As a book author, you should be targeting podcasts as a key way to market yourself and sell your book. Podcasts have three key things going for them:
Targeted: Podcasts can be targeted by topic and demographics. Get interviewed by podcasts that target your audience.
Book Buyers: Podcast listeners are book buyers. And they love to share their book discoveries with others.
Trusted Hosts: Podcast hosts are trusted by their tribes. So anything they recommend and anyone they interview will also be trusted.
Do you want to be a podcast guest? Do you want to be interviewed by more and more podcasts? Then learn how to pitch to them.
Pitch yourself as a star interviewee, someone who can hold the podcast audience. Let them know that you are prepared to provide them with a great interview that will entertain and educate their listeners.
Pitch sample questions that will intrigue your interviewers. Provide them with a list of five to ten questions that you can answer with great soundbites. Make those questions entertaining, fun, eye-opening, intriguing, news-worthy, or zonkers.
Pitch any testimonials you’ve gotten from previous podcasts hosts and radio show producers. Podcasts hosts are more likely to trust other podcast hosts…and also trust their recommendations.
