5. Crafting the Standing Ovation Pitch
Designing Your Introduction: Your pitch to podcast hosts is your spotlight moment. Create an introduction that captures the essence of your message, showcases your understanding of the audience, and highlights the unique flavor you bring to the show.
6. Dress Rehearsal: Tailoring Your Act
Customizing for the Crowd: Once you’ve landed a guest spot, tailor your content to align seamlessly with the podcast’s theme and audience. This isn’t about changing your tune; it’s about adapting your rhythm to fit the show’s melody.
