This is a Note To Future Me. Hi, this is Brett Johnson, your host and the owner of Circle 270 Media podcast consultants. Going do a quick episode today, just as a refresher course on how to pitch yourself as a podcast guest. Let's make it a five step process, even though there are hundreds of little details to think about when pitching yourself as a podcast guest. But, for now, let's focus on these basic elements. Number one, Listen to a few episodes of podcast before pitching.
You know, if the podcast isn't a good match for what you do, don't pitch it. And if the podcast doesn't have the guests, don't pitch it. Number two, Check for a guest submission process before pitching. If there is one, follow it. I found a great example from David Hooper from The Big Podcast.
He has a podcast and a blog post on this called Three Rules for Podcast Cast and Those who book Them and his recent Round and Round with a potential podcast cast and her personal booking person, it's very enlightening. Number three, Focus your guest pitch on a specific solution for their audience. What can you do for this audience? Number four, Be detailed in your pitch. Mention specific episodes and elements of the podcast. Sincerely, talk about what you like about the podcast.
And number five, You're going to have to be patient. Give the host enough time to follow up with you. Their time table is not your time table and recognize they may be in a different time zone than you as well, too, when it comes to recording and answering your emails.
