I’ve mentioned in previous episodes the general mistakes that people can make when pitching themselves for visibility opportunities. So this time, I’m going to dig a little deeper and share what a real-life bad pitch can look like!

Please note that it is NOT my intention to mock the work of other people. Each of the mistakes I cover here is incredibly common - and in some cases, I’ve made them myself. 

All I want to do is give you the confidence to get out there and start pitching yourself.

Topics covered include:

• How your pitch and all communications should reinforce your brand values. If you’re not careful, a poorly thought out pitch can not only get denied but can actually reflect poorly on your brand. 
• How a little last-minute tweaking could have turned these pitches from non-starters into successes
• The importance of doing the legwork and ‘bridging the gap’ to help you avoid pitching a guest or topic that’s irrelevant to your targeted podcast audience.
• Why tailoring your talk topics for each podcast you approach is the key to success.
• When is the right time to follow-up?
• Ditch the presumptuous and arrogant language. Give the host an out. 
• If you’re using a template, make sure you personalize it carefully!

In previous episodes of the Go Pitch Yourself podcast, I’ve mentioned the importance of making every podcast pitch unique to the person you’re trying to connect with. Now this might lead you to think that templates should be avoided at all costs.

Well, I’m here to tell you that this is not the case. At all!

My guest today is Amber De La Garza, The Productivity Specialist and host of the Productivity Straight Talk podcast.

Amber is a sought-after coach, trainer, and speaker, and in this episode you'll learn how, with a little bit of planning, templates can make your pitching process more efficient - without you sounding like a robot.

Topics covered include:

• How pitching herself for podcast appearances was the best business decision Amber ever made
• How using templates can make your pitches more effective by allowing you more time to connect on a personal level and build relationships with podcast hosts
• How Amber blocks out periods of time for planning, pitching and follow-up
• The way that Amber tracks the success of her pitches

If you’ve ever wondered how podcast hosts decide what type of guests to accept for their show, then this episode is for you. I sit down with Kendra Hennessy, a friend and former client, to chat through why she doesn’t accept many of the podcast pitches that land in her inbox and how she decides the topics that she’ll say yes to. As the gatekeeper for her audience, Kendra shares what she's looking for in podcast pitches - and what she hates.

Kendra Hennessy is a home management expert, a positive-motherhood enthusiast, and the founder of Mother Like A Boss.

Topics covered include:

• Why Kendra decided to launch a podcast to support her online business and how that helped her serve her audience in a bigger way
• The importance of knowing the nuances of a business or a podcast before making a pitch
• Kendra's approach to selecting guests for her podcast and the need to create personalized pitches, rather than a blanket "spray and pray" approach
• Why your social platform and marketing collateral aren't as important as making your pitch the best fit possible
• Examples of pitches that just don't work!
