"I was having a great conversation with my podcast guest, but suddenly...I had no idea what we were talking about anymore! The conversation got away from me. How do I keep that from happening again in the future?"

Sound familiar? I often hear from podcast and content hosts that their guests went down a rabbit hole and never recovered to the topic at hand. But, where does the fault lie here? With the guest? Or with the host?

If you answered "the host," you're correct! 

In today's episode, I'm covering three important podcast interview tips for hosts that will keep the conversation on track and actionable for your audience. No more rabbit holes and tangents leaving you wondering, "How did we even get here?" 

After you listen to this episode, you'll understand the strategies I use to bring the conversation back on track and what it looks like to make big decisions about your content. Enjoy!

We've talked on the show before about ways to encourage your guests to share an interview they have with you on your podcast. Today, we're flipping everything on its head to talk about how you can promote your podcast guest appearances on someone else's show.

We're walking through the 3-key parts of promoting your guest interviews and why treating someone else's content like your own helps you show up much differently. 

Whether you're thinking about marketing a guest promo during, before, or after an episode has been recorded and goes live, there are essential things you can do to get the coveted "I'd love to have you back on the show!..." at the end of an interview.

This episode is excellent for podcast hosting and podcast guesting and the multi-faceted approaches you can take to model the quality of guests you want to have on your shows. Enjoy!

"I had to take a break from my content and I'm not sure how I can get back to the consistent routine I had before." I hear this very often from content creators.

Today's episode is a clip from a live stream where we had a question from Leah about how to get back into your content and start publishing on a regular basis again.

In this clip, you'll hear what I'd suggest if I were coming back from a break in my content and how I'd approach the "right way" to come back. (PS, there is no "right way" to come back.)

I'm also explaining how I repurposed my live stream to create this podcast episode today so you can replicate the process.

We're bringing back a popular segment, "Questions from the Community". And today's question comes in the form of an audio clip submitted by Jean in our podcast community.

In today's episode, we're listening to Jean's question about audience engagement and then diving deeper into the solutions I'd offer to anyone wanting to have a more engaged audience.

We're also covering how Jean submitted her "call-in" style question for anyone else that wants to have their question played on The Proffitt Podcast. (I'd love to do more episodes like this, so please submit your questions ASAP!)

One last thought for those of you wanting to get your audience more engaged with your content: don't stop trying. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to meet my audience where they were -- and it was worth every ounce of effort.

"How do you avoid spending hours of your life on Google or thousands of dollars (I don't have!) when you're creating content?" Today's episode addresses both of these major issues.

We'll round out the episode with my money-saving strategies that help me keep my content creation obsession affordable and not drain my bank account. 

This is an episode for newbies, those of you in the middle, and seasoned pros to learn where you can tighten up on the time management and trim down those expenses.

"I want to guest on more podcasts in 2022." That's the phrase I wrote out as one of my main goals for this year when I was setting my sights on what I wanted to achieve. 

Today's guest is the perfect person to help us all understand the importance of guesting on more shows.

Angie Trueblood is a returning guest on the show today and she's sharing how guesting on podcasts continues to evolve. We're swapping personal stories about hosting and guesting while Angie talks about her and her team having tremendous success with client wins. 

We're also covering why podcast audits are important (from two different perspectives), updates about the podcast industry as a whole, and where we see opportunities arising for guesting in the future.

It's a conversation you do not want to miss!

How have we never talked about this on the podcast before? As much as we've talked about marketing your content, your elevator pitch is something that's super important to understand. 

In today's episode, we're covering what an elevator pitch is, why you need one, and why one may not be having the reaction you'd hoped it would.

I'm also throwing in a lesson from Proffitt Podcasting that helps you create an elevator pitch for your content. Inside the PDF, you'll find templates and scripts to help you develop your own. 

We'll also walk through where you can improve an elevator pitch so that you don’t leave your potential audience confused or wondering what to do next.
