Whether you have your own podcast or you are getting interviewed as a guest expert, one of the great benefits you’ll experience is building your email list. In order to have the maximum number of listeners opt-in to your list, you need to have a killer landing page with the following elements:

1. A simple URL. At some point during your interview or podcast, take the opportunity to direct listeners to a clear, simple URL. Remember, most people are listening while in the car, at the gym, etc. so they may not have the opportunity to write down what you are saying. Make it logical, short, and easy to remember. […]

The same is true when you are pitching yourself as a guest expert without a one sheet. How is a host supposed to say YES without getting a good picture of who you are? A one sheet does just that. Its a one-page document that describes you as the great guest you are! It showcases your expertise in a concise and attractive way to let podcast hosts know who you are and what you have to offer their audience. If you’ve never seen a one sheet, here’s mine: […]

Friends, listen when I tell you that you are doing your audience and yourself a disservice when you insist on releasing only the most perfect podcast episodes. You are robbing your audience of the authenticity that podcasting so beautifully lends itself to. When you release an episode that is less than perfect, you are showing your audience that you are a real person with real flaws – just like them. You are giving them the opportunity to connect with you and be more open to your content, because they know your genuine. […]
