    Best practices for podcast guesting outreach
    To stand out and catch the attention of podcast hosts, it's important to have a personalized introduction, a subject title that stands out, and 2-4 topic points. Providing links and a bio sheet can also be helpful, and making a video introduction can help you stand out in a positive way.

    Communicating your value as a podcast guest
    To communicate your value as a podcast guest, include links to your previous work such as blog articles and social media posts that support your expertise and experience. Doing this provides social proof and acts as a testimonial to your credibility.

    Ways to get selected as a podcast guest
    In addition to building relationships with podcasters, seeking advice from previous guests on how they got on the show can be helpful. In addition, rather than pushing to be a guest, ask if youre a good fit for the podcast host and their audience.
