How to get onto podcasts as a guest. Podcasts as a format have quadrupled in size in just three years and it's estimated that there are now over 2 million separate podcast shows. This means that whatever your unique business niche, there is likely now a podcast talking about it.But to get invited onto a podcast as a guest you need to understand what podcast hosts are looking for. You just having a vegan business is no longer unique, and if you haven't got a really amazing story or a crucial bit of expertise to share with their listeners, then you're really just asking the host of that podcast to give you a free advert. So how can you find podcasts that might want you as a guest? How can you create a great story if you don't already have one? And how do you approach a podcast host to ask to be interviewed?About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.

We talk all things web with Kayleigh from Kakadu Creative. The first thing someone does when they find out about your business is go and check out your website. What they find there dictates what happens next because research shows that someone makes up their mind about your company (and whether they want to work with or buy from you or not) within the first few seconds of loading up your website. In this episode, we are joined by Vegan Business Tribe member Kayleigh Nicolaou from Kakadu Creative to talk about how to create a website that actually delivers you more customers - and why it's especially important to get it right as a vegan business. Kakadu have also been through their own journey, recently rebranding themselves as a 'vegan' creative agency. So David asks what a difference bringing their vegan ethics to the front has made to their business.About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.

What investors are looking for. There's a lot of money floating around in the vegan sector right now. People are looking to invest in the next Beyond Meat or Oatly but if that's the case, then why can it be so hard to find an investor for your vegan business idea? Few investors will put money into an unproven concept and most won't give you money to see if an idea works just because it's vegan. So David takes a look at what investors are actually looking for in a business and what factors they take into account - and it's not just about your figures.But that's only half the story. Once you are ready for investment, you need to be able to put all that information into a concise pitch deck or presentation that gives an investor all the information they need at a glance. So what needs to be in that document? How many pages should it be? And how can you use leverage your vegan connection to get an investor to back your mission?About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.

This interview with co-founder Chris Kong is part of our Vegan Scale Up series of interviews available to members on the Vegan Business Tribe website. And it doesn't matter if you have a food business like Chris, sell a service or even run a charity, you can adopt the same 'growth mindset' he used to scale up your vegan business.About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.

What happens when you parody animal farmers. Molly Elwood started Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat after trying to come up with an idea for a vegan bumper sticker. We’re all familiar with the slogan ‘why love one type of animal but eat another?’, Molly decided to take that one step further and launch a website that mimicked family-owned meat farms, but replacing cows and pigs with labradors and spaniels, to highlight their hypocracy.Within two months, Elwood's had nearly 30,000 followers on social media. David talks to Molly to find out how she did it and what the reactions have been from people who get taken in.About Vegan Business TribeHosted by Vegan Business Tribe co-founder, David Pannell.
