Landing a Remarkable Interview
By What Works with Tara McMullin
There are more benefits to being a guest on someone else's podcast than I can count. But here are just a few:
- Book sales, new clients, and speaking engagements—I've experienced real financial benefits from being interviewed on podcasts (and so have our clients at YellowHouse.Media)
- New perspective and ideas—a great interview has a way of sparking your creative mojo
- New connections—I've met so many great people simply by agreeing to (or asking for) an interview
Maybe those reasons convince you to put some energy into landing remarkable interviews, but you don't know where to start. Or maybe you've been trying to land remarkable interviews and coming up short.
In this 90-minute workshop, I'll walk you through:
- Researching which shows are right for you to pitch
- Finding the angles that will make podcast hosts say "yes!"
- Crafting a pitch that actually gets opened
- Preparing for an interview
- Giving your best interview, from great answers to expert microphone technique
We'll also discuss podcasting trends specifically as they relate to podcast pitching and what not to do when you're pitching yourself.
