Podcasting Mentor: Better Brave

199: The DM Strategy That Helped Me Book 5x More Podcast Guest Interviews

Candace Dudley Season 1 Episode 199

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact pitching process that helped me book five times more podcast guest interviews this year — without using a fancy media kit or a full PR team.

If you’re a solopreneur or entrepreneur who’s been stuck sending cold email pitches that never get a response, this one’s for you. I’m sharing how I now use DMs to connect, build genuine relationships, and pitch myself in a way that actually works.

You’ll learn:

  • Why I ditched the traditional email + media sheet pitching process
  • How using DMs made my outreach more natural (and way more effective)
  • The importance of having niche speaking topics that make it easy for hosts to say yes
  • How to make sure you and the show are actually aligned before pitching
  • Why bringing real value and being a good human still matters most

Whether you’re just starting to pitch yourself for podcasts or you’re ready to refresh your approach, this episode will help you land more aligned interviews — and actually enjoy the process again.
