What kind of results are you getting from your podcast interviews? If you're not getting great results yet then the problem is rarely the size of the shows. In today's episode we talk about 8 reasons your podcast interviews may not be working for you.

Key Takeaways

• Poor audio quality can negatively impact your interview, so using an external microphone and wearing headphones can improve sound quality. It is also important to avoid echo in the room and turn off any disruptive sounds from devices, fans, or air conditioning.
• Being unprepared can affect the quality of your interview. You should know the platform that the host is using, be confident about the topics you are discussing, and avoid showing up unprepared with a script.
• Over-preparation can also be detrimental to your interview. While it's useful to prepare beforehand, it's important not to show up with a script, as it may sound unnatural and disengage the audience.
• Stories are important in engaging listeners and building emotional connections, as stories make information more memorable and relatable.
• Instead of being a pushy salesperson, focus on adding value to your interview by sharing your knowledge, experiences, and expertise, to grow your brand.
• Poor rapport with hosts. Use the hosts name and engage with them during your conversation.
• Not being enthusiastic or sounding enthusiastic about the topics you're talking about.
• Not being a guest on the right shows. Periodically evaluate which podcasts are the most successful for you and go on more of these kinds of shows.
• Not having a call-to-action that's resonating with listeners. You may need to experiment.
