I Want Guests!

July 8, 2008

We podcasters receive a healthy number of requests from people who want to be a guest on our shows.  To help potential guest make a good pitch, I provide some information and tips right on my website.

Because I have taken the time to tell someone exactly how to approach me with a show topic idea and I have given clear information on just what sort of topics I am open to, I get annoyed when someone makes contact to pitch something that is completely outside of the scope of my show.

Annoyed may equal me hitting the delete key.

I don’t get delete happy with everything.  If the person writing me is a work at home mom, I’ll always take a moment to reply and let them know the topic isn’t a good fit.  If I know of a podcaster who would be interested in their topic I will forward their email to them.

It’s sad that most of the guest requests I get aren’t appropriate because I WANT guests.  I want interesting people with good topics to contact me.  I want to interview moms who are doing well with a home business.

Should you send me a shop topic idea?

    Hi Kelly -

    I have an idea about where blogging can take you - for instance corporate blogging & social networking jobs, community manager jobs, etc.

    I’ll find some time to write up a pitch for you (easier said than done!)

Got something to say?
