The Podcast Interview
Podcast interview marketing is leveraging other people’s platforms to get the marketing message to your ideal audience. The problem that many people face is that they undervalue themselves and overvalue others. People should let their expertise be heard and thus, diminish their obscurity. Sometimes the expert is a person with a PhD, but sometimes it is a person who spent 80 hours a week at his job for the last 10 years. The beauty of a podcast is that if done correctly, it is just a very natural yet digital conversation with another person in which you can promote your business. The key is to find the right podcast, and then to introduce and earn your invitation to talk. Not every podcast will make a difference for you. Find the podcast that your targeted audience listens. Furthermore, the important things to look at are the podcast itself and the website, the reach that podcast has, and the other guests. Even though the best podcast has the flow of casual conversation between people, it does require preparation. Lack of adequate preparation simply shows disrespect to both the audience and the host. Professional sounding equipment is a must-have so that there are no technical interruptions. The research of some of the previous podcasts is beneficial because they help to better understand the tone, questions, and overall atmosphere. The same way, an already prepared shortlist of your information such as bio, common questions, and social media links will take the pressure off the host as well.
Post Interview
Once the interview is done, another pool of possibilities opens. Promotion of the video by tagging the host as well brings new connections. The recording can be transcribed to text and used for writing blogs, or the short video clips can be made of the interview. The point is that the podcast interview is a raw material that can be used for many different purposes. Sometimes people are not even aware that some video they watched on YouTube is actually a podcast. In conclusion, people should be challenged to share their knowledge because what is ordinary to them might be amazing to somebody else. What we know can help other people and the digital world, in this case, podcast especially, allows us to share our opinions and knowledge independently of our location.
