How We Got Our Client 100k Views Overnight

Posted on October 26, 2017 (March 30, 2022) by rockthecast

We get asked by a lot of people if we can get them on BIG shows. The answer is… maybe. The first requirement is that YOU must be a great fit for those shows. We can hustle to find the biggest shows, write the best pitch in the world, and get you a meeting with the producer, but if you fail to sell yourself as a great guest when you meet that producer, no agency can help you. Confidence is everything when you are a guest expert on podcasts or any media outlet.

I recently booked our client Jen Briney on The Young Turks network (which has 3.4 million subscribers on YouTube) Her episode had over 100,000 views overnight! Let’s go over how I made this interview happen: […]

I am a busy lady! Normally, I try to squeeze a few extra hours out of every day. I have yet to be successful. Working with Jessica and Interview Connections has allowed me the flexibility to rearrange my work day so I can fit all of those things that make me busy (producing & hosting my podcast Great Beer Adventure, being an engineer on a local radio show, planning a large event for my show, designing a beer themed activity book, just to name a few) into the typical work day so that I can focus on being with my kids when they are home! – Amanda […]

Podcasting Longevity

Posted on January 12, 2017 (March 30, 2022) by rockthecast

It’s difficult to keep podcasting after three to six months when it seems like you’re not seeing an ROI and no one from your audience is engaging with you. But it takes a long time to see that ROI so how do you stick with it? Here are my top tips:

While it is important to have a podcast avatar, for me to continue podcasting, I must personally be interested in the show. If you love the topic that you’re podcasting about, you won’t have trouble keeping your show going for a long time. Most people quit their show because it either falls too low on their priority list, or they are not interested enough in the topic of the show. If you’re not into the show anymore, change up the focus of the podcast. […]
