Appearing on podcasts is a great way to establish ourselves as experts and land more clients by reaching people who are in need of our help. But what kind of podcasts should we pitch? How can we find our niche? What should a pitch look like? And should we spend time sending pitches ourselves? In this episode, Matt Johnson talks about how to find the right podcasts and write a pitch that gets noticed.

3 Things We Learned From This Episode

• Sometimes, being invited as a guest on a big podcast isn't as beneficial to our business as we would like. Because the audience is so wide, they all have different problems to solve.
• When we focus on podcasts that are very niche, and everyone in the audience has a problem that we can solve, that's where we get the traction we need.
• The best way make sure we actually get featured on a podcast is to find the right show. Finding the right niche makes it easier for us to come up with a story and have useful experiences to share on the podcast.

The process of discovering new podcasts and pitching takes quite a bit of time. This is why it's so important for us to have someone do the pitching for us so we can spend our time on higher value activities. Another shortcut to successful pitching is using pitching templates that are proven to work.
