Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re talking about how to become a podcast guest. First thing’s first - ditch that generic copy and paste email. Focus on fewer shows and reach out to them with a personalised video instead. Tell them what you love about their show, and how you’re uniquely positioned to bring value to their audience. Make it all about them, their content, and their listeners. This won’t guarantee results, but they’ll almost certainly watch it, as opposed to skimming and deleting a lengthy text-based pitch. You can also pay booking services such as podcastguests.com, matchmaker.fm, or Podchaser Connect to set you up with interview gigs. Deciding on the best route here might come down to whether you’d rather spend time, or money. Whichever investment you make, though, the results can be worth it.
