I hate it when I see emails like this...


Dear [NAME],

I love your podcast [PODCAST NAME] and I think I'd be a great guest for it. I can talk about loads of stuff that your audience loves like [EXAMPLES] so you just tell me what you'd like to hear.

Can't wait to appear on [PODCAST NAME]!

From,

[YOUR NAME]

Yeah, if I got a pitch like that, I don't think I'd reply either.

But if that's how not to do it, how do you actually pitch podcasts that you want to appear on? Because podcasts aren't a closed world. You could guest on podcasts you love and use it as an opportunity to pitch your business or your own podcast.

If you want to learn the secrets of crafting the perfect pitch, can I suggest that you listen to the latest episode of The Lazy Girl's Guide to Podcasting?

I appeared on the podcast with host Verity Sangan after I pitched her. She loved my pitch so much that she booked me for a double episode just so that we could talk about it!

You'll hear:

🏆 How to structure the perfect podcast pitch

🏆 What'll make your pitch stand out from all the others

🏆 The rules of following up on your pitch

🏆How to speed up your pitching process

Listen to the episode here!

Have a great day!

Hey Reader, Your podcast has probably changed a lot since you started it. But did you know that podcasting is changing too? For years, the basic technology underpinning podcasting has stayed broadly the same. But now there's a movement — Podcasting 2.0 — that's evolving podcasting independently of corporate influence. If you're a podcast listener (and I'm pretty sure you are), you'll be able to listen to and support your favourite shows no matter what platform they're on, with more of the...

Hey Reader, Podcasts about podcasting are a bit meta. And podcasting about emailing for podcasters is niche. So we're about to get META NICHE. This is an email about a podcast episode that talks about emailing for podcasters. It's ok if you need to read that twice. Last week, I was so happy to guest on a podcast episode of Podcasting Smarter, the podcast that gives tips and best practices to help your podcast thrive with less effort on your end.
