Hey! I’ve got a special mission for you starting right now. Next week you’ll hear a great interview on Marketers Mojo Talk Radio from Francine Silverman about becoming a guest on radio shows and internet talk radio shows.
The interview with Francine got me thinking and I was scheming up ways to get myself on shows while also doing a case study of her book, the Business Directory of Talk Radio Shows.
What I came up with was MISSION: TALK RADIO!!! Join me as I spend the month of March booking as many shows as I can to promote my upcoming Website Design coaching program.
May’s Top Secret Mission: Talk Radio Infiltration & Captivation
Your mission is to find target talk radio shows to analyze, monitor and approach. Convert as many non-believers as you can – get them to invite you to their talk radio show.
It won’t be hard if you get on their good side. Butter them up by first gathering intelligence about their talk radio show, then find out what their show objective is, then make an offer they can’t refuse by making sure you are exactly the target they are aiming for.
Assignment:
1. Seek out shows that fit your business.
2. Listen to them and make sure you’d be an ideal guest.
3. Contact show hosts and introduce yourself as a potential interviewee.
4. Book as many shows as you can for the upcoming month (or months), with a minmum of four shows.

Angela,
Great mission! I love all the challenges that have been surfacing lately and are really getting my wheels turning. However, I do have a question. I’d love to be a guest on natural parenting shows – but I don’t have a product of my own to offer. What I have is my own natural parenting website and relaunching podcast. How can I show my worth to be on a show when I don’t have a product or service to offer their listeners?
Thanks!

Hi Alaina,
Well you don’t have to have a product or service to be on all podcasts. It’s something I decided for my own podcast to feature valuable products I’m finding but there are many other podcasts that want to hear from business owners with an important story to share.
So when you approach talk show hosts approach it from the point of view of what value you can offer to their readers. Knowing what kind of content they already put out will help you laser-target your suggestions so I would recommend listening to a show or two before contacting the host.
Also, you don’t have a report but many online marketers offer a free report or ecourse that they can promote, maybe you do too? Or you could even put together a short report to target the market that the podcasts you are interested in reaching speaks to.
Hope that helps and that you get introduced to many new people as a talk radio show guest this May and beyond!
