Welcome back to another Meet the Mentors episode where my podcast growth coach, Adam Schaueble, and I dish about podcast guesting best practices and what not to do . . . EVER.

We discuss what makes guests stand out - the good, the bad and the ugly - at each stage of the process:

Outreach

  • use the Top 200 charts to find shows to pitch,
  • pitch a mutually beneficial "collaboration,"
  • how NOT to end up in the guest pitch Hall of Shame,
  • unique ways to stand out,
  • what to put on your one-sheet,
  • the best podcast/guest matchmaking service.

Preparing

  • how to show up prepped and polished like a boss.

Recording

  • the ultimate podcast guesting crime,
  • how to become the kind of guest that gets referred out,
  • being memorable by leaving the listeners with a challenge.

Promotion

  • the benefit of creating unique URLs and landing pages for each specific show,
  • the BEST guests do these two things,
  • how to build link juice and domain authority,
  • leveraging flattery to your advantage.


Loom is a service that lets you make videos (5 minutes or less) for free that you can send in your pitches.

Here's the impressive video pitch Kris Bryant from Episode #107 sent me. Simple, but memorable.

Here's my one-sheet to get your creative juices flowing.

ConvertKit lets you clone landing pages lickety-split.

Kajabi, Squarespace, vanity URLs, Bitly and the Pretty Links plugin are all ways to create memorable links.
