It might not seem like pitching for sponsorship (for a podcast or blog) is similar to pitching to be a guest on a podcast, but that's precisely what this episode is about. Alongside my guest, Jenny Melrose, we talk through our different (but similar) approaches to pitching. Jenny's specialty is helping bloggers pitch for sponsorships, while mine is pitching business owners to be guests on podcasts. We chat about what's similar and what's different about the work we do, and we also talk about our experiences in blogging and podcast hosting. Jenny Melrose helps bloggers, influencers, and entrepreneurs build their businesses and make money online in a number of ways. She's the host of the Influencer Entrepreneurs podcast and the author of Influencer Entrepreneurs: The 4-Step Framework to Building Your Audience, Growing Your Business, and Making More Money Online. There's a lot of crossover in the work that we do. But whether you're pitching to be a podcast guest or pitching for sponsorship, they both involve at least two things - knowing your audience and laying the groundwork for a mutually beneficial business relationship. Topics covered include: How Jenny transitioned from blogging to helping bloggers and influencers learn how to scale their business Why Jenny encourages her clients to add a podcast to the channels they already manage, in order to attract sponsors Mistakes that she has seen some Business to Business podcasters make when it comes to ads and sponsorships How pitching for sponsorship is similar to pitching for podcast appearances - it's all about finding a perfect fit for the audience you're wanting to help How podcast guesting has impacted Jenny's business, and how they manage it internally Full show notes and resources: https://thepodwizegroup.com/pitching-for-sponsorships
