And now, this week's episode.
Speaker:
00:00:19
(upbeat music)
Speaker:
00:00:22
I've spoken before in an earlier episode
Speaker:
00:00:25
about why you need a podcast trailer
Speaker:
00:00:27
and how it can help your show,
Speaker:
00:00:28
but you also need a strong elevator pitch for your podcast.
Speaker:
00:00:32
If you're unsure what an elevator pitch is,
Speaker:
00:00:33
it's essentially a brief way of introducing your podcast
Speaker:
00:00:36
and sharing the key points around it
Speaker:
00:00:37
in a really succinct manner.
Speaker:
00:00:39
Kind of like a trailer, but a trailer's audio,
Speaker:
00:00:41
the elevator pitch, is for when you're speaking to people.
Speaker:
00:00:44
So why do you need an elevator pitch in the first place?
Speaker:
00:00:46
Well, it complements your trailer
Speaker:
00:00:47
to offer a strong, cohesive reason to listeners
Speaker:
00:00:49
why they should turn into followers.
Speaker:
00:00:52
It also makes it easier to sell to sponsors and advertisers
Speaker:
00:00:54
if you can nail down exactly what your podcast is about,
Speaker:
00:00:57
so when you're sending your media kit to potential sponsors and advertisers,
Speaker:
00:01:00
your email, which essentially can be your elevator pitch,
Speaker:
00:01:03
encourages them to open your media kit.
Speaker:
00:01:05
It also keeps you, the podcaster, focused on the kind of content you should be publishing
Speaker:
00:01:09
to continue attracting listeners and turn them into followers.
Speaker:
00:01:12
And lastly, and maybe most importantly, it really helps you build a strong brand.
Speaker:
00:01:17
When listeners start sharing your podcast,
Speaker:
00:01:18
they can paraphrase your elevator pitch when recommending your podcast to other people.
Speaker:
00:01:22
If you're unsure what should be in your elevator pitch,
Speaker:
00:01:24
there's some free templates online, and I'll also link to these in the show notes.
Speaker:
00:01:27
so be sure to check them out after the episode.
Speaker:
00:01:29
Until the next time, happy podcasting.
