Pitches vanish into inboxes?
Solo experts pitch shows weekly with zero replies. Angles blur across identical emails.
1. The problem
Consultants and authors pitch podcasts constantly with near-zero replies. Generic angles drown in host inboxes daily. Follow-ups feel pushy without systems. Dream shows stay unreachable for years. The hardest part is angle-market fit per show. A pitch might fit perfectly yet read generic. That uncertainty makes it hard to land mics that matter.
“I pitch shows weekly with zero replies. I need angle research plus follow-ups that book.”
2. What exists
PodMatch, Podbooker and spreadsheet outreach book guests, while most pitch blindly. Marketplaces charge per connection steeply. A sheet might track sends poorly. There is little help with angle research plus staged follow-ups for solo experts.
3. The solution
The solution could be a booking engine for would-be guests. It could research shows for angle fit quickly. It could tailor pitches per host with episode references. Follow-up sequences could run politely automatically. The goal would be mics booked monthly, not yearly.
