Here is just a bit, a Bacon Bit, we covered in our 25 minutes together.

-Be willing to invest in your education about podcasting.
-If you’re a podcaster, interview people you really want to learn from. If you are a guest, what do you have that a host could learn about?
-Treat the interview as you would a conversation over a cup of coffee.
-You are a featured expert to teach something both to the host and the audience.
-Being referred to high-traffic shows is a plus.
-A podcast is not a business in and of itself. It is a piece of the business model.
-Research the show AND the host before you approach them.
Video messages to the host about getting on their show are unique and may get their attention.
-Follow hosts on social media and engage with them. Show you are really interested in their platform.
-You may need to have a pre-interview conversation.
-Use the 3/5 formula. (what’s this? Find out when you watch this interview)
-Be specific about what you will talk about. Vagueness doesn’t work.
-Have a unique perspective to what you do.
-Leave the audience wanting more.
-Material to prepare… short bio, headshot (high res), address to do snail mail, topic sheet on each topic you are doing.
-Build real relationships with hosts.
-Invest in people and they will invest in you.
-Podcasting can make you an influencer.
-Do every podcast show you can. You never know who’s listening.
-Listen to lots of shows.
