Girl Get Visible Podcast: SEO Traffic, Content Marketing, and Business

Have you ever had someone address you by the wrong name? I have while receiving a podcast pitch and immediately, I lost my desire in reading the remainder of the email. Mistakes happen, but that’s not really a great first impression if you want to be a guest on my podcast show and in front of my audience.

If you’re not familiar with what a podcast pitch is, I am here to help. It is where you send an email to a fellow podcaster letting them know why they should consider you as a guest on their show! It’s an exciting and amazing experience to grow and build your network in the podcast world. Podcast pitches are important to increase your visibility, because being in front of another audience can increase traffic to your site and your business.

Okay, so we know podcast pitches are important, but what happens when your pitch is just not great. I have seen people throw themselves under the pitch bus, either on their own or by pitch companies they pay for. This is not the kind of visibility we need.

I’ve provided 10 common mistakes people make when sending a podcast pitch. I’ve had the unpleasant experience of them all, and we really need to talk about it, guys.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Reasons why your pitches are getting ignored.
What things to avoid when sending podcast pitches?
How to make your podcast pitches better?
How to make the person you are pitching see value in your proposal?

Remember, a pitch is not good until it is accepted. So if you see yourself in any of these examples, it’s time to make some changes.

Metrics aren’t a Myth

Today’s episode is to provide accountability to my Girl Get Visible listeners, on how you view your metrics and KPI. In recent discussions, I’ve seen business owners, not willing to own up to, whatever metrics they are measuring their business by.

For example, in SEO, metrics we may measure ourselves by are email subscribers, bounce rates, keyword rankings, and even page speed, to name a few. If you’ve been in a few SEO training sessions already, you may hear some lofty metric goals, but don’t scorn them. If you see a metric that’s relevant in your industry and immediately resort to lowering them, you are doing yourself a disservice. Nothing is unattainable and you have the power to succeed, beyond your wildest imagination. Now, it may not happen overnight, but make it a goal and continue to work on it.

Listen to this word of encouragement on why metrics should not be seen as a myth, but instead truth to the success of your business.

In this episode you’ll learn:

Why, quality metrics for your business are not a myth?
How to respond to metrics that seem unattainable when introduced?
What, we need to be realistic about as business owners?

I really hope you enjoy this episode, and don’t forget to share with me the goals you are trying to achieve in the comments.
