    The Art of Pitching: Personalized, Relevant Podcast Guesting Approaches

    The Art of Pitching: Personalized, Relevant Podcast Guesting Approaches

    Guest podcasting, teaching, & speaking are excellent approaches to your visibility strategy…
    And to be effective, you've gotta pitch yourself.
    Personally, I've received hundreds of terrible, horrible, no good, very bad pitches - and so has every other podcast host I've ever spoken with!
    And most pitch approaches are about sending BIG volumes for big results, but today's guest has an approach that's about sending FEWER pitches for more interviews!
    Let's ensure YOUR pitch is a great one with today's episode!
    Meet Mai-kee Tsang, who essentially gives us a master class in effective pitching today!
    Mai-kee is a sustainable visibility mentor, podcast guest strategist, and ICF certified trauma-conscious leadership coach.
    In our conversation, we explore podcast guesting on a deep level.
    Mai-kee shares her wisdom on what personalized outreach looks like, how to craft a personal pitch, and shares her game-changing "PR method."
    Her insights come from her experience and her expertise in coaching, so we were also able to discuss the mindset needed for pitching and her personal success story.
    One of my favorite moments was Mai-kee's story of a challenge she gave herself to write 101 personalized pitches in 30 days – spoiler alert: it’s a cautionary tale with incredible lessons!
    Oh! One thing I almost forgot: we discussed how to manage rejection sensitivity:**
    It's real and it MIIIIIIGHT be holding you back, so listen in to get practical advice from a well-established expert on how to handle rejection, set boundaries, & maintain your well-being…
    Let's ease-ify this world of pitching and guest appearances!

    BTS with Dallas Travers ~ The realities of navigating a huge content project!

    BTS with Dallas Travers ~ The realities of navigating a huge content project!

    Dallas Travers had a GREAT freakin' idea for a VERY large initiative she wanted to put into the world…
    It was an e-magazine that a bit of a 'disruptor' in the online space, with 3 main goals:
    1. Offer coaches alternatives to outdated approaches
    2. Provide space for underrepresented voices to be heard
    3. Raise money to donate funds to a meaningful cause
    When I got my eyes on it, the first thing I thought while it was, "DAMN. This is a fantastic piece of content."
    The second thing I thought was, "DAMN. This must've been an enormous amount of work to pull off."
    So I reached out to Dallas to see if she'd talk about the REALITY behind what it took to actually getting that big, exciting, impactful, amazing piece of content into the world…
    When she said yes, I was thrilled!
    You probably already know Dallas Travers: she's the host of Coaches on a Mission podcast AND is a well-known & highly respected coach of coaches.
    Dallas takes us behind the scenes to reveal what it's really like to develop such a big vision and bring her online magazine - called What To Do Instead (WTDI) - to life.
    The What To Do Instead project created challenges & forced Dallas (and her team) to
    evolve their priorities,
    put Dallas' strategic gifts into overdrive,
    and play with new tactics & approaches so they could hit their goals.
    In true Dallas form, she generously shares the lessons learned & gives advice that'll help you bring your own ideas to fruition…
    While honoring 'the dignity of your own process' - one of my personal favorite Dallas-isms.
    Listen in for inspiration, motivation, and a dose of reality - always a great trifecta.
    *Download the What To Do Instead e-mag here: https://dallastravers.lpages.co/wtdi/
    *For every new subscriber, Dallas' business donates $1 to The Afiya Center, a Reproductive Justice organization committed to serving Black womxn and girls.

    Leverage LinkedIn's untapped potential (without the snooze factor)

    Has LinkedIn made you yawn with its slog of dry job postings and phony baloney "congratulations" messages?
    (Just me then? Okay.)
    Well, in case you're LinkedIn curious but aren't sure whether it's worth it…
    Listen to this episode of Content Creation Made Easy where guest Tania Bhattacharyya shares her insights as a LinkedIn strategist, personal brand messaging expert & storytelling enthusiast who owns Lumos Marketing.
    1. Tania saves us from the LI snooze factor with storytelling that breaks away from corporate jargon & industry speak.
    You'll walk away inspired to weave a well-woven tale in your 'About' section & bring your profile to life.
    2. With that done, you'll learn the ins & outs of building real connections and a supportive network that go beyond BS likes. Engagement matters here.
    3. Lastly, Tania shares deep insights about navigating shyness & other limitations to instead craft a genuine presence that's impactful.
    OH!! One more thing! Apparently LinkedIn is a huuuuugely untapped platform, with only 5% of its users engaging on it!
    So, there IS space for you here! Tania's episode will help you make it your own.
    Tania jokes that she's "LinkedIn monogamous" & uses the platform effectively as her playground.
