The Daily Dave - Podcasting Tips - Two Things Interview Podcasters are Doing That Frustrates New Guests - ReThink Your Strategy

Ok, so in a pre-interview of a guest for my Living The Next Chapter Podcast I met with a wonderful person that has had the worst experiences as a podcast guest. Podcasters, if you are doing the following two things with your guests, you need to stop - or - be more transparent as to your intentions and your process when dealing with guests - the way some podcasters are acting is making the rest of us look bad - so please stop!

So not bait and switch your potential guest - this person I mentioned was invited onto a podcast only for the podcaster to use this opportunity to try to sell their course, membership, mastermind etc. A Sales Funnel disguised as a podcast interview is classless, tacky and disturbing - don't muddy the water - please stop!

The second thing to stop doing is having two tier interactions with your guests - if you charge some of your guests and don't charge others, do not hold a guest's podcast release date for ransom and demand payment to bump them up the list so they can share their episode.

Whoever taught you to do these tactics has led you astray.

This kind woman was totally discouraged by your actions as an interview podcaster.

Thankfully, I was able to meet her on her last attempt at being on a podcast and I will make sure that she has a great episode, that she has me supporting her before, during and after the podcast and that I will continue to be there for her as a guest into the future.

A sales funnel is a sales funnel - a podcast interview is a podcast interview - please do not confuse the two!

Rant over!
