189
00:07:11,824 --> 00:07:14,144
And, again, if if you're listening to this

190
00:07:14,144 --> 00:07:15,685
and you are a potential

191
00:07:16,785 --> 00:07:18,884
guest, and it could include a coach,

192
00:07:19,504 --> 00:07:20,004
consultants,

193
00:07:21,105 --> 00:07:24,245
authors on book tours, educators and speakers,

194
00:07:25,269 --> 00:07:27,769
radio hosts, live streamers, agencies

195
00:07:28,069 --> 00:07:29,290
promoting clients,

196
00:07:30,310 --> 00:07:33,029
this is the platform for you. And, again,

197
00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:35,509
it's you're gonna find that we will be

198
00:07:35,509 --> 00:07:39,095
attracting all kinds of creators and all kinds

199
00:07:39,154 --> 00:07:40,055
of guests,

200
00:07:40,914 --> 00:07:41,314
to,

201
00:07:41,714 --> 00:07:43,974
to to build their profiles on,

202
00:07:44,914 --> 00:07:47,794
on the platform. And one thing that we

203
00:07:47,794 --> 00:07:49,334
have set up already

204
00:07:49,954 --> 00:07:51,735
is a great referral system.

205
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:52,960
And,

206
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:54,160
if you,

207
00:07:55,180 --> 00:07:55,680
refer

208
00:07:56,540 --> 00:07:58,879
clients and everyone that signs up for GuestMatch

209
00:07:58,939 --> 00:08:00,939
Pro that's a guest or a creator that

210
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:02,319
signs up, you'll get a

211
00:08:02,620 --> 00:08:05,280
a referral link in your first welcome email.

212
00:08:06,125 --> 00:08:08,225
And if you share that link,

213
00:08:08,685 --> 00:08:11,245
the very early days before we start charging

214
00:08:11,245 --> 00:08:11,985
for this,

215
00:08:12,685 --> 00:08:15,725
you'll get, social promotion. You'll be may mentioned

216
00:08:15,725 --> 00:08:17,264
in the guest match pro newsletter.

217
00:08:18,740 --> 00:08:21,000
So we've got the ability here for you

218
00:08:21,540 --> 00:08:23,160
and to earn money as well.

219
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:25,720
So example, if you're a Blueberry,

220
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:29,080
podcast hosting customer and you refer,

221
00:08:29,939 --> 00:08:32,360
a podcaster or a creator to this,

222
00:08:32,794 --> 00:08:34,975
there when we start charging for the service

223
00:08:35,514 --> 00:08:38,014
and, if they convert to a billing customer,

224
00:08:38,074 --> 00:08:41,294
then, you will rent, win a not win.

225
00:08:41,674 --> 00:08:43,454
You'll be rewarded a bounty.

226
00:08:44,154 --> 00:08:45,934
For non Blueberry customers

227
00:08:46,394 --> 00:08:46,769
that,

228
00:08:47,490 --> 00:08:49,110
use the referral code,

229
00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:51,750
you'll actually get credit towards,

230
00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:54,290
your bill or you can take it in

231
00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:55,429
cash either way.

232
00:08:56,050 --> 00:08:58,290
So I think that's the exciting piece about

233
00:08:58,290 --> 00:09:00,070
this is we've got a real strong,

234
00:09:02,785 --> 00:09:04,865
referral program, and we hope that you'll use

235
00:09:04,865 --> 00:09:06,165
that to help us,

236
00:09:07,024 --> 00:09:07,524
build,

237
00:09:07,904 --> 00:09:10,144
the audience here that is gonna be using

238
00:09:10,144 --> 00:09:12,625
the service. So if you've already interviewed, let's

239
00:09:12,625 --> 00:09:14,485
say, 20 or 25 people,

240
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,440
this might be something you'd want to email

241
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,440
to each of those previous guests that you've

242
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,000
had on your show and say, hey. Here's

243
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,120
gonna be a new way for you to

244
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,580
find a place to get booked.

245
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,279
Then you could very well, you know, rack

246
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:30,139
up some bounties very, very quickly

247
00:09:30,845 --> 00:09:32,785
by referring those guests

248
00:09:33,404 --> 00:09:33,904
and,

249
00:09:34,605 --> 00:09:36,205
agencies as well that,

250
00:09:36,684 --> 00:09:37,665
that come in.

251
00:09:38,684 --> 00:09:40,545
Again, our goal is to be

252
00:09:41,165 --> 00:09:42,445
set up in such a way that you

253
00:09:42,445 --> 00:09:44,225
have a lot of control here and

254
00:09:44,860 --> 00:09:47,899
completely transparent in the interface. But you're definitely

255
00:09:47,899 --> 00:09:48,720
looking for

256
00:09:49,179 --> 00:09:50,320
for lots of feedback.

257
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:53,899
We're pretty excited that that the team has

258
00:09:53,899 --> 00:09:54,399
spent

259
00:09:55,740 --> 00:09:58,460
a huge amount of time getting this built.

260
00:09:58,460 --> 00:09:58,779
So,

261
00:10:00,274 --> 00:10:01,014
it's our

262
00:10:01,394 --> 00:10:03,715
first real true new product in many, many,

263
00:10:03,715 --> 00:10:04,455
many years.

264
00:10:05,715 --> 00:10:07,554
Yeah. Something I wanna say is, there was

265
00:10:07,554 --> 00:10:11,394
definitely some inspiration for Guestmatch Pro from the

266
00:10:11,394 --> 00:10:12,455
multitude of,

267
00:10:13,529 --> 00:10:16,410
dating apps and websites that are out there

268
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:18,490
to try and match you. But I would

269
00:10:18,490 --> 00:10:20,910
say that this is set up smarter.

270
00:10:21,690 --> 00:10:23,690
You know, dating apps, a lot of the

271
00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:24,190
time,

272
00:10:24,730 --> 00:10:26,090
majority of them just work on,

273
00:10:28,065 --> 00:10:28,565
numbers,

274
00:10:29,184 --> 00:10:30,884
and they just send you anyone

275
00:10:32,225 --> 00:10:34,544
with some type of filters. But this is

276
00:10:34,544 --> 00:10:37,184
more of an algorithm of here's the the

277
00:10:37,184 --> 00:10:39,264
information that you have put. Here's what would

278
00:10:39,264 --> 00:10:41,899
actually work with someone else, not just, you

279
00:10:41,899 --> 00:10:43,980
know, a numbers game of we have this

280
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:46,059
many people signed up. Let's just give them

281
00:10:46,059 --> 00:10:46,559
anyone

282
00:10:47,019 --> 00:10:48,860
and see if they like them and swipe

283
00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:51,660
right type scenario. So this, I think, is,

284
00:10:52,540 --> 00:10:55,259
is just a smarter version of something like

285
00:10:55,259 --> 00:10:57,394
that. So if you're familiar with a with

286
00:10:57,394 --> 00:10:59,634
a dating app, go in a little less

287
00:10:59,634 --> 00:11:00,774
jaded on this one.

288
00:11:01,235 --> 00:11:03,875
Yeah. You're not setting your dating profile from

289
00:11:03,875 --> 00:11:06,054
35 to 55 and then,

290
00:11:07,394 --> 00:11:09,875
hoping, you know, someone in that date range

291
00:11:09,875 --> 00:11:12,519
likes you. We've really set this up so

292
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:14,860
that if you're doing a business show

293
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,120
and you cover, you know, six or seven

294
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,440
different categories within the business show and then

295
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:21,980
someone else is a,

296
00:11:23,184 --> 00:11:24,945
wants to be a guest on a business

297
00:11:24,945 --> 00:11:26,884
shows and they have similar,

298
00:11:28,144 --> 00:11:28,644
backgrounds,

299
00:11:29,904 --> 00:11:32,225
there'll be a a matching going on there.

300
00:11:32,225 --> 00:11:32,725
So

301
00:11:33,105 --> 00:11:36,004
we ask you as you're creating your profiles,

302
00:11:36,304 --> 00:11:37,205
take the time

303
00:11:38,019 --> 00:11:39,799
and really create a good profile

304
00:11:40,179 --> 00:11:41,720
and do a good write up

305
00:11:42,019 --> 00:11:44,279
as everything counts in

306
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:47,139
helping you get good matches. Is it having

307
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:49,700
a complete profile with the keywords, with the

308
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:50,200
categories,

309
00:11:51,524 --> 00:11:53,384
is super important to

310
00:11:53,924 --> 00:11:56,325
to get good matches. Now if you go

311
00:11:56,325 --> 00:11:56,985
too broad

312
00:11:57,764 --> 00:12:00,644
and pick outside of your category, which, you

313
00:12:00,644 --> 00:12:02,884
know, can be done, but we don't recommend

314
00:12:02,884 --> 00:12:03,360
it,

315
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,279
you're gonna see stuff there that,

316
00:12:05,839 --> 00:12:07,539
maybe is not a good mix.

317
00:12:08,159 --> 00:12:10,000
But if you're thinking about the type of

318
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,879
people that,

319
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:15,200
you want to interview and or the the

320
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,399
guest, the type of show you want to

321
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:19,139
be on,

322
00:12:20,054 --> 00:12:23,415
taking that time to, creating that very accurate

323
00:12:23,415 --> 00:12:23,915
profile,

324
00:12:24,535 --> 00:12:26,554
putting bio information in,

325
00:12:27,014 --> 00:12:29,415
making sure you're linking to your social sites

326
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,915
through LinkedIn, wherever else you have social

327
00:12:33,289 --> 00:12:33,789
exposure

328
00:12:34,330 --> 00:12:36,110
at. This all goes into

329
00:12:37,210 --> 00:12:40,169
the, the magic sauce that is gonna help

330
00:12:40,169 --> 00:12:40,669
you,

331
00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:43,210
find more guests. Now we're gonna be looking

332
00:12:43,210 --> 00:12:45,450
at this real real close as the numbers

333
00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:45,950
grow

334
00:12:46,605 --> 00:12:49,245
to see, you know, how well our, I

335
00:12:49,245 --> 00:12:51,105
guess, for a better word, our algorithm

336
00:12:52,044 --> 00:12:52,784
is working.

337
00:12:54,044 --> 00:12:55,884
And, yeah, I'm sure at some point we'll

338
00:12:55,884 --> 00:12:57,584
make some tweaks. But,

339
00:12:58,365 --> 00:13:00,705
again, you're getting in on the ground floor,

340
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,100
and,

341
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,440
it's exciting to, to be able to bring

342
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,040
this to you. And we'll you're coming to

343
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,960
podcast movement. We'll be talking about this a

344
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,500
lot at the event as well.

345
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,105
And speaking of podcast movement, if you are,

346
00:13:15,105 --> 00:13:16,945
you know, a die hard Blueberry fan and

347
00:13:16,945 --> 00:13:18,325
really interested in this,

348
00:13:18,784 --> 00:13:20,465
stop by the booth and pick up a

349
00:13:20,465 --> 00:13:22,144
t shirt. We'll be happy to give you

350
00:13:22,144 --> 00:13:23,904
one. And matter of fact, if you wear

351
00:13:23,904 --> 00:13:25,424
a t shirt for at least one day

352
00:13:25,424 --> 00:13:26,565
of podcast movement,

353
00:13:27,105 --> 00:13:29,424
Mackenzie's got some gift cards to give away.

354
00:13:29,424 --> 00:13:29,745
So,

355
00:13:31,070 --> 00:13:33,790
little cash incentive to wear a Guest Match

356
00:13:33,790 --> 00:13:34,850
Pro t shirt

357
00:13:35,230 --> 00:13:37,790
at, podcast Movement. Mike and I will be

358
00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:39,009
sporting them the entire

359
00:13:39,710 --> 00:13:40,509
event. So,

360
00:13:41,549 --> 00:13:43,070
if you don't know what we're looking for,

361
00:13:43,070 --> 00:13:45,169
just look for the Guest Match Pro logo.

362
00:13:46,235 --> 00:13:48,575
It'll be on our on our backs literally.

363
00:13:49,274 --> 00:13:50,335
Yep. For sure.

364
00:13:50,955 --> 00:13:52,715
And, you'll be able to,

365
00:13:53,434 --> 00:13:56,315
chitchat with us, in addition to GuestMatch Pro,

366
00:13:56,315 --> 00:13:57,934
of course, all the Blueberry stuff.

367
00:13:59,539 --> 00:14:00,759
Yeah. It's really,

368
00:14:02,100 --> 00:14:04,259
you know, the the service, I think, and

369
00:14:04,259 --> 00:14:06,659
the matches that you get is really gonna

370
00:14:06,659 --> 00:14:07,159
be

371
00:14:08,179 --> 00:14:09,639
kinda dependent on

372
00:14:10,019 --> 00:14:12,440
on how well you fill out your profile

373
00:14:12,820 --> 00:14:13,720
and and

374
00:14:14,125 --> 00:14:15,965
just building up this user base that we

375
00:14:15,965 --> 00:14:18,684
have. And that's why we we really want

376
00:14:18,684 --> 00:14:21,045
you to share this with your friends or

377
00:14:21,165 --> 00:14:24,045
and, you know, community of content creators that

378
00:14:24,045 --> 00:14:26,684
you know that are also interested in this.

379
00:14:26,845 --> 00:14:28,285
I think it can be really good. I

380
00:14:28,285 --> 00:14:30,840
will say one thing. The pricing is already

381
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,840
on the website, so you can actually look

382
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,080
at the pricing breakdown. We're working on, having

383
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,440
a flip or switch so that you can

384
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,259
see the delta between monthly and yearly.

385
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:40,379
And,

386
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,019
this will give you an idea. We've competitively

387
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,540
priced this. There's other

388
00:14:47,074 --> 00:14:48,375
but I think the

389
00:14:48,834 --> 00:14:50,914
the situation here really is is we know

390
00:14:50,914 --> 00:14:51,975
that Blueberry

391
00:14:52,595 --> 00:14:54,774
podcast hosting customers at a minimum,

392
00:14:56,274 --> 00:14:58,115
this may save them some money by not

393
00:14:58,115 --> 00:15:00,294
having to pay for service somewhere else

394
00:15:00,730 --> 00:15:02,490
as we're giving this to you for free

395
00:15:02,490 --> 00:15:03,549
as part of your

396
00:15:04,090 --> 00:15:07,230
subscription to Blueberry and providing continued value,

397
00:15:08,090 --> 00:15:10,250
to our service here. You know, and if

398
00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:12,029
you're a podcaster at Blueberry,

399
00:15:12,730 --> 00:15:14,889
you know, you probably do go on other

400
00:15:14,889 --> 00:15:17,014
people's shows. Well, so make sure you do

401
00:15:17,014 --> 00:15:17,514
your,

402
00:15:18,054 --> 00:15:18,875
your guest,

403
00:15:19,334 --> 00:15:22,294
profile as well. You know, it never hurts

404
00:15:22,294 --> 00:15:24,235
to be on somebody else's show.

405
00:15:24,855 --> 00:15:27,735
Absolutely. And I'll definitely be creating a guest

406
00:15:27,735 --> 00:15:29,894
profile even though I don't do a per

407
00:15:29,894 --> 00:15:31,194
se interview show

408
00:15:31,670 --> 00:15:32,809
for one of my shows.

409
00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:35,269
So there may be a chance that you'll

410
00:15:35,269 --> 00:15:37,190
get me on your show if you're,

411
00:15:37,750 --> 00:15:40,090
you're looking for a show or vice versa.

412
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:42,070
Yeah. So if you've been waiting for an

413
00:15:42,070 --> 00:15:43,450
easy way to grow your network,

414
00:15:44,084 --> 00:15:46,345
get booked or find the perfect guest, GuestMatch

415
00:15:46,565 --> 00:15:49,044
Pro was made for you. Yep. And, like

416
00:15:49,044 --> 00:15:51,524
I said, head over to guestmatch.pro,

417
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:53,764
and I think guestmatchpro.com

418
00:15:53,764 --> 00:15:54,664
also works.

419
00:15:55,445 --> 00:15:57,065
And, you can get started.

420
00:15:57,445 --> 00:15:59,225
The beta, I think, will be open

421
00:15:59,740 --> 00:16:02,480
probably slightly after when this episode goes out.

422
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:03,120
So,

423
00:16:04,299 --> 00:16:05,820
if it doesn't work right away,

424
00:16:06,460 --> 00:16:09,019
let us know, but, it should, it should

425
00:16:09,019 --> 00:16:11,500
start working pretty quick. There should be some

426
00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:13,965
links on the Blueberry dashboard as well to

427
00:16:13,965 --> 00:16:15,165
get you in there. So,

428
00:16:15,725 --> 00:16:17,325
or you can go directly to the website

429
00:16:17,325 --> 00:16:19,404
and log in with your Blueberry account. We're

430
00:16:19,404 --> 00:16:20,705

the e's.
