1. Not Sending Enough Pitches
The more podcasts you reach out to, the better your chances of getting a response.
What to Do:
Expand Your Outreach: Search for more podcasts that fit your niche.
Try Smaller Shows: Medium and smaller podcasts are often more open to new guests.
2. Hosts Need Time to Respond
Hosts receive a lot of emails and may need reminders to notice yours.
What to Do:
Follow Up: Politely send a follow-up if you don’t hear back after a week.
Be Patient: Space follow-ups 7-10 days apart to avoid overwhelming them.
3. Generic Pitches Get Ignored
Mass emails feel impersonal and are easy to skip.
What to Do:
Personalize Every Pitch: Mention specific episodes or topics from their podcast and explain how you can add value.
4. Your Subject Line Doesn’t Stand Out
A bland subject line won’t grab attention.
What to Do:
Be Catchy and Specific: Use engaging subject lines like, “How I Increased Revenue by 300% – A Podcast Guest Pitch.”
By implementing these tips, you’ll boost your chances of connecting with podcast hosts and landing more guest spots! 😊
