#118 - Welcome back to another Meet the Mentors episode where my podcast growth coach, Adam Schaueble, and I dish about what makes a good podcast guest and what not to do . . . EVER.
We discuss best/worst practices 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 and Bitly and the Pretty Links plugin are all ways to create memorable links.
