10 Podcast Pitch Mistakes to Avoid

If you're looking to be a guest on podcasts make sure you're maximising your efforts and not making common pitching mistakes. Today we talk about 10 podcast pitch mistakes to avoid.

Key Takeaways

Podcast Pitch Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Saying you’ve listened to the show and connected with something discussed when you’ve just picked something out of the show notes. 
2. Starting every paragraph with ‘I’ and solely talking about how fantastic you are.
3. Sending a pitch that’s vague and wishy washy.
4. Getting the host’s name wrong. (This should be number one.)
5. Pitching to a show that doesn’t have guests or to a show that only has women, for example.
6. Pitching to a show that’s not recording any more.
7. Not identifying the show you want to pitch to in your outreach. Some hosts have more than one. Be specific.
8. Ignoring how hosts ask to be pitched to.
9. Going on and on and on and on. You need to cover the essentials but don't write an essay.
10. Following up aggressively (but do follow up.)
