# How to Filter Out Paid Placement Podcasts in Your Campaign

## Step 1: Open Your Campaign


* From your **PodPitch dashboard**, go to the campaign you’d like to review.
* Example: *Manifest Greatness*.

---

## Step 2: Use the Bulk Edit Tool

* In the **top right corner**, click **Bulk Edit**.
* You’ll see several filtering options, including:

* Too Big or Too Small
* Paid Placements
* Podcasts Not Yet Pitched
* Poor Matches

---

## Step 3: Filter Paid Placements

* Select **Paid Placements** from the dropdown.
* PodPitch will show any podcasts in your campaign that request payment for guest appearances.
* If none appear, your campaign doesn’t currently include any pay-to-play podcasts.

---

## Step 4: Review and Take Action

* Click **Review Selection** to see the filtered list.
* From there, you can **remove** or **exclude** any paid-placement podcasts.

---

## 💡 Why This Matters

About **1 in 5 podcasts** now request payment for guest interviews. Filtering these out helps you:

* Keep your outreach authentic and unpaid
* Focus on organic media opportunities
* Save time and effort during campaign setup

If you (or your clients) also host a podcast, you can often **negotiate swaps** — exchanging guest appearances instead of paying a fee.
