<\/span>Before starting your outreach campaign<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you start reaching out to people, it’s essential you take care of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Copyright your podcast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It may feel tempting to promote your podcast from the get-go, but protecting your intellectual property is crucial to keeping your show up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital to copyright your podcast show before starting a cold outreach campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also important to make sure that your podcast doesn’t infringe on the copyrights of any other content you use or reference in your show. Be sure to do your due diligence. Guarantee your content and sources are 100% authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 Here’s a resource to help you navigate copyright registration for your podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Know what types of pitches you want to send<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by making a list of relevant topics and write a short blurb under each, summarizing what every theme would cover and why. Use these topics when reaching out to potential podcast interviewees and collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if your podcast focuses on music, would you like to feature more indie music artists on your show? If so, what kinds of topics and themes would you like to cover with them? Would you talk about newly released albums, the stories behind their lyrics, or something else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make a list of potential brands, partners, and affiliates to reach out to<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve got a list of themes and topics to cover, it’s time to make a list of brands, partners, and affiliates you\u2019d like to reach out to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The types of people you reach out to will depend on your podcast\u2019s goals and niche. For instance, if you\u2019d like to boost your gourmet salsa\u2019s product sales, you might reach out to chefs that specialize in Latin cooking, restaurant owners, and grocery store product managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some examples of other brands, partners, and affiliates you might reach out to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecommerce brands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Millennials shift to online shopping<\/a> and online product reviews, podcast shows have become a trusted source of reviews and information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a podcast host, you might find success reaching out to ecommerce brands and offering to feature any products they have that are relevant to your niche and audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thought leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking to inspire, motivate, and uplift your audience? Featuring authors, speakers, bloggers, influencers, and other thought leaders on the show may be just the boost your audience needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have the right tools to start your outreach campaign, let\u2019s take a look at three expert tips you can use to boost your campaign\u2019s success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>\ud83d\udce7 Email high-quality leads<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outreach campaigns need high-quality leads to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever gotten an email that made you think, \u201cwhy on Earth would someone send me this?\u201d That kind of reaction only happens when someone sends an email to a poor lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the flip side, have you ever gotten an email that had you continuously nodding your head in agreement, smiling from ear to ear, or interested in knowing more? That\u2019s the mark of an email sent to a high-quality lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, successful cold email outreach campaigns depend on high-quality leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help distinguish between poor leads and quality leads, we recommend creating a checklist you can reference when you\u2019re prospecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if you host a podcast about all things marketing, then your checklist might look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
