61. Actionable Tips to Improve Your Pitch

As we barrel headlong towards the holidays, it’s time for us to reflect on how the pitches we send have changed in 2021. These changes are a strategic shift, brought about by two key things we’ve noticed: There are more people out there who are pitching themselves for podcast guesting opportunities There are more people out there sending BAD pitches to podcast hosts So what I try to do, both on this episode and in the podwize co-op, is to provide you with actionable, strategic advice to craft your podcast pitches in the best way possible. And by the same token, make it easier for podcast hosts to see that you’re going to bring value to their audience.  In this episode, I share with you the ways in which the pitches we send have changed, the rationale behind these changes, and point you towards a valuable free resource that will immediately sharpen up your pitching game!  Topics covered include: If you’re getting value from the podcast, leaving a rating and review is so helpful to us.
