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?
