1. A simple URL. At some point during your interview or podcast, take the opportunity to direct listeners to a clear, simple URL.

Posted on June 30, 2016 (March 30, 2022) by rockthecast

Podcast interviews are not a form of advertising. Podcast interviews are a form of content marketing, a strategy that focuses on providing highly valuable content in order to attract a specific audience. When a listener hears you on a podcast, they should be consuming actionable tips that they can apply right away in their business and their life.

The Power of Positivity

Posted on May 26, 2016 (March 30, 2022) by rockthecast

There is one key thing all podcasters need to find success. No, it’s not a $2,000 microphone or a huge celebrity guest. It’s certainly not becoming “#1 in New and Noteworthy!” The key to success in podcasting and life in general is positivity.

The brain can only hold one type of thought at a time, a positive thought or a negative thought. More and more I am seeing people choose the negative. Why is it that when someone posts an update on Facebook that asks people to post their “biggest pet peeve” they’ll get HUNDREDS of responses? Why do that?? Why inspire a conversation of negativity?

How to Find Podcast Interviews

Posted on April 14, 2016 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

So you are ready to make the leap into getting interviewed on podcasts. Congratulations! You’ve got your one sheet and headshot ready to go, and you’re off to start pitching yourself to shows. Now…where do you start? I’m going to share with you 3 resources for finding great interviews on podcasts in your niche.

Imagine going to the grocery store to buy a box of cereal. Instead of the colorful, descriptive boxes lining the shelves, all you find are plain brown boxes with price tags and a little note saying “The box of cereal is perfect for you!” It would be pretty hard to figure out which box was actually the one you wanted, right?

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: […]
