Description

There are hundreds of little details to think about when pitching yourself as a podcast guest. But for now, focus on these basic elements:

1. Listen to a few episodes of a podcast before pitching. If a podcast isn't a good match for what you do, don't pitch it. If a podcast doesn't have guests, don't pitch it.
2. Check for a "guest submission" process before pitching. If there is one, follow it.
3. Focus your guest pitch on a specific solution for the audience. What can you do for this audience?
4. Be detailed in your pitch. Mention specific episodes and elements of the podcast. Talk about what like about the podcast.
5. Be patient. Give the host enough time to follow up with you.

 Podcasting is a MARATHON, not a sprint. Be patient, take action and apply yourself.
