The Pitch to Podcasts Email Template Nobody’s Talking About | with Shelby Janner (Chief Publicity Director, Zilker Media) | Ep 82

I recently received a pitch to my email inbox that blew me away, and so of course, I knew I had to share it with you! In this episode with Zilker Media's Chief Publicity Officer Shelby Janner, we cover: the exact pitch template her team has used to reach 2.5 million listeners in the past two years alone, so that you can copy it for your own pitches; the pros and cons of being featured in legacy media (like Forbes) and micro-media (like podcasts), empowering you to decide what to prioritize in your current season of brand-building; how to find the best podcasts to pitch yourself to in your niche, allowing you to set yourself up for guesting on the kinds of podcasts that will help you to reach your goals faster; best practices for preparing and for beyond the interview, so that you can get the most return on your time investment from every guest appearance; and so much more!
