And even the ones that do respond, they never do anything to help you promote their episode! I'll show you how to find podcast guests in a far more easy and effective way. The problem isn't your pitch, it's that you're targeting people who aren't actively looking to be podcast guests, and that they haven't much incentive to share it, right now. I introduce the concept of "guest ready experts" - people who are already on a podcast tour, have their gear sorted, and are actively promoting their appearances. The magic trick here is a simple 5-minute LinkedIn search where you can find these people easily! I break down exactly how to find them, what to say, what to avoid, and how to follow up without being annoying. The real power comes from turning this into a monthly system - batch your podcast guest searches, build a pipeline, and stop that feast-or-famine cycle of podcast guest booking once and for all. Let's get into how to find podcast guests who'll promote your show, so you never have to worry about ineffective podcast interview outreach again!
