      • How to Pitch Rebel Therapist with Annie Schuessler

        Opening up to a therapist might sound tricky for some, but if you want to be a guest on Rebel Therapist, a podcast for therapists who want to create a phenomenal signature program, you better be prepared to spill the beans.

        We’re not talking about  your feelings.

        • Podcast Interviews Take Longer to Go Live Than You Expect – Here’s Why

          As the popular saying goes “Expectation is the root of all heartache.”

          Well, if you plan on securing podcast interviews with the expectation that they will be published immediately, you can expect some heartache.

          That’s not to say that podcast episodes never go live swiftly after the interview takes place. There are exceptions, of course.

          But when you begin your podcast interview journey, it is important to understand what the process actually looks like and set realistic expectations, especially if you have a launch or release planned.

          In this episode of Podcast Ally, Account Lead Sam Brake Guia joins me to crunch the data we’ve collected during our 7 years of booking podcast guest appearances.

          Listen to learn:

            • A Podcast Host Turned You Down. Now What?

              When you’re pitching yourself as a podcast guest, it’s not a question of whether you’ll be rejected but when.

              While it’s no fun to be turned down, it’s even worse if you let a, “No, thanks,” from a podcast host or producer keep you from pursuing more opportunities.

              Sam and Brigitte got together to normalize rejection as part of the podcast pitch process, as well as to give you a framework for understanding when you’ve gotten one decline too many and what to do about it.

              Listen to learn:

              • [02:49] Why no answer at all is often harder to deal with than a direct decline
              • [03:52] A real-life example of why you shouldn’t assume, “Not right now,” means No.
              • [06:26] The downward spiral that we want you to avoid!
              • [08:30] What to do when a podcast host asks you to follow-up later
              • [19:58] How to incorporate feedback and make your outreach stronger
              • [24:07] How many declines are too many?
