From Overlooked to Overbooked with Shelley Roxanne – PTC 299

Word-of-mouth is one of the best ways to get your audience to grow. You can create word-of-mouth in many ways. It isn’t only one friend telling another. Word-of-mouth comes from hearing about something from any trusted source.

WORD-OF-MOUTH

People can hear about your podcast from a friend, a family member or a conversation between two others. They also might hear your show mentioned on another podcast, see it mentioned on social media or see it mentioned in a blog post.

You can also get in front of new listeners by appearing on television, on stage or on summits created for your target audience.

To grow your show, you need to get in front of people who are not already aware of you and your show. When people talk about your show in a good way, it is very similar to an endorsement. You win by association.

You never know if you can land an interview on another platform unless you ask. However, don’t ask in a pick-up line sort of way. You need to create a bit of a relationship before you can invite yourself on the show.

FOCUSED APPROACH

So many podcasters and agents of podcasters reach out to shows in a shotgun style. They randomly fire and hope they hit someone.

I know this, because I often receive interview requests from people who make no sense for my show or my audience. Do you homework and build the relationship before you ask for the interview.

Last week, I interviewed Dan Miller. He and I had been forming that relationship for years. I was really on his radar in the past 6 months. We knew each other before we even began discussing an interview.

When you try to land interviews, target fewer with deeper relationships. Find a dozen people who could become valuable connections. These should also be people you can help as well.

Begin these relationships about 6 months before you are ready to launch your course, interview tour or event. Give the relationship time to grow.

It is much easier to find those people when you have a warm introduction. If somebody who I know introduces you to me, it is much more likely that you and I will foster a relationship. If I get a random e-mail from a person I don’t know, there is very little chance that will go anywhere.

Work daily to help people and grow your network. Be a connector for others and your network will become amazingly big. Just do the work.
