Ash and Kane also reveal some of the common mistakes people make when approaching sponsors and guests and what you can do differently to get a better outcome!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You don’t need to give every bit of information in an initial email to a sponsor, focus instead on the bits of information that prove to them why they should be interested in sponsoring your show specifically.
- Will guests you want to stand out from the many podcast requests they get, what makes you and your show different, think about how to differentiate your communication to them.
- Just one or two notable guests are worth mentioning in an initial email, to incite interest, no one is expecting you to list every guest but recognisable names in your niche can be very helpful for signalling legitimacy.
- Watch your tone, formal is easily dismissed. It’s better to be personal and authentic in how you communicate.
- Guesting on other podcasts is an opportunity to share yourself, tell their audience what you can offer, your expertise and more
- When pitching to guests, talk about what you can offer them, and sell them the benefits of being interviewed by you.
