    About this ebook

    *Podcast Research Strategies!*
    Struggling to reach potential your ideal community - clients, customers, or followers?
    Want to guest on podcasts, but have no idea where to start looking for shows?
    Frustrated with confusing information and NO results?

    After researching, 1,117 podcasts in search of an interview, entrepreneur/podcaster/writer Case Lane has strategies, answers and ideas for you in this detailed, little guide!

    If you skip the 99.99% of podcasts that are not on the 'top 100' lists, you miss your audience, your opportunity + a chance to make an impact!

    Part 1 introduces you to the incredible opportunity in podcasting.

    Part 2 gives you all the numbers from this inadvertent research project that started as a quest to find interviews, and continues with this book.

    Part 3 is the industry background and 'global' podcasting issues that are shaking up hosts, guests and listeners alike.
    Learn the most effective outreach strategies, and the structural issues that are preventing hosts and guests from getting together!

    Where do you want to start making changes:
    •Directories with so many different category names and search approaches...
    •Dead podcasts crowding out active players in the search pages...
    •Potential guests lurking around and looking for an opportunity

    Part 4 is the most-detailed and comprehensive guide you'll find anywhere on how to search, find and extract relevant podcasts where you can interview. These 10 must-do steps for diligent guests ignored by the potential speakers you have never heard of!
    Your research and outreach cannot be successful if you forget even one of these basics, and you need to understand this process before even considering sending your first pitch!

    Part 5 is hot tips and best practices for hosts who are looking to find more incredible guests. You will understand what your #1 FIX needs to be, to make it clear you have a welcome mat for potential guests (you might be surprised to learn you're not doing this!).

    Part 6 is ideas for guests who want to be valuable participants in shows. Learn how the informed elite of successful interviewees smartly position their message, so hosts know to choose their story over everyone else (hint: it’s not luck - there is a proven strategy anyone can apply!).

    Part 7 is for all you listeners who are wondering where to find the conversations you need to advance your professional career, learn new skills, and plan for the future.

    What do you need to be accepted as a podcast guest?

    This book tells you exactly how to move forward. You will realize that you can find your dream shows, like-minded hosts, and the audience that matters for your message.

      PRELUDE

      Years ago the Walt Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida had an adults-only entertainment area called, Pleasure Island.

      All visitors entered over one 'bridge' paying the cover charge, before spilling into the island's party atmosphere.

      Encircling an open air stage, and plenty of dance and mingling space were singular-themed bars, clubs and entertainment centers. One for country, one for disco, one for rock, one for hip-hop, one for jazz...and so on.

      The most popular locations pulsated with overflowing crowds and trembling speakers.

      The less visited were quiet escapes, and a welcome break.

      A visitor could roam from one to the next, pulled along solely on the whim of musical taste that captured the soul in that moment.

      Or you could spend all night inside one cocoon, hearing only sounds that pleased your ears.

      If you were not sure where to go, you could follow the crowd or simply ask someone 'what's good tonight?'

      When the noise grew too loud, you wandered outside to sway under the warm Florida night stars to a previously unknown random selection band, and occasionally world-famous stars who had earned the spot on center stage for the night.

      You carried your drink with you, left your friends where they preferred, and enjoyed a singular experience, in a collected domain.

      Pleasure Island was both a bastion of individual entertainment niche preferences, and one big party!

      Sadly, Disney closed the club part of the island in 2008.

      But the concept lives on, as the defining entertainment experience of the future - platforms providing a variety of options in one location, where all can enter, select a preference, and enjoy their own brand of niche entertainment without ever leaving.

      Cable television began the process, delivering theme-specific content across the television dial...

      Sirius Satellite Radio packaged every selection of music into its boxes...

      While everyone talks about 'watching Netflix,' specific show recommendations come from friends, the Internet, and your own bored scrolling.

      But those official platforms belonged to the established and connected.

      The rise of YouTube delivered video production to everyone else. And subsequently pushed entertainment into its own corner by delivering, in one place, videos covering news, education, how-to's, political commentary, and every other visual imaginable (so far).

      Audio would not be left behind...

      The convergence of consumer desire for niche content, producer dispersion into the global general public, and free distribution through online platforms, fueled the audio streaming medium, podcasts.

      And with the rise, came the challenges.

      Unlike YouTube, podcasts have no common directory. The dominant player, Apple Podcasts, is certainly not the only one, and
