To plan your first interviews, keep your ideal listener and show promise in mind. The few interviews of your podcast can set the tone for potential listeners. The key to planning great interviews is to DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Research your guests, even if you know them.

Great podcast names aren’t just catchy; they serve a purpose! Remember, when you are an unknown show, the name of your podcast can help attract your ideal listener. Therefore, we have three steps to help you develop nine plus on-purpose name ideas. You’ll create name names based on your ideal listener’s needs, the transformation they hope to experience, and call the listener and transformation out. This will give you a solid base to experiment with.

To be a successful interviewer immediately, you must start relationships for the right reasons! You’ll get guests on your show more if you reach out to them after doing your homework. When you reach out, share part of their message that resonated with you and how it can serve your audience.
When you can clearly understand and communicate a guest’s value, it’s not only easier to promote the episode, but it’s also easier for the episode to gain traction and be “shareable.” Great marketing is easily communicated. When you promote a guest well, they are more likely to share it with their audience.
